These settlement ships carry supplies to the Greenlandic communities on the west coast as harbors there are open most of the year.
Information about the vessel may be found at IMO 8208737. A ship can change name and flag state through time, but the IMO number remains the same through the hull's entire lifetime. As a result, it can be useful to identify a ship by using the IMO number.
