The new Chilean-built “Almirante Viel” icebreaker completed her first week of sea testing on Friday, it was reported in Santiago. The new unit, built at the Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada (Asmar) shipyard in Talcahuano is scheduled to be launched on Dec. 22 to replace the old vessel of the same name (AP-46) that operated between Jan. 14, 1995, and Feb. 11, 2019. Built at the Vickers-Armstrong shipyard in Montreal, Canada, in 1969, the old icebreaker had served the Canadian Coast Guard under the name Norman McLeod Rogers before joining the Chilean Navy.
