Argentine naval icebreaker repairs near completion

摘要

The Argentine naval icebreaker ARA Almirante Irizar (Q-5) is expected to return to Antarctic service for the 2016-17 season, almost a decade after it was severely damaged by a fire at sea. While no date has been scheduled for the handover of the 14,900-tonne ship, "it will probably be ready for December 2016", a navy spokesperson told IHS Jane's.
