HPP acted as the legal counsel for the Finnish Transport Agency in connection with delivering the world’s first LNG-powered icebreaker. Arctech Helsinki Shipyard Inc delivered the icebreaker Polaris to the Finnish Transport Agency on 28 September 2016, whereafter the Finnish Transport Agency sold the vessel to Arctia Icebreaking Ltd, a subsidiary of the state-owned Arctia Ltd.
HPP advised the Finnish Transport Agency during the course of the entire project of acquiring the vessel, from the competitive tender process until the recent delivery.
