Rosmorport has announced an electronic auction for the replacement of a foreign diesel generator on the icebreaker "Kapitan Chadayev" (Project 1105), which is part of the fleet of the Arkhangelsk Directorate of the Arctic Basin Branch. The contract value is estimated at 10.5 million rubles. This is stated in the tender materials in the Unified Information System in the field of procurement.

Applications for participation are accepted until September 17, and the results will be announced on September 18, 2026. The work must be completed by October 30 in the port of Arkhangelsk.
