The order is included in Valmet's first quarter 2017 orders received. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The delivery will take place in November 2017. The vessel will start to sail in 2018.

"This vessel tanker is a very powerful Arctic icebreaking tanker. Its automation system will control not only the machinery systems but also the complete cargo system. Also in this respect, the vessel will be very advanced," says Esko Mustamäki, CEO of Arctech Helsinki Shipyard Inc.

The vessel will be built to a strong ice class of Arc 7, and it can reliably break almost two-meter-thick ice.

Valmet's delivery for the Arctic icebreaking tanker includes a Valmet DNA automation system that will control not only the machinery systems but also the complete cargo system.
