The United States, Canada, and Finland have signed a new agreement to build icebreakers together.
Finland is a leading manufacturer of icebreakers, which are specialized ships that break through thick ice to keep sea lanes open.
The Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE) was first initiated in July 2024 to compete with Russia’s expansion into the Arctic region. According to the agreement, signed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman, and Finnish Minister of Economic Affairs Sakari Puisto, 11 new icebreakers will be constructed over the next several years.
