Nanisivik Naval Facility, Naval facility in Nunavut, Canada
The Nanisivik Naval Facility operates on Baffin Island with two large fuel tanks connected to the jetty through a pipeline system.
The facility was constructed in 2015 on the site of a former lead-zinc mine that operated from 1974 until its closure in 2002.
The facility maintains connections with local Inuit populations while supporting Canadian military operations in the northern territorial waters.
The installation functions as a refueling station for Royal Canadian Navy vessels, supporting Arctic patrol ships during summer navigation periods.
The facility operates only four weeks per year due to Arctic climate conditions, with specific engineering adaptations for fuel storage in extreme temperatures.
