POLARIS

Baltic icebreaker Polaris, built in 2016, is the most powerful icebreaker ever to fly the Finnish flag and the first icebreaker in the world to feature environmentally friendly dual-fuel engines capable of using both low-sulfur marine diesel oil (LSMDO) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). It has excellent maneuverability due to the two Azipod units in stern and one in bow.
