Ice breaking vessels designed by ILS I LS has mainly worked in ice breaker and ice breaking vessel designs. One of the latest developments has been an ice breaking archipelago ferry to Åland Community. The vessel is designed mainly to Föglä traffic and is of a double ended ice breaking ferry type. The new ferry will have a length of 65.3m and breadth of 13m. The number of passengers is 250 maximum and the car deck has been designed for heavy vehicles and also for cars which also can be placed to hoistable car decks. The vessel shall be able to break ice so that the traffic year around is possible. The shipbuilding contract negotiations have been started with BLRT shipyard in Tallinn and the contract is expected to be signed still during January. The classification is Lloyds Register, The main engines are 2 x Wärtsilä 9L20 and the propulsion units 2 x Rolls Royce CP. The total power of the vessel is 2x1800 KW.

A major contracting services package was agreed with Hoegh Autoliners and Nam Trieu Shipbuilding Industry Corporation in Vietnam. A new approach is applied: full basic design package including class documents together with procurement handling is provided for the owner instead of the yard. The owner has full ownership of the design. Yard master plan and build strategy is provided for the yard together with full detail design and workshop drawings. This new prototype design car carrier PCTC of 7000 units is designed to high efficiency in overall configuration and internal ramp and deck arrangement. Hull form, propulsion system and superstructure are optimised with computer fluid dynamics (CFD) software and with extensive model tests. Survivability is designed to the new probabilistic damage stability rules and the full benefits of these rules have been utilised by optimising the subdivision and internal configuration. Environmental and safety features are specified to present and future rules and requirements. ■ 34 seatec 2007 evTec Professional Beverage Technology provides beverage dispense solutions to cruise vessels and ferries.
