TSAMTO, November 23. It is planned that the 21180m project icebreaker evpatiy Kolovrat, which is under construction in Saint Petersburg at the Almaz Shipbuilding company, will join the Navy in 2022.
A number of innovative solutions have been implemented in the design and construction of this icebreaker," Admiral Nikolay Evmenov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, said earlier following a meeting at the Admiralty, which discussed the design, construction and use of surface ships and vessels of the Russian Navy.
Currently, the icebreaker hull is being saturated with the appropriate equipment on the slipways of the Almaz Shipbuilding company, which is part of the United shipbuilding Corporation. The displacement of the icebreaker "evpatiy Kolovrat" will be 4 thousand tons, the length of the hull-82 m, width-19 m. The evpatiy Kolovrat icebreaker can reach speeds of up to 14 knots.
