EnergoFront will supply equipment for two new serial icebreakers of Project 22220
7 May 2020
August 23, 2019 – FSUE Atomflot and JSC Baltic Shipyard signed an agreement to carry out work on the construction of the third and fourth serial universal nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220.
The construction of serial universal nuclear icebreakers is a necessary condition for the development of the Northern Sea Route and increasing the cargo flow along it to 80 million tons per year by 2024, as well as ensuring safe year-round navigation.
Providing year-round icebreaker support will make it possible to implement large infrastructure projects logistically connected with the port of Pevek, where the FPU Akademik Lomonosov will be based.
The delivery dates for serial nuclear-powered ships are December 2024 and December 2026, respectively.
JSC “Baltic Plant” is already building the lead and two serial universal nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220. They are named “Arctic”, “Siberia”, “Ural”. Construction of the lead nuclear icebreaker “Arktika” will be completed in 2020.
EnergoFront together with JSC HMS Livgidromash continues its active participation in the construction of serial icebreakers. At the beginning of May, a contract was signed with JSC Kirov-Energomash Plant, manufacturer of the PTU-72 steam turbine unit, for the supply of further feed and circulation pumps complete with an electric drive for the third and fourth serial universal nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220.
EnergoFront and JSC HMS Livgidromash have already supplied similar pumping units for the lead, first and second serial nuclear-powered ships.
Currently, specialists from the Service Department of our company are conducting active commissioning work on the supplied equipment on the lead icebreaker “Arktika”. Sea trials of the icebreaker are scheduled for June 2020.
With wishes of a reliable partnership,
EnergoFront team #FrontProject
