The nuclear icebreaking fleet is the basis of the Russian Federation's national safety in the Arctic, and it plays the governing role in provision of shipping along the Northern Sea Route. Nuclear icebreakers are federal owned and their development is financed by the state budget. The government is actively pursuing development of nuclear icebreakers of the new generation with icebreaking capability of up to 3 m. The icebreaker is presently under detailed design conducted by the leading Russian companies (experienced in the design of the nuclear icebreakers of the previous generation) headed by JSC ‘Iceberg’. The Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute participates in the detailed design of a new universal nuclear icebreaker, finding solutions for essential issues. First of all, it relates to the development of an optimised shape for the hull in order to ensure unique icebreaking capabilities never achieved before by any other icebreaker in the world. The Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute investigates the other important issues.
