The first serial nuclear-powered icebreaker "Siberia" of project 22220 began the transition to Murmansk

The first serial nuclear-powered icebreaker "Siberia" of project 22220 is fully ready for operation in the Arctic. This is reported by Rosatomflot on its Instagram page.

The icebreaker left the "Baltic Shipyard" in St. Petersburg and began moving to the place of permanent registration, the port of Murmansk. According to preliminary data, the transition will take eight to nine days. According to the press service of Rosatomflot, the icebreaker is completely ready to work in the Arctic, the experienced crew knows the route well, most of the crew members have already worked on other icebreakers.

The first working voyage of the icebreaker is planned a few days after arriving in Murmansk. The main place of work of "Siberia" will be the western sector of the Arctic - the Ob-Yenisei region of the Kara Sea.

The universal nuclear-powered icebreaker Sibir is the first serial vessel of Project 22220 after the lead Arktika in a series of three vessels being built at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg under a contract with Rosatom. Laid down on May 26, 2015, launched on September 22, 2017, the acceptance certificate to the customer was signed on December 24, 2021. Joined FSUE Atomflot.

Length - 173,3 meters (160 meters at design waterline), width - 34 meters (33 meters at design waterline), side height - 15,2 meters, power - 60 MW (on shafts), travel speed - 22 knots (through clean water ), draft - 10,5 meters / 9,03 meters, maximum icebreaking capacity - 2,9 meters, displacement - 33 540 tons, design service life - 40 years, crew size - 54 people.

And yet, judging by the regular news, it works quite effectively ... USC! The slipways are freed up and there is an opportunity to build new ships.

Freight turnover on the Northern Sea Route 1987, 6,5 ml tons per year. The best result in the USSR.
Freight turnover on the Northern Sea Route in 2021, 32,9 mln tons per year.

This is all an increase in the export of oil and gas. Foreigners still do not go along the Northern Sea Route.

Some stocks are painted for years to come. Baltzavod recently had to refuse an order for the first two buildings of a series of floating nuclear power plants - the plant was firmly engaged in the construction of five (now four) ALED pr. 22220.

I saw him in the red lead at the factory wall))) The guys from the same company next to ours made hatches and coamings, portholes and other things for him.

[The black]

Seven feet under the keel!!!

[Avior]

And what about the NSR? Somehow it has calmed down lately

[Orkraider]

Greetings!

Not quiet, very dense traffic. To send the cargo you need to wait in line, there are really not enough ships and icebreakers. Arkhangelsk and Murmansk are packed, terminals will soon refuse to accept.

So we are waiting for the new Arctic three more, and we will be happy)))

[tralflot1832]

He is from Ukraine, he is only interested when steamers are wiped with ice.

[Orkraider]

Greetings!

I know, but I'm used to the old style of VO communication, and I try not to focus on where the interlocutor is from.

And on the news, she's wonderful
Two new full-fledged icebreakers, in service, this is a direct gift!
We are waiting for "Ural" in 2022 and raise for it
By the way, ice-class ships are also bought on the line, NN plans to expand the composition

[tralflot1832]

How tolerant it is in Murmansk, everything is fine with the snow. And then I remember 1986, there was not even a slide opposite the Northern Highlands on New Year's Eve .. That was warming!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Somehow there was no snow on NG, I remember.) I used to live in Murmansk. Now in St. Petersburg. I download in the North and in Murmansk.

[tralflot1832]

There are no former Murmansk residents, I myself miss nature, and especially people, even the cops were human.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I agree. And in St. Petersburg people are good. It's wrong to complain. Especially the native Leningraders. But our Murmansk residents are somehow closer. Forgive me, Petersburgers...

[tralflot1832]

And what are the rumors in Ukraine about the NSR, everything is frozen. So it’s winter. Marintrafik is too lazy to see.

[tralflot1832]

Great news. And then in December Tyimyr had to be taken from the charter from Norilsk Nickel for a rescue operation. According to forecasts, this winter will give heat. And so there will be 5 icebreakers on the NSR. The Sorcerers finally learned how to work. The Baltic plant already has claims under 100 million rubles to subcontractors. These are the figures for December.

Good Luck! Good weather on the crossing! We are waiting for "Siberia" in Murmansk!

[Normann]

Serial construction is very good.

[Dart2027]

Something I do not see here "guardians of our fleet."

[tralflot1832]

Siberia does not fit into their manual.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

"parents for the fleet" are those who have seen the sea, from a sun lounger and higher than waist-high, into the water, do not enter.))))

[tralflot1832]

Well, they caught fish on an inflatable boat, and the Day of the Fisherman is celebrated on a level with us.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

That's for sure!) And you tell them how the trawl is pulled, with a strong roll .. Although, you don't need to scare people.)
With a neighbor in the garage, recently the Fisherman's Day was celebrated in the garage. I am a Murmansk citizen by right, although not a fisherman. He is by right of an amateur fisherman, St. Petersburg. I told him as children at the shipyard, the fish pulled. He was already getting ready to go to Murmansk.)

[Glagol1]

These are the strengths !!! All those involved in the construction and operation - Happy Holidays! You cannot name this event otherwise.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Seven feet under the keel and good luck to the crew!
