The Viktor Chernomyrdin is the largest diesel icebreaker.
It has 2 helipads, it can provide icebreaker support, participate in scientific expeditions, and transport containers.
Its length is 147 m, width - 29 m, cruising endurance - 60 days, power - 25 MW.
It is capable of moving in ice up to 2 m thick and performing icebreaking work in ice up to 3 m. ensuring navigation along the Northern Sea Route (NSR).

The world’s most powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika of project 22220 will become the lead of 5 ships of the new series: Sibir, Ural, Yakutia and Chukotka.
The new icebreakers can break up ice up to 3 m. It will be used to ensure year-round navigation along the NSR.
The ship’s variable draft can change from 10.5 to 8.55 m and allows them to navigate deep water and shallow water.
The length of each vessel is 173.3 meters, width - 34 meters, displacement - 33,500 tons, side height - 15.2 m, autonomy - 6 months.

Future nuclear icebreakers will have power and high autonomy, refueling once every 5 years, and for universal nuclear icebreakers currently under construction - once every 10 years.
This allows Russia to pilot vessels in heavy ice far from ports, at ultra-high latitudes.

The Novorossiysk is a diesel linear icebreaker.
It navigated the Gulf of Finland, the ports of Primorsk, Ust-Luga, St. Petersburg and visited the Arctic.
For 6 months, the Arctic and Antarctic Institute sailed this vessel, studying icebergs.

The Akademik Fedorov is still in use after 34 years.
Its hull can accommodate 200 people, a couple of helicopters and a large payload.
It circumnavigated the world 3 times, spent 6,693 days at sea, traveled 1,041,627 nm, and completed 41 voyages: 30 to Antarctica and 11 to the Arctic.
