TS Shipping Ltd. is a provider of escort icebreaking, ice management and offshore services. TS Shipping was founded in 2012 and is 100% owned by the state-owned company Port of Tallinn – the biggest port authority in Estonia, and one of the biggest Baltic Sea ports.

TS Shipping is the owner of Botnica, the well-known offshore support vessel and Baltic Sea icebreaker. The company provides full management services for the vessel, including commercial, technical and crewing.

The company’s activities are seasonal. During harsh winters, its activities are concentrated on engaging in safe escort icebreaking operations in the Gulf of Finland and in Estonian coastal waters, while during the summer it renders services to the offshore oil & gas and renewable energy industries throughout the world.

As oil exploration is moving farther north, the capabilities of Botnica form a perfect combination for use in the demanding Arctic environment during its short summers.

Both the onshore personnel and crew on board are committed to working safely and efficiently to complete the vessel’s tasks successfully.
