"Admiralty Shipyards" launched an ice-resistant self-propelled platform "North Pole"

An ice-resistant self-propelled platform "North Pole" was launched in St. Petersburg. The launching ceremony took place on December 18 at the Admiralteyskie Verfi JSC. The United Shipbuilding Corporation reports.

The ice-resistant self-propelled platform of project 00903 is an all-season research platform with the functionality of a research center. Designed for year-round scientific research in the Arctic Ocean.



The vessel will be able to conduct geological, acoustic, geophysical and oceanographic observations, move in ice without the involvement of an icebreaker, and receive heavy helicopters of the Mi-8AMT (Mi-17) type. Wintering while maintaining comfortable and safe working and living conditions at the polar station is possible at temperatures down to -50 C

- said in the message of the USC.


The construction start ceremony at Admiralty Shipyards was held on December 21, 2018, the platform was officially laid on April 10, 2019. According to the terms of the contract, the vessel was to be handed over to the customer at the end of 2020, but the terms were shifted by two years with commissioning in 2022.

According to the project, the North Pole platform has the following characteristics: length - 83,1 m; width - 22,5 m; displacement - about 10390 tons; power plant - 4200 kW; speed - not less than 10 knots; autonomy in terms of fuel reserves - about 2 years; service life - at least 25 years. The crew of the vessel is 14 people + 34 scientific personnel.

Ice class Arc8 - independent navigation in cohesive one-year and two-year Arctic ice with a thickness of up to 2,1 m in winter-spring navigation and up to 3,1 m in summer-autumn. Overcoming ice bridges by raids. Navigation in the channel behind the icebreaker in two-year arctic ice up to 3,4 m thick in winter-spring and without restrictions in multi-year ice during summer-autumn navigation.

          A bright head came up with this vessel - the opportunity to explore the Arctic in a safe and comfortable environment. But such an opportunity arose only with the advent of powerful icebreakers capable of reaching ANY point in the Arctic. Of course, LSP is not an icebreaker, but an icebreaker will take it anywhere, even to the very top of the Earth! And she herself, it seems, can walk on 3-meter ice ... And no one else in the world has anything like it! good

            This bright head has a name - Fridtjof Nansen. He built his Fram with these lines about 90 years ago. Famous polar explorer, friend of the Soviet Union. Our fellows, who remembered the lines of the "Fram" - the ice pressure will squeeze the vessel up, and not break the side, like in "Chelyuskin" and many others.

              You are right, of course, about the contours. But I had something else in mind: the very idea of ​​placing polar explorers on mobile a comfortable platform that can be set up, moved to the desired location and reused. Previously, this was impossible: the camps were located on ice floes, ships froze into the ice and, against the will of polar explorers, they were carried somewhere, sometimes crushing. And the camps, I suppose, were not cheap, and had to be renewed.

                So Nansen used his "Fram" and called it in the ice. The expedition froze the ship into the ice east of Cape Chelyuskin, and they freed themselves from the ice near Spitsbergen. And I was wrong with the dates - it lasted from 1893 to 1896.

        On account of the better question is controversial, since everything should be a measure. Our state lacks almost all classes of ships, and if with the same icebreakers it is even less so, then with passenger, fishing, transport ships of OWN construction there is a problem.

          Scientific research of the ocean cannot be done without the military, not civilians ... and therefore:
          The Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IO RAS) began to modernize the fleet for the study of the World Ocean. This was reported to TASS by the press service of the Institute.
          “The auction for the development of a project for the repair of research vessels Akademik Sergei Vavilov and Akademik Nikolay Strakhov ended with the victory of the Russian design company Nordic Engineering. The work, worth about 190 million rubles, will be carried out within the framework of the Nauka national project, according to which it is planned to modernize three more research vessels, ”the press service explained.
          They clarified that the design documentation should be ready by August 31, 2021, and the work itself will take place at the end of 2021 and 2022. It is noted that the modernization will also affect the ship's equipment, which at the moment, in most cases, is already critically worn out.
          The World Ocean Research Program is part of the Science National Project, which is being implemented in Russia at the initiative of President Vladimir Putin. According to him, by 2030, about 250 marine scientific expeditions should be organized in the country.

