Nuclear icebreaker "Ural" left the Kronstadt Marine Plant after scheduled dock repairs

The nuclear icebreaker "Ural" of project 22220 completed its scheduled dock repairs and left the dry dock of the Kronstadt Marine Plant. According to the press service of the enterprise, the repairs were completed ahead of schedule.


"Ural" was taken out of the Veleshchinsky dock of the Kronstadt Marine Plant, where specialists from the Baltic Shipyard inspected the underwater part of the hull, the bottom-side fittings and the steering screw complex, and also carried out scheduled repair work, including painting the underwater part of the hull. Now the icebreaker has been towed to the Baltic plant, where warranty service will be completed. From there, the icebreaker will go to Murmansk, where it will begin its main work - guiding ships along the Northern Sea Route. This year, the Ural worked in the Ob-Yenisei region of the Kara Sea.

It was reported back in July of this year that the nuclear icebreaker Ural would go to the Kronstadt Marine Plant for scheduled maintenance. According to the contract, all Project 2220 icebreakers undergo scheduled repairs in the Baltic, and not in Murmansk, like all the others. The nuclear-powered submarine was placed in dry dock at the beginning of September.

The universal nuclear icebreaker "Ural" is the second serial and third icebreaker of project 22220, built to provide year-round navigation along the Northern Sea Route. Laid down at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg on July 25, 2016, launched on May 25, 2019, after which it was completed afloat. The reactor plant was launched in May this year. The main power plant of the icebreakers includes two Ritm-200 reactors with a thermal power of 175 MW each, the reactors have a service life of 40 years.

Double-draft icebreakers of Project 22220 can operate both in deep water and in shallow water in river beds, breaking ice up to 3 meters thick.

    Oh, I don’t like early completion of repairs...
    Although it’s possible that nothing terrible happened there.
    They peeled off the shell and tinted it.
    Our "Sargan" has arrived for repairs. And there is a “bag”!..
    Deadlines - until the end of the month fool

    Isn’t it too much of a detour to drive from the Arctic to the Baltic Sea to inspect and paint?
    And do I understand correctly that this is all for the sake of loading the Baltic marine factories with work?

      Your question is too multifaceted.
      Let's start with the fact that let's say our shipyard took over not only the construction of the ship, but also its warranty service for five years.
      Perhaps there is a similar agreement there.
      Let's move on. As I know, a PD was drowned in the Murmansk region. Without which it is quite possible that this ship will not be able to dock in the north. Well, besides, serving on your own territory is always more convenient than on someone else’s.
      To my fierce envy, the Baltic shipyards are so busy. Unlike, for example, NW "SEA".
      In addition, since the ship is nuclear-powered, there is no question at all about driving it to St. Petersburg.
      The team will visit museums/theatres. To expand your horizons. request

      This is a warranty service and is carried out by the manufacturer.

      The warranty terms under the contract are factory scheduled maintenance and repairs only.

      What is the work load? Baltic Plant even refused to build the first two buildings for the Volga Nuclear Power Plant - there are no places, no hands, the plant is fully loaded with the construction of the 22220 series.
