NACC Quebec
From WikiAlpha
The NACC Quebec is a freighter specially equipped to ship raw cement.[1] Like other similar ships she is relatively small, as her duties require bringing or taking cargo from smaller ports.
She is operated by a consortium of Nova Marine Holdings and Algoma Central, along with three fleetmates, the NACC Alicudi, NACC Capri and NACC Argonaut.[2] Her prefix, "NACC", is short for "Nova Algoma Cement Carrier"
