Woodward’s MT Kitikmeot W fuel tanker sits in the Iqaluit deepsea port in December. The port also was used by the MT Qikiqtaaluk W. that same month. On Sept. 9, the Iqaluit deepsea port was granted substantial completion status, meaning it is ready for use and will be fully operational for this year’s upcoming sealift season, said GN spokesperson Weichien Chan in an email Friday. “We are currently working with stakeholders to finalize the operations plan, which we expect to be in place well before the first ship arrives,” Chan said. Sealift operations were not relocated to the new port after substantial completion in 2022, as it “would have caused a major disruption to sealift operations” forcing carriers NEAS and NSSI to relocate their sheds, equipment and operational tools to the port in the midst of sealift season, Chan said.
