Commenting on the start of production, Arctech Helsinki Shipyard managing director Esko Mustamäki said: “We are excited to continue the co-operation with Sovcomflot and build this ice-breaking supply vessel as the first unit of total four contracted vessels.

“The environmentally advanced vessel will increase both the oil spill response, as well as the emergency evacuation capacity when operating in the harsh climatic area of Sakhalin.”

“The vessel is designed for emergency evacuation, rescue and firefighting operations, oil spill response and the platform support activities.”

Delivery of the vessel is expected to take place in June 2016.

The 100m-long and 21m-wide vessel will be capable of carrying cargo on deck, bulk cargo underdeck and platform crew as passengers in all weather and ice conditions.
