Saint Petersburg, 11/22/2022 (c) sam7 / forums.airbase.ruThe ceremonies at the Baltic Shipyard were attended by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Victoria Abramchenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Georgy Poltavchenko, CEO of Rosatom State Corporation Alexey Likhachev, CEO of the Baltic Shipyard Alexey Kadilov, Acting CEO of FSUE Atomflot Leonid Irlitsa.
During the ceremony, Denis Manturov said that by the end of the year Rosatom should conclude a contract with the Baltic Plant for the construction of two more nuclear icebreakers of the 22220 project.
From the bmpd side, we point out that the Ural is the third built nuclear icebreaker of project 22220 (LK-60YA). Its construction was carried out under a contract signed on May 29, 2014 by Baltic Shipyard LLC with the state corporation Rosatom for the construction of two serial nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220 (LK-60YA) for FSUE Atomflot with a total cost of 84.4 billion rubles. The first icebreaker under this contract (and the second in the series) "Siberia" (construction number 05707) was laid down at the Baltic Shipyard on May 26, 2015, launched on September 22, 2017 and commissioned on December 24, 2021.
The laying of the next icebreaker under this contract "Ural" (construction number 05708) was carried out at the Baltic Plant on July 25, 2016. The launch was made on May 25, 2019, and on October 14, 2022, the Ural entered factory sea trials.
Earlier, the Baltic Plant carried out the construction of the main universal nuclear icebreaker "Arctic" (construction number 05706) of project 22220 (LC-60YA) under a contract worth 36.959 billion rubles with the state corporation "Rosatom" for FSUE "Atomflot", concluded on August 20, 2012. The lead icebreaker Arktika was laid down on November 5, 2013, launched on June 16, 2016, entered factory sea trials on December 12, 2019, and the acceptance certificate of the icebreaker Arktika was signed on October 21, 2020 in Murmansk.
The developer of project 22220 is PJSC "Central Design Bureau "Iceberg". The icebreakers of Project 22220 are equipped with a two-reactor nuclear power plant of a new type RITM-200 with a shaft capacity of 60 MW developed by JSC Afrikantov OKBM and are the largest and most powerful icebreakers in the world. The length of the icebreaker of this project is 173.3 meters, the width is 34 meters, the draft along the structural waterline is 10.5 meters, the minimum working draft is 8.55 meters. The displacement is 33.54 thousand tons.
According to the terms of the contracts, the construction of the main icebreaker "Arctic" was to be completed by December 30, 2017, the icebreaker "Siberia" - in December 2019, and the third icebreaker "Ural" - in December 2020. However, subsequently, as a result, the deadlines for the delivery of the icebreakers "Siberia" and "Ural" were postponed, and in fact serial vessels are handed over two years late.
In August 2019, Baltic Plant JSC received a contract worth about 100 billion rubles for the construction of the fourth and fifth universal nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220 (LK-60YA). The deadline for the delivery of icebreakers, which are named "Yakutia" and "Chukotka", is scheduled for 2024 and 2026.
The nuclear icebreaker Yakutia (construction number 05709) under this contract was laid at the Baltic Plant JSC on May 26, 2020, and is now launched, and the nuclear icebreaker Chukotka (construction number 05712) was laid there on December 16, 2020.
