Icebreaking is a part of critical infrastructure and to ensure dependable icebreaking operations the Ministry Of Transport and Communications has reassessed the placement of the icebreakers. The ministry has instructed Arctia Ltd., the state-owned provider of the icebreaking services to distribute the icebreakers into new home ports and closer to the operating area of Bay of Bothnia. Port of Kemi and port of Pori have been named as new homeports for the icebreakers while port of Kotka is being decommissioned. Port of Helsinki continues as a home port.
