Public description
Medium icebreakers give the Canadian Coast Guard regional icebreaking and maritime-support capacity. They help keep waterways open, support aids to navigation, assist shipping and enable government operations in difficult ice conditions. The class sits below the heavy icebreakers but remains important for routine ice-season coverage.
