MMC is the Wisconsin shipyard that built the ship, with funding provided by NSF through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. UAF's School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences will operate the ship as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet.

The new vessel's name, Sikuliaq, pronounced \"see-KOO-lee-ack,\" is an Inupiat word meaning \"young sea ice.\" Construction work on the R/V Sikuliaq will continue throughout the winter. The ship is expected to arrive at its home port of Seward, Alaska, by January 2014.

For high definition b-roll of the ship and construction, please contact Dena Headlee at dheadlee@nsf.gov.

This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant numbers 0939812 and 1058367.
