Right, TOO SMALL for ice was my 1st thought! But then I saw what this baby can do and I'm impressed...watch TH-cam video titled just "VIKINGEN" too! As an ice-tug operator myself, it's obvious her Captain is skilled at what he does and gentle on the boat but still what a great little tug...was shocked to see it has a hull (cut-back "knife" bow) almost identical to the famous old 1940s USCG 180' "WLB" tenders & 110' "WYTM" tugs we have on the Great Lakes for heavy ice work. I love this VIKINGEN!

Its so cute ,,, its like a real icebreaking tug , only in the distance .
Tough little boat!
Sounds lovely wide open, just a hint of turbo.
You use what you have!
riktigt kul att se :) och härligt att höra Scanian jobba :)
nice, but it could be heavier, break the ice easier.
yeah, but these are government funded, they should be better equipped.
SirLobsterman Nope, this one is a harbourtug. Not goverment funded
