Rauma Shipyard Lays Keel Of Finnish Navy’s First Multi-Role Corvette
The keel of the first Squadron 2020 multi-role corvette was lowered at Rauma shipyard on Thursday 11 April. The traditional keel laying ceremony celebrates in effect the birth of the ship and marks the actual start of construction of the ship’s hull.
The keel of a ship and its cradle were lowered on a building trestle inside a construction hall where the ship is being built. As is the tradition, two lucky coins were placed under the ship that will remain there once the ship is completed.
Due to national security reasons, the corvettes are being built indoors. This is why outsiders were prohibited from also attending the keel laying ceremony. Present in the ceremony were the ordering party, that is the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command, the Finnish Navy, maritime classification society Lloyd’s Reister as well as the Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) management and key employees in the project.
“This day celebrates especially the shared work of the entire shipyard. The ship, today only a keel, can be seen as a symbol representing the commitment our shipyard and personnel have towards national defence. Our work has required smooth, extensive and open collaboration between the ordering party and all those connected to the project. The collaboration we have achieved is an asset that will ensure a successful outcome,” says Project Director Timo Ståhlhammar.
It has been five months since the start of construction, and the operative phase has progressed efficiently. The first part of the keel weighs 56 tonnes. The direct impact the Squadron Project has on employment in Finland is approximately 3,600 person-years.
