Arctic Umiaq Line

Arctic Umiaq Line A/S (AUL), also known simply as Arctic Umiaq, is a passenger and freight shipping company operating in Greenland. The company's name is derived from the Kalaallisut word umiaq, which refers to the traditional Inuit passenger boat, distinct from the kayak, which was primarily used for hunting. Arctic Umiaq provides a vital maritime connection along the western and southwestern coasts of Greenland, facilitating transport, supply, and communication between coastal settlements. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Arctic Line.
