Elomatic involved in the design of a new generation Estonian Icebreaker

Elomatic will participate in the work to design a new multipurpose icebreaker for the Estonian Maritime Administration. The work is done in cooperation with the main contractor, Aker Arctic Technology Inc. 

Elomatic is performing the basic design for interior, machinery and HVAC in cooperation with Aker Arctic. The new icebreaker will have an overall length of 108 metres and a breadth of 28 metres. It will have a capability to break 1.2 m thick level ice both forward and astern, as well as move smoothly through heavy ice ridges thanks to a novel stern design. It will be equipped for oil recovery and fire fighting.

The vessel is expected to enter service at the beginning of 2011.
