    This document summarizes the equivalence between the ice classes of various classification societies and the Finnish-Swedish ice classes. It provides two appendices that outline the ice class equivalences. Appendix 1 covers ships with keels laid on or after September 1, 2003, while Appendix 2 covers ships with keels laid before this date. The document establishes a framework for determining what Finnish-Swedish ice class can be granted based on a ship's existing classification society ice class notation.

    THE EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THE FINNISH-SWEDISH ICE CLASSES


    AND THE ICE CLASSES OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES

    The Finnish Maritime Administration has confirmed the enclosed list of ice class notations of
    authorized classification societies and the equivalent Finnish-Swedish ice classes in accordance
    with section 12.3 of the Act on Fairway Dues (708/2002).

    THE EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THE FINNISH-SWEDISH ICE CLASSES


    AND THE ICE CLASSES OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES

    For an ice class to be granted, the ship’s draught on the load line must be within the limits of the
    ship’s maximum (LWL) and minimum (BWL) ice class draughts and in accordance with the ship’s
    Tonnage Certificate.

    The maximum and minimum ice class draughts fore and aft and the minimum engine output
    corresponding to the ice class shall be stated in the classification certificate.

    1 Equivalence of ice classes

    When the ice class of a ship is determined on the basis of the ice class notation of a classification
    society, the ship may be granted the Finnish-Swedish ice class IA Super, IA, IB or IC according to
    Appendix 1, if the keel of the ship is laid or is at a similar stage of construction on or after
    1 September 2003.

    When the ice class of a ship is determined on the basis of the ice class notation of a classification
    society, the ship may be granted the Finnish-Swedish ice class IA Super, IA, IB or IC according to
    Appendix 2 for the ship, if the keel of the ship has been laid or has been at a similar stage of
    construction before 1 September 2003.

    To be entitled to retain ice class IA Super or IA a ship, the keel of which has been laid or which
    has been at a similar stage of construction before 1 September 2003, shall comply with the
    requirements in section 3.2.2 of the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules (20.9.2002 No. 5/30/2002,
    see Finnish Maritime Administration Bulletin No. 13/1.10.2002) at the following dates:

    - 1 January 2005 or
    - 1 January in the year when 20 years has elapsed since the year the ship was delivered,
    whichever occurs the latest.

    2 Equivalence of other ice classes

    If a ship has an ice class not mentioned in Appendix 1 or 2 of one of the classification societies
    mentioned in sections 1 or 2, or an ice class of another classification society, not mentioned in
    sections 1 and 2 above, the equivalence of the ship’s ice class is subject to approval of the Finnish
    Maritime Administration. For approval of equivalence, the following information shall be sent to
    the Administration:

    2.1 A copy of the relevant ice class rules of the classification society
    2.2 The dimensions of the ship and the ship parameters given in section 3.2.1 of the Finnish-
    Swedish Ice Class Rules (20.9.2002 No. 5/30/2002)
    2.3 A copy of the construction drawing and steel drawing of the ice belt
    2.4 A copy of the lines drawing of the bow
    2.5 A copy of the ship’s Classification Certificate
    2.6 A copy of the ship’s Load Line Certificate
    2.7 A copy of the ship’s Tonnage Certificate