      Along with the traditional complex of research, the creation of an ice-resistant self-propelled platform will expand the range of research and observations in the field of:
      - ionospheric observations;
      - geological research - on the basis of a sampling complex for the use of piston soil pipes and dredges, wet and analytical laboratories, core storage, to carry out an expanded complex of geological studies of the sedimentary layer of little-studied hard-to-reach areas of the Arctic basin;
      - chemical and environmental studies - based on analytical systems that allow performing high-precision analysis of the content of pollutants, suspensions, gases, abiotic pollutants contained in samples of water, air, ice, bottom sediments;
      - studies of ice loads and the mechanics of ice breakdown - previously not conducted studies of the mechanics of deformation and destruction of sea ice in order to improve methods for calculating local and global ice loads on ships and other engineering structures;
      - acoustic tomography of the Arctic basin - tracking (monitoring) the state of the hydrophysical fields of the Arctic Ocean;
      - study of the boundary layer and the free atmosphere in the central Arctic - based on the assimilation of data on the structure of the boundary layer and the free atmosphere, obtained using balloon and aircraft (unmanned aerial vehicles) measuring systems, improving the method of regional long-term and short-term weather forecast;
      - magnetic and gravitational research - conducting observations to clarify magnetic and gravitational fields (maps) in the high-latitude Arctic on the basis of modern magnetic and gravitational recording complexes, etc.

      The "simple" research was when polar explorers drifted on an ice floe and measured temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. then all this was transmitted by radio.

      There are completely different possibilities for equipment and conditions on a completely different level. The range can be estimated by the fact that there is a Coring Rig and equipment for studying the ionosphere. Those. it is a platform that provides opportunities for the full range of research in the Arctic from the seabed, including geology, ocean and space (ionosphere). Moreover, the conditions for the life and work of polar explorers are human, the romance will probably survive.

        Can I be more specific?

        Alexander, poked around a little and this is what was found:
        The development of the LSP "North Pole" project was carried out in close cooperation of Roshydromet, KB "Vympel" and the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute.
        Ice-resistant self-propelled platform "North Pole" is designed to carry out year-round complex scientific research in the high latitudes of the Arctic Ocean and must make a long drift for at least one year together with the surrounding ice massif.
        6,96 billion rubles were allocated from the country's budget to create the platform. In terms of the development of the technical design, acceptance and operational documentation, the designer is the Nizhny Novgorod design bureau "Vympel". The design documentation for the manufacture of the hull is being developed by the engineering center of the Admiralty Shipyards.
        The construction of the North Pole is being implemented within the framework of the state program for the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of Russia, and is also aimed at strengthening the Russian presence in the Arctic and Russia's position as the world leader in polar science.
        Some of the areas of research are:
        - acoustic tomography of the Arctic basin - tracking (monitoring) the state of the hydrophysical fields of the Arctic Ocean;
        - study of the boundary layer and free atmosphere in the central Arctic, improvement of the method of regional long-term and short-term weather forecast;
        - magnetic and gravitational research - conducting observations to clarify the magnetic and gravitational fields (maps) in the high-latitude Arctic on the basis of modern magnetic and gravitational recording systems, etc.
        - and many other types of research.

        It turns out that Roshydromet will have LSP on the balance sheet, but there is no doubt that the work will be carried out in the interests of the Navy.

      - Nobody has ever built such a thing. After all, in the past, at best, the icebreaker was frozen into the ice and worked on it while it was standing or drifting. And this is the first platform that will not freeze. Its hull is designed so that the ice will actually displace it.

It is assumed that the personnel on the platform will work on a rotational basis. The board provides comfortable accommodation for 54 people, including 34 researchers, 14 crew members and 6 helicopter pilots.

To ensure the maximum transport accessibility of the platform, the customer included a helipad with the ability to receive Mi-38 helicopters in the technical task. This is a rather large machine with an impressive sweeping area with blades, so at least 25 m of deck is needed for the platform, which turned out to be a bit too much for the sufficiently small main dimensions of the vessel. The task is to design a site that extends beyond the dimensions of the vessel. True, it is impossible to call the platform a full-fledged helicopter carrier, since there is no hangar for a rotorcraft on board. On the other hand, the Mi-38 helicopter, developed on the basis of the well-deserved Mi-8, is unpretentious and can be based in the open air ....

    The project is powerful and interesting. There is interest in it from researchers from other countries, they want to participate in joint expeditions. This is according to Maxim Yakovenko (head of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring): “There are already serious inquiries from foreigners regarding their inclusion in the work of this vessel. We welcome this, since the project was supposed to be large-scale and serious. In Roshydromet alone, about 12 scientific institutes will be involved in it, plus several institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other large organizations will be involved. "

    There is an inaccuracy in this article, it is written:

    But, the LSP is being built for the class of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping: KM (*) Arc5 [1] AUT1-C HELIDECK-F Special purpose ship, and the strength of its hull is calculated for the Arc8 class.
