Ice, fog, southeast winds delay Iqaluit AIVIK sealift by more than 5 days
Southeasterly winds are pushing ice into the bay, making it impossible for an icebreaker to escort cargo vessels towards Iqaluit. The forecast was bad enough to cause the rerouting of a vessel operated by Nunavut Eastern Arctic Shipping. Its ship, the 110-metre MV Aivik, was supposed to land in Iqaluit July 8 or July 9. It was then rescheduled until July 12, but that also changed. The Aivik will now sail for Cambridge Bay. After that, it will make its usual rounds and call at Iqaluit on its return voyage, but no arrival date has been set.
