We warmly welcome you to celebrate the successful Russian-Finnish cooperation and the completing of SET Group’s Commitment for the Baltic Sea. The new icebreaking multipurpose emergency and rescue vessel Baltika is introduced to our partners and stakeholders April 9, 2014 at 15.00 — 17.00 at the Arctech Helsinki Shipyard, Laivakatu 1, Helsinki.
Baltika represents a completely new type of innovative technology. She has an asymmetric hull, patented oblique design and three 360 degrees rotating propulsors, which allow the vessel to operate efficiently side- ways, astern and ahead. The design of the vessel is based on ARC 100 concept, which has been developed by Aker Arctic Technology for Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. Baltika will be operated in the Gulf of Finland and will consid- erably improve the ice breaking and oil combat capabilities on the open sea in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea.
The speakers of the event are:
- Matti Vanhanen, Chairman of Gulf of Finland Year 2014 Network, Executive Director of the Finnish Family Firms Association
