Three of them are at the dock in Denmark and the fourth has been on a trip to Canada since August 7, position data shows.

The ships will be able to function as rescue platforms at sea, among other things. According to the Rescue Council, a minimum requirement is that at least one such ship should be available in Greenland all year round.

It's about human lives. It's about the safety of Greenlanders in everyday life, when we send people out to sea, says Naaja Nathanielsen, member of parliament for the Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) party, to DR.

The Armed Forces have previously referred to having smaller ships on site.
