The 2021 marine resupply season has kicked-off in the NWT.
The MV Kelly Ovayuak left the Hay River marine terminal on Monday, July 5th, towing seven barges with a total of 6,261 tonnes of cargo and petroleum products.
The GWNT says this is the first of seven sailings planned from the Hay River terminal this season.
