Nordic Odin is a panamax bulk carrier owned by Nordic Bulk Carriers.
[1][2] She was built by Oshima Shipbuilding of Saikai, Japan.
She left Baffinland's Milne Port with a load of iron ore on August 12, 2015, bound for Gijon, Spain.
[1][2][5][6] The first vessel to carry iron ore from the Baffinland Mine was the slightly smaller Federal Tiber, which left four days earlier.
Federal Tiber sailed in ice-free conditions, but Nordic Odin did encounter sea ice.
