This Summer has seen Tug’s pulling Barge loads of equipment for the New Voisy’s Bay  hydromet plant under construction in Long Harbour. When the Plant is completed, the Umiak 1 will begin regular calls in Halifax.

Umiak 1 is a purpose built Ice Class bulk carrier that carries supplies to the Mine, and on the return trip returns with nickel concentrate. I suspect the concintrate will go from the mine, to Long Harbour, then completed product from Long Harbour to Halifax.
