Since 1963, the legendary icebreaker Tarmo of Riigilaevastik | Estonian State Fleet has braved the icy waters of the Baltic, ensuring safe passage for countless vessels and maintaining vital trade routes. Built in Finland and proudly serving Estonia since 1993, Tarmo has come to symbolize resilience and dedication in maritime history

Today, Tarmo entered the dock in Tallinn for maintenance, including hull treatment and detailed thickness checks. Repairs will also be carried out on the ship’s bottom and shipside valves, along with installing new log equipment, replacement of the echosounder, and anode swaps

Tarmo is planned to be decommissioned in 2028, marking the end of its long and distinguished service. By then, it will have served 65 years- a remarkable tenure for any vessel!

As icebreaker Tarmo’s retirement approaches, its legacy remains an integral chapter in the maritime history of both Finland and Estonia. We are proud to have maintained Tarmo over the years, ensuring its readiness for icebreaking seasons and helping to preserve its lasting legacy
