Congratulations @BollingerShip and @RMCFinland for finalizing the ASC contracts! 🥳
@USCG finalized 2 contracts for construction & delivery of 6 Arctic Security Cutters (ASCs), a new class of polar icebreakers that will strengthen America’s position in the Arctic. The contracts are awarded to Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C. for four ASCs, valued at
@niklas_granholm Oh, now I also found the link at the bottom of the page.
The Swedish Maritime Administration has prepared a report that outlines the upcoming renewal of the Swedish #icebreaker fleet. 👇 (📷 Luleafotograferna/CC BY-SA)
@niklas_granholm According to SMA it has already been submitted to the Swedish government. I don't know when, if ever, it will become public.
"This [Railotech] is where you come if you want to understand what an #icebreaker is."
Trump wants to rebuild US shipbuilding. First, he needs Finland, the world's icebreaker powerhouse bloomberg.com/news/features/…

2037 — Service life extension of Idun. Beyond 2037 — Decommissioning of the third Atle-class icebreaker. 👇 (📷 Lars Falkdalen Lindahl/CC BY-SA)
The Finnish car magazine @Moottori visited the Turku Repair Yard to take a peek under the Finnish #icebreaker Polaris which is based on our #ARC130 design. Check out few photos of the freshly-coated #icebreaking hull in their article. moottori.fi/uutinen/suomen…
Japan's new research #icebreaker, Mirai II, is nearing completion. It's currently on sea trials on the eastern side of Izu Ōshima. It will replace the 1997-built Mirai that certainly has one of the more interesting origin stories in shipbuilding...
In 2021, we evaluated three alternative propulsion layouts: triple-screw single-azimuth/twin-shaft hybrid (the original 2012 design), twin-screw all-azimuthing (similar to Le Commandant Charcot), and triple-screw twin-azimuth/single-shaft hybrid (which was finally selected).
In our latest #ArcticPassion News article, we recap the development of @CoastGuardCAN's new heavy polar #icebreaker that is currently under construction at @Seaspan Vancouver shipyards. railotech.fi/article/design…
@CDNPolicyHawk CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent visited the North Pole with the Swedish icebreaker Oden last year: polar.se/en/news/2025/o… According to @scottpolar, this summer's visit will be the fifth: spri.cam.ac.uk/resources/info… There's also other interesting trivia in that list.
🤔
Looks like "Das Beast" is on the move after years of (apparent) lay-up in China. The ship, originally built as Mastera, was reportedly sold for scrap in 2022 but later engaged in AIS spoofing while transporting sanctioned Russian crude oil. (AIS data via @VesselFinder)

The construction of the first @USCG #ArcticSecurityCutter ordered from @chantierdavie @HelsinkiYard began today 🥳 helsinkishipyard.fi/pori-based-sat…
Although Russian shipbuilding media reports Zvezda having over 50 ships in its orderbook and over 20 under construction, the reality is that most projects are years behind schedule and few seem to have stalled completely. (excerpts from the shipyard's Wikipedia article)
