Sounding works 22 476 km of sounding works carried out by September 2013 (planned for 2013 34 600 km) Legend: sounding works 2011 sounding works 2012-2013 the main route of Northern sea route the alternate route of Northern sea route About 205 thousand kilometers of the survey planned to be done by 2019. As a result of sounding works in 2011 and 2012 the route to the North of the Novosibirsk Islands was surveyed, allowing the passage of vessels with deep (up to 15 m) draft; The sounding works allowed large-capacity tankers of Aframax class navigate in the water area of Northern sea route for the first time in history.

Universal Nuclear Ice-breaker
Nuclear ice-breaker of new generation Length overall DWL length Breadth overall DWL breadth 173,3 m 160,0 m 34,0 m 33,0 m Draught of the ice-breaker: for a long work on Northern Sea Route - 10,5 m for periodically work in shallow water - 8,7 m 1. Ice-breaker type: Universal nuclear turbo-electric ice-breaker with propulsion capacity on the shafts of 60 MW. 2. The purpose of universal nuclear ice-breaker: Leading convoys and single vessels year-round in the Western part of the Arctic. Ice-breaker assistance in the shallow parts of the Yenisei river (Dudinka) and the Gulf of Ob. Towing of ships and other floating facilities in ice and open water. Providing rescue operations in ice conditions and clear water. 3. Maximum thickness of the pack ice overcoming ice-breaker at speed of 1,5-2 knots at full capacity of power plant is 2.9 m 4. Autonomy and the cruising range: provisions - 6 months, the cruising range is unlimited. 5. The crew of ice-breaker - 75 people. 6. Lifetime 40 years. Due to the ability to change the draught, the new ice-breaker will be able to replace the «Arctic»-type ice-breakers and shallow-draught «Taimyr»-type ice-breakers. The keel of the first ice-breaker was laid in November 2012. In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 19, 2013 No. 715 State Corporation ROSATOM has allocated funds from Federal budget for construction of two more serial universal nuclear icebreakers.
