Description

According to the Act on the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (936/2018), one of the tasks of the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency is to ensure the prerequisites for winter navigation and, according to the Act on the Ice Classification of Ships and Icebreaker Grants (1121/2005), the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency’s task is to order icebreaking services necessary for the entire national territory, applying the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016). Agreements between the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and service providers on the use of eight icebreakers for icebreaking in Finnish sea areas will end before the beginning of the icebreaking season in 2025–2026. By means of a treaty with Sweden, Finland is committed to having at least four Class A icebreakers and one Class B icebreaker available for icebreaking in the Gulf of Bothnia and the Sea of Åland. In addition to these, other equipment is also needed to maintain an adequate level of service throughout Finland's sea area. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency will put out to tender for three-year contract periods the provision of icebreaking services with seven class A icebreakers, two class B icebreakers and one class C icebreaker. There will be a separate tendering process for each icebreaker class. The agreements include the possibility of a one-year, two-year or three-year option period. During the contract period, the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency may put out to tender new contracts that may have an impact on the utilisation rate of the icebreakers currently being put out to tender. This contract concerns seven Class A icebreakers. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency will procure icebreaking services with seven Class A icebreakers for the contract period 1.10.2025-15.6.2028. In addition, the contract includes a one-year, two-year or three-year option at the subscriber's discretion, the use of which is notified by the subscriber no later than twelve (12) months before the end of the contract period. The readiness periods for the icebreakers included in the agreement are: - 15 December to 31 May (168 days): two icebreakers; - 15 December to 30 April (137 days): two icebreakers; - 1 January to 15 April (105 days): two icebreakers; and - 15 January to 15 April (91 days): One icebreaker. The customer places icebreakers for operation during the readiness period as necessary and at its discretion. The tenderer may offer between 1 and 7 icebreakers. For each icebreaker offered, daily prices for readiness and operation shall be offered for all four readiness periods, i.e. 168, 137, 105 and 91 days.
