Finns crews know how to operate icebreakers

As geopolitical competition in the northern polar region accelerates, climate change is inevitably affecting the Arctic. Sailors from Finnish icebreaker shipping company Arctia Ltd know the weakening of ice does not reduce the need for icebreakers but on the contrary, increases it.

Over the next ten years, the United States together with its allied countries will need between 70 and 90 icebreakers. Both the United States and Canada are currently looking for suitable partners and shipyards for the building of icebreakers.
