About the USCGC Healy

HEALY is a US Coast Guard cutter and polar icebreaker designed to conduct a wide range of research activities in the unforgiving conditions of Arctic waters. She can break 4 ½ feet of ice continuously at three knots and can operate in temperatures as low as -50 F.

The science community provided invaluable input on lab layouts and science capabilities during design and construction of the ship.

HEALY features more than 4,200 square feet of scientific laboratory space, numerous electronic sensor systems, oceanographic winches, and accommodations for up to 50 scientists.
