Terms of operation of the nuclear-powered icebreaker "Arktika" on the Northern Sea Route announced

The lead nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika, project 22220, will begin operations on the Northern Sea Route in December this year. The corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the government's press service reports.

The lead universal nuclear icebreaker of project 22220 "Arktika" will be put into operation with a propeller shaft capacity of up to 50 MW. The decision will allow to start using the icebreaker in the water area of ​​the Northern Sea Route from December 2020

- said in a statement.



At the same time, it is specified that the icebreaker will go into operation with a faulty starboard propeller motor; it will be replaced in 2021 during docking in Kronstadt.

In 2021, a new starboard propeller motor will be installed at Arktika, which will increase the vessel's capacity to 60 MW

- noted in the document.

At present, the icebreaker "Arktika" is in Murmansk, where it arrived on October 12, 2020, having covered about 21 nautical miles in 4800 days of crossing from St. Petersburg. During the passage, the icebreaker specially went to the geographic point of the North Pole to test the operation of the propeller-rudder complex and the ship's electric propulsion system in ice conditions.

The Arctic nuclear icebreaker is the lead vessel of Project 22220 in a series of three vessels being built at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg under a contract with Rosatom.

A feature of the 22220 project icebreakers is the use of variable draft using ballast tanks. Double-deck ships can operate both in deep water and in shallow water in river beds, overcoming ice up to 3-meters thick without losing speed. According to project data, new icebreakers will become the largest and most powerful in the world.

      Actually, the news sounds like this:
      The world's most powerful nuclear-powered ship "Arktika", the lead ship of Project 22220, has officially entered the Russian nuclear fleet!
      The general directors of Atomflot Mustafa Kashka and the Baltiyskiy Zavod Aleksey Kadilov signed an acceptance certificate in the port of Murmansk. The national flag of Russia was raised on the icebreaker.
      The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

    There are two electric motors for each propeller. One flew off, but this did not prevent the Arctic from going to the state tests at the North Pole. We survived, all acceptance documents are signed on the atomic icebreaker, only after the trip to the North Pole. All who are against, we envy in silence. good

        Normal practice. Like European shipowners, however ...
        The main thing is for the register surveyor to heed the requests of the ship owner's representative that "minor flaws" can (and will) be corrected in the near future.
        And "envelope" with gratitude. Or transfer to a bank card.

      Greetings comrade! The Angles tried to seize the Northern Sea Route, starting from the XNUMXth century! While the Pomors as far back as the XII century reached the Ob Bay and to Severnaya Zemlya. MV Lomonosov, DI Mendeleev devoted many works to this. For example, both O. E. Kotzebue and John Franklin tried to pass the Northwest Route, and the first was the Norwegian Amundsen.

          Why would an ICEBREAKER walk on open water? An icebreaker is an icebreaker to walk on sea ice. On open water, an icebreaker is not needed from the word "absolutely". What will the icebreaker do in open water?
          Quote from rudolf
          he breaks the ice with his body.

          Do you imagine an icebreaker as such a cleaving ax? The network is full of videos where the icebreaker goes on the ice, and the ship has no up-and-down amplitude. The icebreaker has a huge mass, and it simply pushes down and breaks the ice with its mass.

              First, there are no tropical cyclones, hurricanes, or other typhoons in the Barents Sea. This is not the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico or the South China Sea. Secondly, he will not go to Tiksi, there is nothing to do there, a village with a population of 5 thousand people, where the seaport was closed long ago. The icebreaker will operate in the Kara Sea and at the mouth of the Yenisei, paving the way for ships to Dudinka and back. That is why the icebreaker was made capable of working both at sea and on rivers.

            maybe there is a system against rolling?

            This is only available on passengers. Yes, and you get used to pitching in 10 years, "As a person gets used to everything, so MoMu got used to city life."

      It is tight on the NSR with storms in the ice, but when switching to warranty repairs in Leningrad, I completely agree with you.

      The superstructure is very high. I can imagine what kind of pitching will be on the navigating bridge.

      The superstructure is excellent, just what you need. The main thing is an excellent overview, especially when the ships are rounded up, whiskers and maneuvering between ships. The "krigolomshchiki" waited a long time for such a superstructure, otherwise I remember the old "Kiev", where you run like crazy from wing to wing.
      A person who went to the seas should know that he talks in the seas and rests on Lake Ritsa.

          Good visibility from the bridge outweighs the other disadvantages of such a tall superstructure.

          A good bridge for masters and navigators, the most important thing in their work and life at sea. Visibility, convenience, everything is at hand (a toilet is required), and of course navigation equipment, especially radars.

    In my opinion - the right decision. If the power reserve allows you to start operation, there is nothing to stand idle and time to waste. All the same, this is the lead ship.

    By the way, when he went fishermen, our sailor went to the nuclear fleet. Received from the new building, 50 years of Victory. Nationality: Azerbaijani, not everyone sells in the markets.

      Yes, an interesting fate of this icebreaker "50 Let Pobedy" ("Ural"). It was the eighth nuclear power plant, the largest before the Arctic. There were no such people in the world. There is something to be proud of the Soviet Union.

    well, why don't you want to close the states?) are they, as it were, engaged in production and sale in huge quantities?)))) they are supposedly allowed, but not for us?)))

    So what? they eat cucumbers, what do we do too ...
    they can both production and sale, so they have microelectronics and everything else of their own, and if there are factories in China and Russia, it’s ov’s factories, and we are pumping oil!

    The lead ship will be driven until all the "childish" sores appear on the new technology in order to fix the serial ones, such is the life of the lead ships.
    I am glad that we are developing the Nuclear Fleet, we need to increase our advantages in the areas in which we are ahead wink

    The icebreaker fleet in Russia is the most powerful in the world and its further expansion is underway.
    The fight for the Arctic is just beginning! The prospects for the Arctic have so far only been roughly calculated, and not only in economic terms.

    Well, yes, when the USSR was building "Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod" to pump gas to Europe - this is normal. And when Russia is engaged in the same and for the same purposes, it is "fu fu fu".
    To be honest, some have already pulled up with their hypocritical pseudo-patriotic demagogy.

    Yeah, and at the same time they take a patriotic nickname and always Joseph Vissarionovich on the avatar.

    Don't write nonsense. Where have you seen rolling in the frozen, ice-covered sea? Of course, I understand that you are working according to the training manual and must whine under every good news about Russia. But at least sometimes the pumpkin must be turned on. Although ... People of a narrow mind become liberators.

    And from the port he will probably teleport to the edge of the ice? And on open water with excitement there will never be
    And nonsense, as you say, was written by a submarine officer of the Northern Fleet. Well, since I wrote something "negative", it means only According to the manual ...
