Aker Arctic has been developing the propulsion line in co-operation with the Finnish Defence Forces since 2015. The contract includes the design, delivery and integration of complete propulsion lines to four Pohjanmaa-class multi-role corvettes for the Finnish Navy for service in the area of the Baltic Sea. Aker Arctic has completed the delivery of shaftlines, including controllable pitch propellers, bearings, shaft seals, and the shaft torque monitoring system, for the first vessel.
The delivery of shaftlines and propellers for the Finnish Navy’s first Pohjanmaa-class multirole Corvette was successfully completed at the end of 2024. The construction of Pohjanmaa-class multirole Corvettes under the Finnish Navy’s Squadron 2020-project is progressing at Rauma Marine Construction’s shipyard.
Initial operational capability of the first Corvette will be reached in 2027, and full operational capability as Squadron, in 2029.
