Canada’s dry bulk shipping company Fednav has sent the 43-year old MV Arctic for green recycling in Turkey as it welcomes a Polar Class newbuilding in its place.
“The MV Arctic made its final voyage in April and is being recycled in Turkey following strict green recycling protocols,” Fednav said.
Meanwhile, the company has taken delivery of its latest Polar Class 4 icebreaking bulk carrier, the MV Arvik I, which will replace MV
Arctic.
