Umiak I is the most powerful, highest-rated ice-breaking bulk carrier in the world. Her muscular engine is the biggest in Canada. Not just the biggest on any ship, but the biggest, period. It can drive this ship through ice conditions that would send other vessels back home. Umiak I can crush sheets of ice almost 2 metres thick, and her bow can ram through ridges up to 10 metres high.
