RV Tarajoq is Greenland's flagship fisheries research vessel, operated by the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (Pinngortitaleriffik) on behalf of the Government of Greenland. This ice-strengthened vessel is used to survey fish stocks and map the seabed across Arctic waters. The name means "salt" and is an old Inuit word for the sea itself.

HDMS Ejnar Mikkelsen (P571) sits in Nuuk's harbour, a Knud Rasmussen-class Arctic offshore patrol vessel of the Royal Danish Navy, named after the Danish polar explorer.
