The CCGS Samue Risley breaks paths through the Thunder Bay Harbour Ice Which is up to 48 inches closer to shore so that the Freighters can get to the elevators for Cargo. The paths also allow the wind to speed up the dispersion of the Ice and speed the melting of the ice.
The design of the vessel is based on offshore supply-tugboat designs, with strengthened chines.[2] The vessel has a tall foredeck, and a long low quarterdeck, for carrying buoys, where a crane with a capability of lifting 15 long tons (15 t) is permanently mounted. The crane is motion stabilized.[3][4] Samuel Risley is 69.7 metres (228 ft 8 in) long overall with a beam of 13.7 metres (44 ft 11 in). The icebreaker has a draught of 5.2 metres (17 ft 1 in). Samuel Risley has a 1,967 gross tonnage (GT) and 649.5 net tonnage (NT).[3]
The ship is powered by four Wärtsilä Vasa 16V22 12-cylinder geared diesel-electric engines driving two controllable pitch propellers that create 6,595 kW (8,844 hp). This gives the vessel a maximum speed of 13 knots (24 km/h). The vessel has a capacity of 692 m3 (152,000 imp gal) of diesel fuel that gives Samuel Risley a range of 16,700 nautical miles (30,900 km) at 12 knots (22 km/h) and the vessel can stay at sea for up to 58 days. The ship is equipped with one General Motors 6–71 emergency generator.[3][5]
The vessel is equipped with two Racal Decca navigational radars using the I band.[5] Samuel Risley is a light icebreaker and has an ice class of Arctic Class 2, which certifies that the ship has the capability to break ice up to 2 feet (0.61 m) thick. The vessel has a complement of 22, with 9 officers and 13 crew.
