The polar area is bringing new possibilities, transport routes and challenges for all of us. Finns have been active on this market already for years and therefore have special arctic knowhow.
Antti Vehviläinen, the Director General of the Finnish Transport Agency, during his business trip to the United States gave a presentation about the Finnish knowhow in operating in arctic conditions.
Attached you may find the presentation with keynotes.
This presentation and the Finnish arctic knowhow can be summarized into these four topics:
- Safety and general management of the winter navigation systems
- Arctic shipbuilding and offshore/onshore construction
- Arctic weather and ice information service and forecasting
- Arctic environmental protection and oil-combating
