An unusual amount of ice made Arctic shipping more difficult than usual this year
I found this nugget in an article entitled “Iced-in cargo ship makes it to Resolute Bay after 4 day delay.” An unusual amount of ice and a swamped coast guard made Arctic shipping more difficult than usual this year, according to Waguih Rayes, general manager of Desgagnés Transarctik Inc, which oversees several Arctic ships as the managing partner for Nunavut Sealink and Supply Inc, Back on September 6th, Rayes said that Canadian Coast Guard representatives had told him that it is “busy everywhere… [and] they don’t have enough boats to provide the level of service required.” “The thickness and concentration of ice is worse than we have ever seen since we started servicing the communities [in 2008]” Rayes said. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/cargo-ship-ice-resolute-1.4812293 Thanks to Kingbum for this link The post An unusual amount of ice made Arctic shipping more difficult than usual this year appeared first on Ice Age Now.
