I have been involved with the ARCA since she was handed over by Mckeil to Shell in 2003 She will soon be replaced by a more modern and larger Vessel. The Arca has worked well with a small crew of local Canadian Seafarers. She will probably be sold on and traded in a less hostile climate. Winter in Montreal can be rough. She was converted to a double hull vessel and due to the majority of her life being in in FW she is a sound Vessel.
