OREANDA-NEWS According to Kommersant, the cost of construction of the heavy-duty nuclear icebreaker "Russia" of project 10510 "Leader", which previously amounted to 128 billion rubles, may increase by 40-60%, and the timing of its construction may shift to the right. It is assumed that the icebreaker necessary for regular year-round navigation along the Northern Sea Route should be built at the Zvezda shipyard in 2027. According to Kommersant's sources, there are already delays in the production of large hull castings, the cost and timing of work on the production of individual parts of the icebreaker's nuclear power plant are growing.
The cost of the state contract for the construction of the main nuclear icebreaker "Russia" of project 10510 "Leader" may grow, and the deadlines for the delivery of the vessel for some hull works at the Zvezda shipyard (managed by a consortium of Rosneft, Rosneftegaz and Gazprombank) are already behind schedule, follows from the minutes of the meeting with Deputy Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Viktor Yevtukhov from 13 Martha (there is a “Kommersant”). According to the interlocutors of Kommersant, familiar with the discussion of the issue, we can talk about an increase in the cost of the state contract by 40-60%.
State contract worth 127.6 billion rubles. The contract for the construction of the main nuclear icebreaker "Russia" was signed in April 2020, its customer is Atomflot, the completion date is December 2027. An icebreaker with a capacity of 120 MW should provide year-round wiring of vessels along the Northern Sea Route with a commercial speed of 10-12 knots for the export of hydrocarbons to foreign markets. First of all, the icebreaker must ensure the year-round export of LNG from NOVATEK's Arctic projects in Yamal and Gydan.
By the end of April, Rosatom, based on Rosneft data, must submit a report to the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the increase in the cost and timing of work. At the same time, as follows from the protocol, Deputy Minister Yevtukhov stressed "the impossibility of disrupting the deadline". The question of the need to postpone the deadline, according to Kommersant, has already been brought to Vladimir Putin. In the office of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Kommersant reported that the issue has not yet been discussed in the government. Rosneft declined to comment.
