Vessel Description

KIVIUQ 1 is a Canadian-flagged ice-capable offshore platform supply vessel designed and built for operations in Arctic and sub-Arctic environments. Constructed at Ulstein Verft in Norway in 2002, the vessel features a reinforced ice-class hull and dynamic positioning capability, making her well suited for support operations in remote Canadian Arctic offshore locations. She is equipped with azimuth thrusters providing enhanced maneuverability in confined and ice-laden waters. The vessel supports offshore energy and logistics operations in some of Canada's most challenging marine environments, including the Beaufort Sea and surrounding Arctic regions.
