The Committee recommends the number and type of polar icebreakers to fund and an acquisition strategy that achieves a lower cost.The Committee developed an independent cost estimate using available concept designs to determine if the U.S. Coast Guard’s existing cost estimates for heavy and medium icebreakers are reasonable. It also compared operating costs of the current fleet to the prospective operating costs of new vessels. The Committee recommends a science-ready design for the new icebreakers and the use of an enhanced maintenance program to ensure continuity of operations for existing icebreakers.This letter report is mandated by the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2015, and sponsored by the USCG.
