The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency invites new construction yards to a market dialogue regarding the construction of a new aid icebreaker. The construction of the icebreaker will be based on the concept design drawn up by Aker Arctic Oy, and the procurement of the construction yard as a negotiated procedure is expected to start in the first quarter of 2026. The object of the construction is a B-class icebreaker with a hull length of approximately 90 metres, a rule length of less than 85 metres and a width of 23.7 metres. The propulsion power of the vessel will be approximately 10,500 kW. The main information on the assistance icebreaker to be built for two different concept solutions is presented in Annexes 1 and 2. The concepts differ in terms of propulsion. The purpose of the market dialogue is to tell about the future procurement of the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and to increase the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency's understanding of the market situation and potential bidders, as well as to help the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency in the preparation of tendering material. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency does not undertake, by means of a market dialogue, to initiate a tendering procedure for shipyards or any specific conditions or form of a possible tendering procedure for shipyards. All information provided as part of the market dialogue on the subject matter and timing of the procurement is provisional and subject to change. Participation in the market dialogue is voluntary and non-binding. Participation in a market dialogue is not a condition for participation in a possible tendering procedure for shipyards. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency does not reimburse the costs of participating in the market dialogue.

The meetings are scheduled for weeks 43 and 44. As a rule, meetings are held at the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency's premises in Helsinki (address: Opastinsilta 12 A). A designer's representative will attend the first part of the meeting, during which technical issues related to the concept will be discussed. At the end of the meeting, matters related to the contract are discussed without the designer's representative. In a meeting held at the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency's premises, it is possible to examine the overall organisation picture of the concept, provided that the participants sign a non-disclosure agreement with the designer. If necessary, the meeting can also be arranged remotely via Teams, in which case the general arrangement picture cannot be displayed.
