An icebreaker will appear in the Baltic

The most powerful diesel-electric icebreaker in the world "Viktor Chernomyrdin" will be delivered to the customer no later than November 1, 2020 and will operate in the Baltic. Writes about it "Kommersant" with reference to sources in the USC.

As the newspaper writes, the new date for the delivery of the diesel-electric icebreaker Viktor Chernomyrdin is November 1, 2020. However, it is noted that the terms are taken "with a margin", the transfer of the icebreaker will take place in September this year. At the same time, it is stated that the icebreaker, built for work on the Northern Sea Route, will be operated in the Baltic Sea, it is possible that it will participate in expeditions.

According to USC sources, the icebreaker will be delivered without ice tests, since they need ice with certain characteristics, which happens in April-May, and it will take too long to wait for the onset of spring. If any shortcomings are subsequently identified, the shipyard will correct them within the framework of the current warranty.

At the end of December last year, it was reported that the Viktor Chernomyrdin icebreaker was technically ready, the crew was formed, the ship passed all the necessary mooring and sea trials, however, the transfer to the customer was postponed again due to inconsistency of financial and legal issues with the customer.

The icebreaker of project 22600 was built by order of the FSUE "Rosmorport" according to the contract signed with USC in December 2011. The icebreaker was laid down at Baltic Shipyard-Shipbuilding LLC on October 10, 2012. According to the plans of shipbuilders, the icebreaker should be commissioned in 2015, but in 2013 the construction was stopped due to gross errors during the development of the design documentation for the vessel, as a result of which the design overweight on the mass of the icebreaker was about 2,5 thousand tons.

The construction of the icebreaker for the redesigned project was resumed at BSZ only in the second half of 2016, and in September 2017, the icebreaker Viktor Chernomyrdin of the 22600 project (LC-25) was transferred for completion afloat from Baltiysky Zavodostroenie LLC to the opposite shore Neva on the JSC "Admiralty Shipyards". The reason for this was the workload of the BSZ on the construction of the 22220 project icebreakers (LK-60Я).

However, the misfortunes did not end there: in November 2018, a fire occurred on the vessel under construction, as a result of which part of the icebreaker equipment was damaged. The consequence of the fire was another shift in the delivery of the icebreaker to the right due to damage to imported equipment, which was being replaced in Korea and Europe.

This has never happened before, and suddenly again ... The construction is not easy, and God forbid that they no longer move ...

[Uncle lee]

due to the revealed gross errors in the development of the ship's design documentation

there was a fire on the ship under construction

Well Stepanich, a walking aphorism was ..!
Well, we are waiting for September-November. The icebreaker is powerful, of course, and you see it is not easy inside!

[bayard]

The shipbuilders failed the order, they built a frank invalid, overweight by 2 tons (!!!). This ship was unhappy in construction on the slipway, in completion, and in trials. Therefore, sending it to the Arctic is a shame and crap. The customer does not need it like that, therefore ... for the public they honestly said that it would ... "work in the Baltic", where it is not needed for nothing ... Especially so expensive.
In short, not a steamer, but a continuous aphorism.

So it will float "

wanted the best, but it turned out to be such an icebreaker

Dear authors.
Thanks for your articles.
Request.
Accompany such articles with technical specifications.
If the "most powerful in the world" is approved.
It becomes interesting to me how powerful, more powerful than what, etc. and so on.
You can, of course, rummage in the internet.
However, the article would be more valuable and more interesting if we provide technical data and any comparisons.

Thank you.

[Errr]

Rummaged. It turns out that "Viktor Chernomyrdin" with a capacity of 25 MW (34 thousand hp) is far from the most powerful in the world. Back in 1976, a non-nuclear "Polar Star" (USCGC "Polar Star") with a total engine power of 78 thousand liters was put into operation in the USA. from. (over 57 MW). Six Alco 16V-251F diesel engines (6 × 3000 hp (2200 kW)) plus three Pratt & Whitney FT-4A12 gas turbines (3 × 25 hp (000 kW)). The iron is still puffing, although lately it seems like it’s gasping for breath.
Excuse me for my involuntary smile, but when will our narcissism run out ...

The most powerful in the world diesel-electric icebreaker "Viktor Chernomyrdin"

The difference in engines, diesel-electric is much more maneuverable

Polar Star can't do that

[Rzzz]

Secretly, all icebreakers are electric. Rigid gearing hasn't been done since the days of steam engines. I hope you understand the reasons, no need to explain
And this design with an electric motor in a swivel nacelle is called Azipod. And this thing is imported (ABB - Alsthom), and import substitution does not even shine.

It is about diesel electric icebreakers, and not just "non-nuclear" ones with gas turbines and diesel engines.

Can you tell me what is wrong in the article on the link below?
https://sudostroenie.info/novosti/29519.html
Quoting from the above article:

Recall diesel electric icebreaker "Ermak" 30,4 MW was built by order of the USSR in Finland in 1974.

[seregatara1969]

And where did "Ilya Muromets" and his brothers go? There is a whole brigade of them in the port of Petersburg in the summer. The Gulf of Finland
it freezes, they work in winter. Unclear article title

There is more work in the Baltic than in the North.

[Observer2014]

I don’t know how to whom, but for me the name of the icebreaker is successful. And the history of its creation to the point. It fits right under its name. I already read a bunch of statements by V.S. Chernomyrdin before this comment

The locomotive of economic growth is like an elephant in a famous place ...

And there is just such a storehouse.

