Icebreakers do have toughened hulls - the amount depends on what "Ice Class" is required. Also, icebreakers have a design of bow that enables the ship to rise up on to the ice thereby breaking it by weight of the ship. Thanks for your interest.
@MrManny7426 Thanks for that. Ice is not just frozen water. The Baltic and Gulf of Bothnia freeze each year so the ice is known as "fresh ice". Further up in the arctic circle the ice is much older and consequently much harder requiring ships of increasing "ice class" in order to navigate. As with many things, it is much more complicated than first seen. I only made a simple film but found out a few things tho. Best wishes. AH
HI That year we filmed on an oil tanker that became icebound enroute to Primorsk - an oil terminal town in the east Baltic. The Russians would not allow us aboard their icebreaker so we asked the Finns who said OK. But as there was no ice in the Helsinki area we took a train to Oulu (I think) and boarded the Otso. The Captain, whose name I have misspelled, retired and his colleagues asked for a DVD copy of this film as a retirement present.
Hello, Not sure what you mean. Slob ice is slush ice and not solid. In winter the Finnish icebreakers prevent the sea lanes from freezing over often after each freezing night. This allows low ice class vessels to navigate safely. If you want icebreakers breaking thicker ice please look at some Russian vessels in the polar regions.
I thought I'd replied to you but can't see it. But I see somone else has. The bow of an icebreaker is shaped so that it rises over the ice and allows the weight on the ship to crack it and allow the vessel to pass through. Non- ice breaker ships that sail in ice prone waters are given an ICE CLASS dependent on the strength of the hull at water level. Thanks for your interest.
It's not just the Baltic where the ice is getting thinner. In the Canadian north, in the channels between the islands where the ice was very thick and could last all or most of the year, ice breakers are having a much easier time creating passageways. This is creating a longer shipping season during both spring and autumn. This is also increasing the global warming as there is much less reflection of the sun's rays away from the earth.
Hello, Yes, so that ports in ice zones can remain open. However, ships need an ice class qualification governed by the additional strengthening of their hull. Thanks for your interest. AH
Icebreakers were needed 2011-2012 despite of it being an unusually warm winter and 2010-2011 was an somewhat normal winter. The need for icebreakers in the Arctic is currently just increasing as the Northwest Passage is becoming an optional waterway and the commercial exploitation of the Arctic region is about to start. One of our icebreakers is currently operating in Alaska. Its still going to take a long time before there is no need for icebreakers.
Hi, No she not nuclear powered, just diesel. The other ship is not being towed, she is under her own power but the ice breaker is making a path for her through the ice. Nevertheless, the otso is a powerful vessel. Google Otso and read more. Thanks for the interest. AH
Thanks for posting this video, I was just reading in the news about all these ships stuck in the Baltic Sea at the moment. Reading the article made me want to see an ice breaker in action and your video was awesome :-)
@Theandyhumphreys I work on trawlers in the Bering Sea and it's pretty rare to see a vessel that is as good looking as this one. Before I left in September there was an oil rig that was being towed into Dutch Harbor by the Tor Viking II. I was infatuated with how much horsepower it had and I'm always curious of how other vessels are powered whether by diesels or turbines. Very cool video.
Yes, it is a shipping channel - like a road across the ice- the icebreakers keep them open - no big deal - but they also make new ones and that's when a ship needs ice class construction. Thanks for the interest.
I do not know the size of the cylinders on Otso but she is diesel electric. For further info I suggest you contact the Finnish Maritime Administration. Thanks for the interest.
Those ships are a lot more stylish than the swedish ones, not mentioned any about efficency or so, just. style, painted nice and nice shapes. :) good job!
+Andy Humphreys Wagner music works everywhere, even without nazi sympathies! As aFinnish navy reserve leutenant, this shows some naval power in this Nordic Pond called Itämeri.
+Petrus Invictus I thought a lieutenant would know that the icebreakers are not in the Finnish Navy and are not a part of our immense naval power. Yes, in WWII they were, but not since. In Sweden they were nominally so I think well into the 1990s.
That is the equivalent of the Pilot cutter. All ships need pilots for navigating into port. So pilots meet ships in ice waters using such a method - don't know what it is called. Thanks for the interest.
@MrManny7426 I don't think any icebreakers go to the North pole. The scientific communities there might object. The Otso is designed for ice in the Baltic and Gulf of Bothnia.
@tupsumato Wow! That's alot of energy. The vessels I fish on try to stay away from shaft generators cause we need all the horsepower that we can get for towing our nets. Not too mention they're all fixed wheels. Most of them at least. With ice breakers, is there a certain wheel or rudder used to minimize any damage?
Hello, Some ice breakers are OK but the one in the video, the Otso (Google it for more info) is not good, or so I was told - and rolls a lot. She is designed to break ice and, although I am no expert, the hull is flatter than on a normal ship. Hope this helps, thank for the interest. AH
The Germans have sailed on her sister ship 'Kontio'. (Both mean "the bear" -- the ancient Finns would have called the Bear anything BUT the Bear, so there is no shortage of synonyms for the animal in the language.) Shown at: watch?v=dzmJUYz2ULE
This film was supposed to be shot in the Baltic but there was no ice - global warming. Thus we moved north where there was ice but it was thin. When you are making real films you have use what you get. There is no "art department" to demand thicker ice. You people must realise that. Also, this was a training film to give ships' captains, with no experience of sailing ice, a few hints. So get real please.
"This film was supposed to be shot in the Baltic but there was no ice - global warming." Great film, but the interannual variations are huge in the Baltic, global warming or not! It's a minority of years that you have major ice in the Baltic proper.
Andreas Kõrgend That's a myth -- ships and icebreakers have no permanent effect on ice, the opened pathway will refreeze in hours, or the wind may pack it in almost instantly.
Itapirkanmaa2 how about being scientific ? my self evidence indicates correlations between increasing number of ships with less ice in the Tallinn Bay..(90s-today).... the vibrations which boats engines emit at dock is 24/7, i can feel it currently inside house across on 3rd floor which is more receptive for some reason . the last time it was partially iced over was in late 90s ... Elders swear of it having been a norm to cover with ice .
Yes, one of the Otso officers told me the ship rolled a lot in normal seas. More than that I cannot say. I was only on board in ice conditions. Best wishes.AH
Do you Have More video material from there. ..i mean iveas at The same Time on board as a deckhand and i remember one Time when they liftet you with crane over to The bow....on just curious If there IS a possibility that i might Be seen on The video😬If so it would Be so great to Have a memory from there....

