With the icebreakers OTSO and KONTIO two of the most modern and interesting ships of the Finnish fleet were built in 1986/1987 at the dockyard of Wärsilä (Finland). Both ice- breakers were equal, except for some details as the funnel and radar. The two propellers are driven by four electric motors, energized by a combination of 4 Dieselengines (each 5460 kW) and 4 Generators (each 7540 kVA). This technique makes it possible to deliver an equable power and the engines can be controlled faster. The ships are equiped with a new developed Air Bubbling System. This system consists of tubes, installed on both sides on the lower parts of the hull. Pressurized air comes out the tubes and reduce the friction between the hull of the ship and the ice.

The scale model of the Kontio has been designed to a scale of 1 : 87 and is based on original drawings. The driving gear consist of two electric motors with 6 Volt supply voltage and two direct driven propellers of 62 mm diameter.
