Accordingly, the service’s program to modernize its icebreaker fleet includes a new seven-vessel homeland security cutter-light icebreaker class (HSC-L).

USCG issues RFI for new HSC-L light icebreaker class

The service has now released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking industry input on the new class, which will replace both the USCG’s 65-foot light icebreaking tugs (WYTLs), commissioned into service between 1961-1967, and its 49-foot buoy utility stern loading boats (BUSLs) with a single, dual-capability platform,,

The new HSC-Ls will be equipped with aids to navigation (ATON) capabilities. This means they can perform vital tasks such as quickly restoring damaged or missing navigational aids after storms or accidents.      The new vessels will be designed to operate efficiently in a variety of ice conditions, providing safe passage and navigation for vessels of all sizes.
