The MV Arctic was originally built as a public-private partnership venture between the Govt of Canada and Canadian shipping companies. Having fulfilled its original mandate of supporting resource development and as a test vessel for Arctic navigation, it has for many years been the world's most ice-capable ore/bulk/oil vessel. Now owned by Fednav International Ltd., the vessel transports nickel concentrates from Deception Bay, Labrador to Quebec City year-round for Falconbridge Limited.
It's very dangerous to stand this close to an ice breaker... it might form cracks among the ice you were standing and the worst case the ice under your feet might split due to adjacent ice movement caused by ice breaker...... and if you were standing at the wrong side, after the ice breaker is gone, you would have a VERY hard time to get back to the shore.....
The MV Arctic is an icebreaking cargo ship built in 1978 at the Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. The ship is owned and operated by the Fednav Group.
I am very happy to have taken a part in the design and supply of the electronics package on board.
One tip: RRRRRUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@youssefdahustler, the ship has 10.9 MW, but I'm not sure if it needs all of that for this.

That ship is designed to continuously break level ice up to 0.6 meters thick.

I hope they were standing on the right side of the ship, otherwise it could take a while before they can walk back to shore.
