On September 22, under a spray of champagne, the St. Petersburg Baltiyskiy Zavod launched the nuclear-powered icebreaker Sibir (Project 22220) equipped with the Ruselprom electric propulsion system. The world's newest and largest 170-meter giant is able to easily cut through three-meter ice and lead floating caravans. The nuclear powered vessel is one third ready - the hull has been formed, the main equipment has been loaded. The ship will be finished afloat. With the help of a crane, the chains for the gigantic anchors are unwound. On the tracks of the largest slipway in Russia, along which, as if from a hill, the icebreaker will move into the Neva, a special composition has already been applied - a stick. This paraffin / petroleum jelly mixture will allow the boat to slide smoothly along the wooden walkway into the water. By the slipway, where "Siberia" stands, families of workers gather by tradition. This is a real holiday. The body of the nuclear-powered ship - and this is 16 thousand tons - is held on land only by a metal beam. The moment when the icebreaker touches the water is considered his baptism. "Siberia" is the first serial nuclear-powered ship of project 22220, the project also includes "Arctic" and "Ural". These are the largest and most powerful icebreakers in the world. They are capable of breaking through ice three meters thick. The hull of the nuclear-powered ship "Ural" is still under construction. At the Leningrad Electric Machine Building Plant of the "Ruselprom" concern, they have already started assembling a set of propeller motors for this vessel. The lead icebreaker "Arktika" has been launched and is being completed. He already has a captain - Alexander Spirin. Once he began his naval career with work on the former "Arctic" - the legendary nuclear-powered ship, which was the first in the world to reach the North Pole. And now he will be the captain of the new "Arctic". These machines are completely domestic. "Arctic", "Siberia" and "Ural" are being built by the whole of Russia. “It was a very hard work for our suppliers. This is due to the fact that a number of enterprises literally from scratch began to grow those competencies that they once had. For example, an electric propulsion system * was built in Russia for the first time. An electric motor with a capacity of 20 megawatts for a ship solution was built for the first time, "- said Alexei Rakhmanov, President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation. Важное преимущество ледокола — возможность работы как в открытом океане, так и в устьях сибирских рек. Конструкция судна двухосадочная. Набрав в балластные цистерны воды и осев на два метра, такое судно становится тяжелым ледоколом. Подойдя к устью реки и слив балластную воду, судно подвсплывает и может работать как мелкосидящий ледокол. У России колоссальные планы по развитию арктической зоны, и новые ледоколы — это шаг на пути к освоению высоких широт. Идея в том, чтобы сделать наш Северный морской путь "глобальной транспортной артерией", работающей круглый год. Сейчас мировые транспортные потоки между Азией и Европой идут мимо России – через Суэцкий канал, но ведь Севморпуть вдвое короче. Пока же через Суэц проходят по 20 тысяч судов в год, а сквозь нашу Арктику — лишь несколько десятков штук. Российские ледоколы изменят это соотношение в нашу пользу. Сокровенная мечта русских моряков о круглогодичной навигации по Северному морскому пути сбывается на наших глазах. ________________ *система электродвижения для атомных ледоколов проекта 22220 разработана и произведена на производственных площадках концерна "Русэлпром", прим. ред. 8 (800) 301-35-31, 8 (495) 788-28-27 Присоединяйтесь к общению Пресс-центр Новости концерна Мнение эксперта О нас в СМИ О компании Компания в лицах Наши ценности Наш бизнес Производственные мощности ЛЭЗ СЭЗ ВЭМЗ NIPTIEM Electromash Engineering Center Transformer SZEM © Ruselprom 2017.
