Mangystau-2

the Mangystau-2 is a light icebreaker. Until November 2021 it was part of the fleet of Atlantic Towing Limited, a firm with headquarters in New Brunswick, but with vessels operating around the world. The Mangystau-2 was last in Hazar, Turkmenistan, on the Caspian Sea.

In November she was purchased by the Government of Canada, to join its fleet of icebreakers. Upon some conversion work she is scheduled to join the Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers CCGS Samuel Risley and CCGS Griffon on the Great Lakes.

The Coast Guard recently three medium icebreakers, and added them to its aging fleet.
