Commercial ships or other persons or agencies requiring the assistance of Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers should first contact __________.
• Canadian Coast Guard icebreaking services structure • Who coordinates icebreaking assistance requests (operations vs individual ships) • Difference between local units and national/regional coordination centers
• Think about whether initial contact should be with a specific ship, a local office, or a central coordinating authority that manages all icebreaking resources. • Consider which option would most efficiently allocate icebreakers across a wide region, especially when multiple ships need help at once. • Ask yourself: who would have the best overall picture of ice conditions and available icebreakers, rather than just one local unit?
• Verify which choice represents a central coordination authority, not just a single vessel or local office. • Check which option would logically have regional or national responsibility for icebreaking assistance, rather than a narrow/local role. • Eliminate any option that sounds like an individual ship or a purely local facility rather than a service-wide operations center.
