The Maersk Peary is an tanker, operated by the shipping firm Maersk Lines, that was designed for working in the polar regions.[1] She was built in 2004. In 2011 Maersk won a long term contract to supply Thule AFB, in Greenland and McMurdo Station, in Antarctica, and the Maersk Peary was reflagged as an American vessel, sailing with an American crew. The vessel was then leased to the United States Naval Sealift.
