The Baltic Shipyard (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC) has successfully installed another enlarged block of sections of the living superstructure weighing about 300 tons on the universal nuclear icebreaker of Project 22220 Chukotka. This was reported by the company's press service.
After the completion of construction, it will be equipped with cabins, a wardroom, a dining room, recreation areas and other facilities for the crew.
The installed block is 22 m long, 25 m wide and 8.5 m high. It already has ventilation shafts, pipelines for general ship systems and other necessary equipment installed.
