Commercial fishing trawler, POLAR UUMMANNAQ – IMO 8811302, unloading shrimp at the Royal Arctic fishing dock in Nuuk, Greenland on September 17, 2017.

While this fishing trawler is still painted in the colors of Polar Seafood, “POLAR” in the name has been painted over and the Greenland fishing registry number has changed to “GR 7-159”.

The ship name “UUMMANNAQ” probably takes its origins from the Greenlandic town of Uummannaq, a fishing port and northern most ferry stop in Greenland. The town is located 590 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle on the western coast of Greenland. The town of Uummannaq is beside Uummannaq Mountain on Uummannaq Island in Uummannaq Fjord. – Wikipedia.com
