SCF Sakhalin

Helsinki Shipyard won contract for icebreaking supply vessel to serve Sakhalin 1, Orlan field in 2003. The requirements for the vessel operations and performance in harsh surroundings like drifting icefields or ice-ridges frosen to bottom (till 15…20m) were extremely tough. The design of Helsinki Shipyard was very successful in utilising the DAS-concept to overcome these challenges and SCF Sakhalin become one of the most sophisticated and versatile ships ever built for arctic operations.This vessels was the first on to be built without own steel manufacturing. The outfitted blocks came from Turku block factory and the hull assembly and final outfitting was done in Helsinki. The vessel was delivered in 2005.
