First icebreaking bulk freighter Arctic christened in Ontario
The Arctic, a 28 000 ton bulk freighter with icebreaking capability, was christened by Madame Jules Leger at Welland canal dry docks. Owned 51 percent by the federal government, it serves as a prototype for future ships with five times the ice strength. It will sail to Toledo next week to load grains for Europe then to Nanavik Mines for zinc lead before delivery to Antwerp and Rotterdam.
