The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is conducting market research for potential qualified contractors for the dry docking of the Icebreaker CGC POLAR SEA during our 2024 fiscal year that runs from 01 Oct 2023 to 31 Sept 2024.

The CGC POLAR SEA is homeported in Seattle, WA at 1519 Alaskan Way S., Seattle, WA 98134. The CGC POLAR SEA is 399 feet long, 84 feet wide. At current loading condition POLAR SEA has a draft of 24 feet and weighs approximately 8500 long tons. At full load POLAR SEA has a draft 31 feet and weights of 12,850 long tons.
