ARCTECH HELSINKI PROVES ITS METTLE WITH
A DUO OF ARCTIC-PROOF SUPPLY SHIPS
During the first 30 months of its existence, Arctech Helsinki Shipyard has
already made a name for itself as an arctic expert. The biggest reference to
date is the duo of icebreaking supply vessels ordered by Sovcomflot. The first
vessel of the series, Vitus Bering was delivered to the client in December 2012.
The sister ship, Aleksey Chirikov, was delivered to client Sovcomflot on Friday
19 April 2013. Like Vitus Bering, this vessel will travel all the way to Sakhalin
area in Far East Russia, where it will supply the Arkutun-Dagi oil and gas field.
