Cargo handling in northern ports is hampered by the combination of hostile terrain, lack of facilities, and/or infrastructure. Recent experience with Watercraft's Arktos amphibious vehicle has proven its ability to perform in Arctic conditions.

The barge is designed to carry a 12.5 t payload and be able to traverse a variety of terrains such as ice, water, and ice/water interfaces. Model tests were conducted to determine basic stability, acceptable seakeeping characteristics, and land manoeuvrability.
