The concept design of the new B+ class icebreaker “Aino” is underway, supported by extensive model-scale testing to ensure it meets demanding Baltic Sea conditions for the next 50 years.
With future-proof propulsion options, methanol-ready power systems, and superior manoeuvrability in thick brash ice, the design represents a leap forward in cost-efficient, environmentally sustainable icebreaking.
