Tanker Kitikmeot W

Kitikmeot W nears completion of the last bunker C fuel delivery to the city of Iqaluit before the Arctic Ice Cap descends beyond the entrance to Frobisher Bay, sealing off the harbour until June the following year.

All the fuel necessary for aircraft flying in and out of Iqaluit, home heating, cars and snowmobiles, as well as power generation for the Community of 6000 must be provided by ship before freeze up.
