The ceremony was held in the presence of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The project 22220 Arctic icebreaker has officially joined the Russian nuclear fleet. On Wednesday, October 21, the ship's acceptance certificate was signed and the state flag of the Russian Federation was raised on the ship. According to RIA Novosti, the icebreaker commissioning ceremony was held in the presence of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The icebreaker itself arrived in the port of Murmansk last week, completing the stage of ice testing. In three weeks, the "Arctic" covered about 4,800 nautical miles (almost 9,000 kilometers), passing through the geographical point of The earth's North pole.

The ship was laid down almost seven years ago, in November 2013. In the summer of 2016, it was launched; at the same time, nuclear reactors were installed on the Arctic. And tests of the nuclear-powered ship started a month ago.

"Arctic" is designed to overcome smooth ice up to 2.8 meters thick. The icebreaker is two-stage: in deep draught, it can pass through ocean ice fields, and in shallow water, it can work in riverbeds. Thanks to this, the vessel can also replace small-sitting nuclear icebreakers of the Taimyr project.

The length of the nuclear-powered vessel is 173 meters, the width is 34 meters, and the displacement is 33.5 thousand tons. Arktika has two power plants with RITM-200 reactors with a thermal capacity of 175 MW each.

Earlier , factory sea trials of the Aldar Tsydenzhapov Corvette started in the sea of Japan, and the Amur shipyard laid down a new project 22800 karakurt rocket ship.
