Earlier today, The White House announced that the United States, Canada and Finland inked a trilateral agreement, ICE Pact, to strengthen the polar capabilities of the US and our NATO allies. Bollinger Shipyards, as the premiere builder of polar icebreakers in the US, will play a critical role and lend our expertise and capacity to construct a fleet of American-made, state-of-the-art ice breakers to counter the growing presence of our adversaries and strategic competitors in the Arctic region.
Good news: ....go heavy-displacement, "dual-or, not and" combination-drive, multi-mission commercial home-designed/built configurations :
This is Great News! We're excited to supply Vanstone Flanging equipment that will be used on this program
This is exciting news and another great accomplishment by the Bollinger team and for our Great/ awesome/ best place to live Louisiana!!!! I have nothing but the best to say about working with your team and my fav Mona A.…..
Keep us updated
Thanks for sharing
Amazing news!
Good read!
Great stuff! Best wishes

1moI suspect this is a breath of fresh air to the folks close to the construction process. I also suspect the greatest surprise will be that the success of Finland’s icebreaker design capability comes not from some complex and magic realm of previously unrevealed analytical technique, but rather on a strict and simple focus on the basic principles of well published design processes, uncontaminated by spurious novel visions or multiple competing techniques. We may yet see that the solution to complex ship design lies not in expending enormous neural energy chasing ephemeral issues, but in just following a well proven path that was there all the time.
