Canadian Coast Guard launches Arctic icebreaking season

The Canadian Coast Guard’s annual icebreaking season is now underway, and will see eight vessels travelling to the country’s northernmost regions. (No one from the Coast Guard could be immediately be reached on Monday to see if that would change the vessel’s operations in Greenland.) CCG will also carry out joint training operations with national and international Arctic partners,” the Coast Guard said. “As schedules and opportunities permit, crews will engage in training and equipment familiarization with Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliaries, such as search and rescue and/or environmental response activities.
