[Dean Porter]

Just wondering wat is going on with the Pierre Radisson. She is not listed on the Coast Guard report, and the last report I seen she was listed as out of service.

Does anyone have ay news

Thanks
Dean

She was certainly active in the spring icebreaking season, working out of Trois-Rivieres. There is a $1.5 mn refit approved for the ship, with a general upgrade of systems, etc.,
Perhaps she is out of service while this takes place.

She is out of service; the six main engine are broken and she will not sail to the Arctic this summer.
She was sent to Trois-Rivi
