When asked to make Canadaʼs Polar Icebreaker capable of year-round
operations in one of the worldʼs most extreme environments, we rose
to the challenge — and so did the Polar Icebreaker. Upgraded to operate
in the high Arctic year-round, it will now handle temperatures as low as
-50°C, a significant drop from the original -35°C spec. This isnʼt just
about breaking ice; itʼs about breaking boundaries. With these
enhancements, Canada can assert its presence in the Arctic like never
before. Built to support the Canadian Coast Guard and strengthen our
nationʼs security and scientific capabilities, the ship is a high-water mark
for Canada and our shipbuilding industry. Weʼre proving no matter
how demanding the challenge, weʼll always stay flexible.
Driving Improvement.
-50°C DOESN'T SLOW US DOWN.
IT DRIVES US FORWARD.
