Such icebreaker could be deployed to the Bothnian Bay in the beginning of the icebreaking season when icebreaker assistance is required primarily by smaller commercial vessels.
The engines will be employed as GenSets for power generation aboard the purpose-built CO2 carrier, which will be employed in the offshore, substrate storage of CO2.
This marks the first time a heavy polar icebreaker has been built in Canada in more than 60 years, and it will play a critical role in protecting our sovereignty for decades to come.
VARD has signed a contract with the Taiwanese based company Dong Fang Offshore for the design and construction of one Offshore Subsea Construction Vessel, with option(s).
This vessel will be a Malacca max next-generation environment-friendly VLCC that NYK has been designing with Idemitsu Tanker, IINO Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd., and Nippon Shipyard.
The design concept was developed as part of a project exploring the conversion of Tsuneishi's Kamsarmax bulk carrier standard design to a methanol dual fuel configuration.