Quote: Observer2014

I don’t know how to whom, but for me the name is good for the icebreaker.

For a ship, the most unfortunate name is the name of a lost ship. If the new Titanic comes out, it will be a bad ship. They tried to build "Titanic" according to the designs of Sarel Goose and Clive Palmer, but have not yet completed it. So the bad name already shows "Don't build me".

[APASUS]

Who will be the first to issue warnings Norway, Sweden or the United States? The commissioning of a new icebreaker of the Russian Federation shows the aggressiveness of its intentions in the Arctic. Now accusations are raining down

[Ravil_Asnafovich]

All Balts, and small balts, and shyshya .

Viktor Chernomyrdin ...

[KAVBER]

Nuu "You are not here" will work where you need to work and do not care about all the squeals from not to neighboring states

[Stirbjorn]

With such a name and a history of construction, let it at least fit for the Baltic, since the Arctic cannot be mastered, although it is the most powerful there in the world

Ice in April-May?

Ice in April-May?

In the Baltic, from Gogland to St. Petersburg in April, not to mention Vyborg and Ust-Luga, there is always ice conditions.

[7,62x54]

I hope that Chernomyrdin will overcome the winter ice too.

[tralflot1832]

Forgot to add. The world's most powerful non-nuclear icebreaker. I hope the Vyartsilä diesel generators so that the engine crew does not suffer. Seven feet under the keel.

The name of the ice code is somehow not very happy. I wish everything turned out the best and not ...

Has the Baltic Sea been freezing lately?

And when did the Baltic Sea not freeze?

[voyaka uh]

I quite sincerely asked ... In my opinion, only shallow bays freeze. Finnish, Bothnian. In Stockholm I saw Swedish icebreakers - they are small.

From Drogden every 10 years, from Saaremaa every 5 years, from Nargen, Rodsher, almost every year, from Gogalnd every year until the end of April, and these are 4 Russian ports, and the ice situation is not easy. Kaliningrad and Klaipeda do not freeze, the Gulf of Riga freezes almost every year.

[voyaka uh]

thanks for the clarifications

[Deck]

For example this winter

[Hikaro]

The Gulf of Finland freezes on the approaches to Kotlin Island! The depths are shallow and the climate is appropriate! Most of the ice forms in late December, mid-January, and lasts until April! Therefore, icebreakers provide pilotage of ships along the sea channel and in the waters of the Gulf of Finland! Don't forget also about two important freezing ports like Vysotsk and Primorsk !! Icebreakers work there too! Itself more than once went by tanker to Vysotsk in winter, following the icebreaker at full speed!

It depends on what to count last time.
In 2011, ALED "Vaigach" had to be sent to the Gulf of Finland.

In 2012 and even steeper - the "heavy" ALED "50 years of victory" and "Russia" worked in the Federal Law.

The world's largest nuclear-powered ship "50 Years of Victory" arrived in the Baltic on February 3, 2012 and immediately got down to work, having driven more than 130 ships in a month. "Russia" changed it on March 7th.

Perhaps the "belmorkanal" hinted at me. Yes, I will not grumble, grumble and find fault with either the article or the difficult beginning of the fate of "the world's most powerful DIESEL-ELECTRIC icebreaker", or the name in honor of a famous Russian person. Everybody has mistakes and temporary failures, and fires happen on many ships (mainly due to the carelessness of coastal gouges). So, "Seven feet under the keel" is not the last icebreaker in the world! I hope we will hear a lot more good about him. ALL - a good joyful day!

Why do I want? Himself a fisherman-sailor-Far East in the past. And I VERY appreciate the kind word.

Yes, this is an excellent icebreaker, for the Baltic it is a fairy tale. And most importantly, he has excellent propeller-driven columns.

[Tests]

seregatara1969 (Sergey), dear, I support you by the name of the material at all 202%. "Icebreaker with a disfigured nose" - "Mudyug" in the port of St. Petersburg has been working in "Rosmorport" for many years, the Germans modernized it so that it was transferred from the Arkhangelsk port to Leningradsky ... I saw it last year in July, the last time, from Putilovskaya embankment of Kanonersky Island, came to St. Petersburg to his youngest daughter at the graduation ceremony in "Makarovka"

He is big for work in the Gulf of Finland, there would be more compact than anything.

In 2012, "50 Years of Victory" worked for us.

This has never happened and here again!

[Shadow041]

The ship is good, the name is bad!

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Dear, your short comment was rejected. Both the first and the second part.
"Ship" through the efforts of illiterate TV presenters and people far from sea work has lost its main importance. Today, ships are called both large aircraft (the commander of a ship ... sounds!), And large Ships. And once the encyclopedia clearly said: "A ship is a warship." Even today, any fisherman, sailor, person who is firmly and for a long time connected with the sea will not call a CIVIL ship a ship. Just imagine the phrase: "There is a ship for catching (processing) fish". Or: "There is a ship carrying coal (containers, seafood, timber, oil)." By the way, today there are military icebreakers. The simplest difference between a ship and a ship: the ship is commanded by the commander, and the ship is commanded by the captain.
Why is the name bad? Yes, Chernomyrdin was an ambiguous person. And he was a lot of freaks. But we are all not without sin! And why not name the outstanding icebreaker (the world's most powerful diesel-electric ship) after the name of an outstanding RUSSIAN man?

[Laksamana besar]

Who will send him to plow the NSR without ice tests, when he passes, then he will work where necessary.

[Arthur 85]

This has never happened before, and again ... Yes, a lot of work has been done in the post of ambassador.
