It’s now official: The U.S. Coast Guard has just announced that it will base its newest icebreaker in Alaska’s capital city. The commercial icebreaker called the Aiviq will be homeported in Juneau. Originally built for oil exploration in the Arctic the vessel requires some upgrades to meet the Coast Guard’s needs. U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan helped secure the federal funding needed to purchase the Aiviq earlier this year.
