Only Kontio and Otso operated in assistance tasks in the Bay of Bothnia. Arctia’s conventional icebreakers were maintained in Helsinki and the multipurpose MODERN HARBOUR ICEBREAKING icebreakers in Rauma. The escort towing trial of harbour ice- breaker Ahto was successfully completed in the open water season in 2015. The vessel performed superbly as an escort tug and THREE SHIPS ABROAD met all expectations set for it. The Baltic winter only required the services of two Finnish icebreakers, while three vessels operated elsewhere in the summer. Nordica and Fennica worked in Alaska, while Otso operated in the waters of Greenland. STEADY PERFORMANCE Arctia’s turnover improved slightly from 2014.

Steering and Monitoring Model of State-Owned Enterprises Introduction Privatisation of stated-owned enterprises (SOEs) gained considerable momentum in developing and developed countries in the 1980s and 1990s (The World Bank, 2006, p. 3). Despite wide-ranging privatisation programmes, SOEs are still and will be an important part of many economies, especially in developing economies (La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, & Shleifer, 1999; Ezzamel, Wilmott, & Worthington, 2008; Vagliasindi, 2008; Ennser-Jedenastik, 2013).
