[10] In 2017, Baffinland, the operators of a massive new open-pit iron-ore mine, in northern Baffin Island, planned to charter the Nunavik to carry supplies, through mid-winter ice, to its port in Milne Inlet.

[11] This mid-winter shipment would have included additional massive 200 tonne dump trucks, so they could be ready for the beginning of operations, in the spring.

In 2018, Nunavik was chartered by Ironbark Zinc for a test voyage to prove the shipping route feasible for its Citronen project in Northern Greenland.

[1] A handysize bulk carrier designed to carry nickel concentrate, Nunavik has five holds with a combined grain capacity of 30,221 cubic metres.

[14] The icebreaking bulk carrier is powered by a single seven-cylinder MAN 7S70ME-C low-speed two-stroke crosshead diesel engine which produces 22,100 kW (29,600 hp).

[1] In order to reduce the environmental impact, the main engine fulfills the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier II requirements for nitrogen oxide emissions.
