Fednav sends nickel through the Northwest Passage
On Sept. 19 the MV Nunavik embarked on a historic 29-day journey from Deception Bay in Quebec’s far north to deliver 21,000 tonnes of nickel concentrate to Bayuquan, in China’s Liaoning province. The voyage is the first unescorted commercial trip through the Northwest Passage, according to Montreal-based shipping firm Fednav, which owns the 31,700-tonne icebreaker. –
