Nunavik is an icebreaking bulk carrier owned and operated by the Canadian shipping company Fednav. She is used to transport copper and nickel from the Nunavik Nickel Project, making 7–8 round trips per year.[3]

Nunavik is a sister ship to the 2006-built Umiak I.[2] In April 2018, Fednav ordered a third similar vessel, Arvik I, which was delivered in April 2021.[4]
