in global markets
The Finnish Marine Industries cluster is facing new challenges. The
main employers of its subcontractors – the major-league domestic

Breaking the Ice
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.
