In December 2013, the Institute of Marine Research (IMR), a Norwegian Governmental body for oceanographic research and fishing, signed a deal worth €175m with Fincantieri for the construction of an oceanographic icebreaker.

To be named Kronprins Haakon, the new ship will be owned by the Norwegian Polar Institute on behalf of the Norwegian Government, and will operate in polar waters.

Before delivery, the icebreaker will be put on sea trials in Norway at VARD, which is also a member of the Fincantieri Group.
