Here's two more visualizations of the production-ready #PolarClass4 Multi-Purpose #Icebreaker (MPI) that our consortium with @BollingerShip, @RMCFinland and @Seaspan is now offering to the @USCG with delivery within 36 months of contract award.
The Multi-Purpose Icebreaker (MPI) design was developed from the keel up for North American coast guard operations. It exceeds all Arctic Security Cutter requirements specified in the recent RFI and supports all eleven @USCG statutory missions. and it looks good!. #ARC146
