About Kigoriak
Kigoriak (Russian: Кигориак) was a Canadian and later Russian icebreaking anchor handling tug supply vessel. Built by Saint John Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company for Canadian Marine Drilling (Canmar) in 1979 as Canmar Kigoriak, she was the first commercial icebreaking vessel developed to support offshore oil exploration in the Beaufort Sea. When Canmar's icebreaker fleet was sold in 1997, the vessel's name was shortened to Kigoria and she was reflagged to Liberia. For the next six years, International Transport Contractors used the icebreaker mainly for ocean towage and salvage operations in the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel changed hands again in 2003 when she was sold to her current owner, FEMCO Group, and renamed first Talagy (Russian: Талаги) and, in 2010, Kigoriak. After more than four decades of service, Kigoriak was sold for scrap in January 2022.
