Chuck Richards, chair of the ATC Oversight Committee, presented the awards to Ovako for its SZ-Steel and to Viking Supply Ships for its Bulbous bow ice-breaking design.
Now in its fourth year, ATC brings together Arctic industry leaders and professionals from around the globe.
SZ-Steel (or “sub-zero”), one of five Ovako attribute brands, is a family of steel grades with low impurity levels and controlled grain size that is well proven and tested to hold key properties in sub-zero conditions. The sub-zero steels reduce risks of embrittlement and fracturing. The result is safer and more reliable performances in temperatures beneath -40 °C, and many of the steels are tested to withstand temperatures down to -100 °C and lower.
