Right, TOO SMALL for ice was my 1st thought! But then I saw what this baby can do and I'm impressed...watch RUclips video titled just "VIKINGEN" too! As an ice-tug operator myself, it's obvious her Captain is skilled at what he does and gentle on the boat but still what a great little tug...was shocked to see it has a hull (cut-back "knife" bow) almost identical to the famous old 1940s USCG 180' "WLB" tenders & 110' "WYTM" tugs we have on the Great Lakes for heavy ice work. I love this VIKINGEN!
Its so cute ,,, its like a real icebreaking tug , only in the distance .

Sounds lovely wide open, just a hint of turbo.
riktigt kul att se :) och härligt att höra Scanian jobba :)
Tough little boat!
You use what you have!
nice, but it could be heavier, break the ice easier.
yeah, but these are government funded, they should be better equipped.
SirLobsterman Nope, this one is a harbourtug. Not goverment funded
