U.S. Coast Guard Closes In on Purchase of Icebreaker Aiviq
The U.S. Coast Guard is closing in on the purchase of the privately-owned icebreaker Aiviq, and has formally confirmed that the vessel will be homeported in Juneau.

During a tow in Gulf of Alaska weather conditions in December 2012, she encountered seas of 20-30 feet and lost power in all engines due to water in fuel contamination. An after-accident inquiry found that this was likely caused by immersion of the low-freeboard stern and seawater infiltration through tank vents. Her tow, a unique ice-class drill rig, ran aground and was ultimately scrapped, and Shell suspended its Arctic drilling ambitions.
