Construction of the lead icebreaker of Project 10510 "Lider" continues at the Zvezda shipbuilding complex in Bolshoy Kamen, Primorsky Krai. According to the current schedule, the vessel is planned to be launched in March 2028, and delivery to the customer is expected at the end of 2029. This was reported by FSUE Atomflot (part of the Rosatom State Corporation).
The icebreaker "Rossiya" will become the most powerful nuclear icebreaker in the world. Its shaft power will be 120 MW, which is more than double the performance of several existing nuclear-powered icebreakers. The vessel's length will approach 210 meters, and its width will reach 47.7 meters.
Atomflot noted that the commissioning of the new icebreaker will expand the capabilities of the Northern Sea Route and support the development of the Transarctic transport corridor. The vessel is being created for year-round navigation of large-capacity vessels along complex Arctic routes.
Today, the Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet comprises eight operational nuclear-powered icebreakers, including the icebreakers "50 Let Pobedy", "Yamal", "Taymyr", "Vaygach", as well as modern Project 22220 vessels – "Arktika", "Sibir", "Ural", and "Yakutiya".
At the same time, the construction of new Project 22220 nuclear icebreakers – "Chukotka", "Leningrad", and "Stalingrad" – continues at the Baltic Shipyard.
