In brief
CCGS Jean Goodwill is an icebreaking anchor handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) converted to a medium class icebreaker for the Canadian Coast Guard. She was originally built as Balder Viking for Trans Viking Icebreaking & Offshore AS in 2000. The vessel was sold to Canada in 2018 and was initially expected to enter service in late 2019 following a refit. However, due to delays the conversion of the vessel was not completed until November 2020.
CCGS Jean Goodwill has two sister vessels, CCGS Captain Molly Kool and CCGS Vincent Massey, both of which are converted offshore vessels.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 3,849 gross tons, Jean Goodwill is the 48,472nd largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 1.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,471 tugs held here, it ranks 31st by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 393 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 1,733 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (239 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, with 62 hulls on record.
Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which Jean Goodwill is the 184th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 25 tugs flying the Canada flag, of which none is larger than Jean Goodwill.
Jean Goodwill was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 780th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 76 vessels to Havyard Ship Technology, with a median tonnage of 2,807 GT, delivered between 1957 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 83.7 m overall, Jean Goodwill is 51.4 m longer than the 32.3 m median for tugs on record, with a beam of 18.0 m and a draft of 7.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9199634 this registry holds 48 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999 and which range from 1998 to 2019. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.
Its IMO number, 9199634, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 9×4 + 6×3 + 3×2 = 174 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
