The park is a significant investment in the future for the city of Rauma. After five years running, the area houses around 30 companies col- laborating with each other. Their location in the indus- trial park gives them a competitive edge and promotes networking. Between the years 2014 and 2016 the Business Ser- vices of the City of Rauma ran the Rauma subproject of Turku Seas 2020 project which was part of the Meri programme by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. The aim of the project was to develop the operative environment of the companies belonging to the maritime cluster in Rauma, promote networking among these companies and support their marketing efforts. The first catalogue of maritime cluster companies in Rauma was compiled as part of the Turku Seas 2020 subproject. The current, updated version has been put together by Rauma City Development. The need for this catalogue was generated by the changes in the marine industry’s operational environment that call for effective marketing and constant presentation of expertise and client references by the companies.

At the same time, there is strong demand for high ice-class cargo ships in the High Arctic but, unfortu- nately, some of these new vessels are so enormous that the facilities in Helsinki are not large enough.

  • Polaris' Unique Concept Shines in Ice Trials
    Aker Arctic Technology Inc Newsletter September 2017 Polaris’ unique concept shines in ice trials The world's first LNG fuelled icebreaker,Polaris , was officially tested in full-scale ice trials towards the end of her first icebreaking season, in March, in the Bay of Bothnia. A team of four experts from Aker Arctic: Topi Leiviskä, Toni Skogström, Tuomas Romu and Juha Alas oini, joined the vessel for five days to supervise the trials. The purpose of the ice trials was to ensure that thePolaris fulfils all design requirements. “On the first day, after we left from the port of Oulu, we went looking for a demanding ridge field,” explains Head of Research and Testing Services Topi Leiviskä. “We found one ridge that we measured to be 10 metres thick and 95 metres wide, whichPolaris penetrated easily going forward.” The other ridge found, was measured Polaris is able to turn 180° on the spot in ice in one minute to be 13.6 metres thick and 50 metres and 15 seconds.

  • Simulation-Based Assessment of the Operational Performance of the Finnish–Swedish Winter Navigation System
    applied sciences Article Simulation-Based Assessment of the Operational Performance of the Finnish–Swedish Winter Navigation System Martin Bergström * and Pentti Kujala Department of Mechanical Engineering, Aalto University, FI-00076 Aalto, Finland; pentti.kujala@aalto.fi * Correspondence: martin.bergstrom@aalto.fi; Tel.: +358-50-476-7229 Received: 15 August 2020; Accepted: 24 September 2020; Published: 27 September 2020 Abstract: This article presents a discrete event simulation-based approach for assessing the operating performance of the Finnish–Swedish Winter Navigation System (FSWNS) under different operating scenarios. Different operating scenarios are specified in terms of ice conditions, the volume of maritime traffic, number of icebreakers (IBs), and regulations such as the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). Considered performance indicators include transport capacity, number of instances of icebreaker (IB) assistance, and IB waiting times. The approach is validated against real-world data on maritime traffic in the Bothnian Bay. In terms of the number of ship arrivals per port, indicating the transport capacity of the FSWNS, the simulation agrees well with the data. In terms of the number of instances of IB assistance and IB waiting times per port, the standard deviations between the mean of 35 independent simulation runs and the data are 13% and 18%, respectively. A sensitivity analysis indicates that the simulated number of instances of IB assistance and IB waiting times is particularly sensitive to assumptions concerning the presence of brash ice channels. Case studies indicate that, unless the number of IBs is increased, the EEDI regulations may result in a significant increase in both the number of instances of IB assistance and the cumulated IB waiting times.

Aware of this strategic issue, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), supported by the Arctic coastal states, adopted the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code) with a set of navigation tools including the well-known Polar Operational Limit Assessment Risk Indexing System (POLARIS). Designed for assessing operational capabilities for ships operating in ice, POLARIS is useful for various stakeholders such as the International Association of Classification Society (IACS) organizations and underwriters. Other important beneficiaries are shipowners and their crew. Even though POLARIS deals with topical issues, so far, this system has not been subjected to extensive studies of its capabilities and limitations. The aim of this analysis in hand is to assess the stakes, benefits and limits of POLARIS for Arctic navigation with a managerial approach and through the lens of risk assessment. Results show that POLARIS integrates various parameters to assess risk of navigation in ice, and that POLARIS can provide relevant managerial solutions to shipowners.

Hur ser framtiden ut för de finska och svenska isbrytarna med tanke på klimatförändringen och i och med att de hårda isvintrarna blivit mindre vanliga än vad de var på t.ex 80-talet. Jag har använt mig av litteraturstudier och intervjuer med sakkunniga både från Finland och Sverige. Finland och Sverige har ett välfungerande samarbete vilket syns tydligt då de arbetar med att ta fram en ny gemensam design för nästa generationens isbrytare. Detta tyder på att vi fortsättningsvis kommer att ha isbrytare i våra vatten, samt andra faktorer som jag beskriver i detta arbete.
