Tekes has been a reliable partner for Lamor

through the history of the company. With the

support of Tekes encouraging Research &

Development activities and broadened

networks, Lamor has reached an

undisputable market leader position in the

global oil spill community.

Lamor Corporation

Lamor enabling high

capacity Arctic oil spill

response services

Idea: Develop the next generation ice-breaker

based large capacity oil spill response system and

the business platform for Arctic oil spill response

services together with ice breaker fleet operators.

Impact: With increasing activities in the Arctic

areas, sustainable processes and standards need

to be developed. With the development of partner-

based oil spill response operations in ice covered

waters, the best technology and operational

solutions, new goals can be reached.

• Containers are transformed into standard

floating units. By joining them up, fairly

large floating platforms can be created.

• The demand for floating structures is

constantly increasing in areas such as

arctic regions and developing countries

where the conditions are challenging.

Ltd, Floating

structures rapidly

and cost-efficiently

The steering group of our project

includes a Tekes expert, who has

provided us with valuable feedback and

guidance.

Pasi Peho

Director

Nextbase Offshore Ltd

Idea: Growing transportation needs and

economic activity in northern sea areas are

increasing demand for ship equipment

designed for sub-zero conditions.

Environmental norms are creating new

markets for arctic propulsion solutions

Impact: The independently developed

propeller must be unique, in order to enable

the growth and expansion of business into

areas which the subcontracting

manufacturer has been unable to penetrate.

Ice propellers take

Tevo into Arctic

markets

”We are developing a unique ice propeller

product family. These new products will reduce

fuel consumption, emissions and noise created

by vessels, thereby meeting requirements for

the protection of Arctic sea areas.

The solutions will be developed in collaboration

with Aker Arctic, a top expert in polar see

engineering, and VTT."

Examples of our

networked collaborative

projects

• AAWA (advanced autonomous waterborne

applications) 6,6 m€

• SMULAN (underwater noise emissions) 1m€

Idea: Establish innovative and cost-effective

instruments and solutions for the monitoring of

global maritime emissions with a value network

approach.

Impact: Enabling the authorities to establish a

level playing field for maritime emissions, and

providing tools for industry-level transparency.

“The HyperGlobal project builds a bold, forward-

looking value network to address one of the

greatest challenges of maritime transport in our

time.”

Tapani Stipa, Adjunct professor, Finnish

Meteorological Institute

The HyperGlobal - based

on the absorption of

electromagnetic radiation,

and innovative gas sensors

xx-2013 DM

Idea: How to accurately scale up results from the

model-scale sea ice -experiments to full-scale

for design purposes.

Impact: New knowledge enables more accurate

and reliable design of arctic structures, and is

needed by the Arctic Technology industry. .

“Resentely renovated Aalto University Ice Tank

has a central role in the project. We are also

pleased to welcome highly respected scientist in

the field of sea ice fracture, Professor John

Dempsey from Clarkson University (USA) to join

the project as a FiDiPro-professor.”

Assistant professor, Aalto university

Arttu Polojärvi

Scaling of Ice Strength

tests to full-scale

purposes

xx-2013 DM

Idea: To create new international co-creation

ecosystem and innovative network around ship

propulsion to fulfil needs arising from increasing

arctic see operations. The network is due to.

Impact: catalyze solutions for the management

of ice loads and vibrations as well as develop

sensor technologies for the identification of

critical operational and loading stages

Industrial target is to increase power density,

adapt new validated methods for sizing and to

increase product reliability. In Finland partners

participating the project are Wärtsilä, gear

manufacturers ATA Gears and Katsa. Research

partners are VTT and TUT.
