Ice Breaker Tarmo Moored in Saaremaa Port for Maintenance

The state-owned ice breaker Tarmo was successfully moored in the deep sea port of Saaremaa on Friday morning. This marked the ship’s first visit to the Estonian island’s port, located in the Liivi Sea. The Tarmo has been conducting operations in the Liivi Sea for the past two weeks, primarily focused on ice-breaking activities.

During this period, the Tarmo ice breaker encountered a machine malfunction. Following the incident, the vessel secured a berth in Saaremaa’s port to facilitate necessary repairs and resupply. Officials confirmed that the ship will remain in the port for several days to address the technical issue and replenish its resources.

The Tarmo’s presence in Saaremaa underscores the ongoing efforts to manage ice conditions within the Liivi Sea. The port’s strategic location allows for efficient logistical support as the Tarmo continues its operational duties. Further updates on the repair progress will be provided as they become available.