You may well have seen it already. Thanks for your interest and sorry for taking so long. th-cam.com/video/R66NrHz6xx8/w-d-xo.html
@kimskis Only russians have nuclear powered icebreakers. So as long as it`s not about russian ships, you can say, that it`s not nuclear powered... Russians have the biggest nuclear powered civilian fleet - 8-9 vessels. Americans have only one civilian ship with nuclear reactor. Other countries don`t have any. Note that i am not talking about Navy - they have atomic subs, carriers, cruisers etc - both americans and russians...
@leoliamll Mm.. it's not. I am from Finland, And once I was on a boat cruise in Estonia, Our boat stuck on ice (Big boat.... thing.. with thousands of people.) And then suddently we got announcement "Everyone, be normal, We are JUST stuck at ice" :D.......... And then after half hour there came a ice breaker and made us way to Estonia
Can someone explain what kind of reinforcement these vessels have on the stem at the waterline? seems like it would have to be built pretty tough to do this kind of thing year after year!
5cm steel on where it attacks ice. It does not have to be thicker. If Ice is stronger and won't break, Ice breaker climbs and slides over the ice and break with sheer mass of the vessel.
If you change the subject you should mention it. I doubt there will be droughts in Scandinavia we can't handle. Though we have to improve our irrigation systems.
VicariousReality7 "Otso" is one of the many old Finnish words for the bear. In the ancient Finnish tradition the bear was a taboo, and the bear would be called by a range of other names BUT not "the bear"!
***** What a coincidence! I´ve Heard of some similarities between our languages although they are not related. it´s curious to use the same word to call big mammals.
Asier Sanz I briefly checked the etymological literature and in fact it seems that "otso" can't be traced to the east of the Urals, like the synonym (and also the sister ship) "kontio". This means the history of "otso" in Finnish could be traced back about 2,000 years, whereas "kontio" has a history of 4,000+ years. This could speak for an early European connection.

One. How is this related to the commercial exploitation of natural resources like oil and gas in the Arctic region? Two. Yeah its really surprising when increased water evaporation from the surrounding seas result into drought instead of rain. Storms and floods seem to be more of an potential future trouble in our region. Besides the food production capability of Scandinavia, Russia, Canada and Alaska increases with global warming.
@@JK-qc2wb An icebreaker has a toughened hull to withstand the ice - this is called "Ice class".

Is that the first time you have seen a film with music? I think it started in the 1920s.
I love the smell of ice in the morning!
Hi, You may be right. Even when this was filmed - 2004 - Helsinki was unusually ice free, which is why we went north. Thanks for you interest.
Yes, it is a shipping channel - like a road across the ice- the icebreakers keep them open - no big deal - but they also make new ones and that's when a ship needs ice class construction. Thanks for the interest.
I believe it is a free service by the Finnish government to keep the seaways open for trade. Thanks for the interest
that camera on the bow crane was the best ! good stuff man & thanks for the chill down
Thanks Julius, hanging on the end of a bow "cherry picker" at 12 knots was quite a ride!
So did you manage to take anyones "cherry" whilst on the bow of that ship?
