FINLAND’S ARCTIC SNOW-HOW
Finnish companies have designed 80% of the world’s icebreakers and 60% of them are built by Finnish shipyards. Finland is a global leader in icebreaker design, shipbuilding for Arctic conditions, technology for ice conditions, and maritime fleet operation.
Finland is the only nation in the world with a solid, cost- effective icebreaking value chain. The value chain links together Finland’s top universities, research institutions, and public institutions with the globally recognized Finnish companies and shipyards. The value chain covers R&D, education, ship design, engineering, shipbuilding, operations, program management, and life-cycle support services.
Finnish icebreaker innovations are used worldwide. Partnering with Finland means that the customer will benefit from the latest research and technological advances. It will also ensure that production and technology risks are managed effectively and that the highest quality standards are met.
FINLAND IS THE #1 COUNTRY IN ARCTIC SHIPBUILDING, DESIGN, AND SHIPPING
