in Singapore and, three in the Marshall Islands. The company currently has 11 new ships on order, of which, 5 will be owned, scheduled for delivery between 2019 and 2021. The total DWT of the owned and long-term chartered fleet is 3,306,724 DWT with an average age of 9 years. Many of the ships in the Fednav fleet are strengthened for navigation in ice. It operates in locations such as the Beaufort Sea and Bent Horn at latitude 76°77′ north. Most of its vessels have been classified with the Ice Class 1C* notation by Det Norske Veritas. This allows them to work in the Canadian Arctic with the assistance of icebreakers. Three vessels in the Fednav fleet, 1978-built , 2006-built , and 2014-built are fitted with icebreaker bows and have enough ice-strengthening and installed power to operate independently in Arctic ice conditions. In 2018, Fednav ordered a fourth icebreaking cargo vessel to eventually replace the MV Arctic. The Polar Class 4 ship is scheduled for delivery in 2020. The company is equipped to operate unescorted in Arctic waters year round, servicing Northern mines of nickel, zinc, lead, copper, and iron ore, among other things. Fednav vessels operating in the arctic are required to have specially trained ice advisors on board. Ice advisors advise the ship's master in issues such as minimizing ice accretion.
