Icebreaking capacity additional to the treaty obligations is needed to ensure a proper service level for the whole Finnish sea area. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency called for tenders for three-year contract periods for seven class A icebreakers, two class B icebreakers and one class C icebreaker. The tendering period ended on 28 March 2025 and tenders were received for all but one class B icebreaker. This procurement includes one class B icebreaker. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency procures icebreaking service with one class B icebreaker for a period of 1 October 2025 to 30 November 2026.
