Specialists from the Baltic Shipyard (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC) loaded the main turbogenerator of the starboard side onto the universal nuclear icebreaker Chukotka of Project 22220.
The unit is part of the steam turbine installation, a key element of the vessel that provides electricity for all the icebreaker's systems, including the propulsion system.
The loading was carried out in stages using a floating crane. Over several days, the turbine, generator, condenser, and other components were loaded onto the icebreaker.
After installing the elements in their regular places, specialists began mounting the turbogenerator on the foundation. The process will be fully completed in a few months.
The universal nuclear icebreaker Chukotka is the fifth vessel of Project 22220 (the fourth serial one), which is being built at the Baltic Shipyard USC by order of the state corporation Rosatom.
