Aker Arctic Technology - new ice laboratory for cold-climate projects

摘要

Aker Arctic Technology Inc (AARC), established a year ago by Aker, together with minority shareholders Waertsilae, ABB Oy, and Norwegian Aker Kvaerner Engineering & Technology, has built a new model testing facility in the revitalised Vuosaari port area in Helsinki. This is specially designed to perfect ice-going ships and offshore structures, and to model offshore operations in cold regions. AARC continues the work of Masa Arctic Technology Centre (MARC) in offering services related to developing ships and structures for operation in ice, together with marine engineering, design, and consulting work, as well as model and full-scale testing in ice.
