    4th MPSV07 class rescuer and salvage vessel has been delivered.
    http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/71150/

    Currently Russia has 6 new and relatively large rescuer and salvage vessels in operational readiness – four class MPSV07 vessels build in Nevsky Shipyard and two class MPSV06 vessels build in Nordic Yards Wismar. Recently Nevsky Shipyard got an new order of four class MPSV12 rescuer and salvage vessels. Also at Amur Plant there may or may not be one MPSV06 class vessel under construction.

    Atomflot is interested in prompt construction of new 120 MW Leader-class icebreaker (graphics)

    FSUE Atomflot is interested in prompt implementation of the project on construction of a nuclear-powered 120 MW Leader-class icebreaker of new generation designed by Krylov State Research Center in cooperation CDB Iceberg.

    The icebreaker is intended for round-the-year servicing of large capacity vessels along the entire Northern Sea Route. Economically efficient speed of about 10 knots is to be available in 2-meter thick ice.

    The conceptual design of the Leader-class icebreaker will be completed this year. In order to put the ship into operation in 2024, the development of the detailed design should be commenced in 2016 and take 3 years.

    This is said to be a type 901 replenishment ship. Displacement seems to be 55 0000 tons.

    Recent news.

    Multipurpose salvage vessel Murman leaves Wismar for Murmansk (photo)

    Multipurpose salvage vessel Murman, Project MPSV06, built by Nordic Yards Wismar GmbH (Germany) left for Murmansk on November 23, following the signing of acceptance/delivery certificate, IAA PortNews correspondent reports from the ship.

    http://en.portnews.ru/news/210382/

    I wonder when are Amur shipyard going to launch Spasatel Petr Gruzinskiy (MPSV06, the same class as the one mentioned above). They have been building it 5 years already but nothing has been seen or heard.

    Igor Sechin, Chairman of Rosneft’s Management Board, and Vladimir Tsybin, Acting Director General of Far Eastern Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Center, have signed contracts for supply of two multi-functional ice class ships. According to the official website for state procurement, initial (maximum) price of one contract is RUB 11.5 bln.

    A warhead of up to 100 megatons could produce a tsunami up to 500m (1,650ft) high, wiping out all living things 1,500km (930 miles) deep inside US territory

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34797252

    I have no doubt that if detonated at the right depth and at a right place a result would be a huge tsunami but there is no way it would be anything like that. Maybe it would be something like a one tenth of that.

    Keeping in mind anticipated increase in the freight traffic via the Northern Sea Route and in Arctic we are working on the design of the 120 MW nuclear leader icebreaker of the new generation logically evolving from the technologies already developed for the icebreakers of the earlier generations. We have explored a trimaran option of this vessel to ensure safe pilotage of the ships up to 60 m in breadth with higher energy efficiency. This innovative technology has been patented and in our opinion it will be highly demanded with the development of Arctic hydrocarbon export systems and increased freight traffic including transit.

    http://en.portnews.ru/comments/2031/

    Krylov Centre is not the only one designing trimaran icebreakers. Although Krylov is designing a much bigger trimaran icebreaker than Aker Arctic.

    Speaking of Nakhimov.

    Repair and modernization of large nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is underway at Sevmash shipyard (United Shipbuilding Corporation), the company says.

    The ship placed at the dry dock of Sevmash has undergone dismantling of obsolete equipment and is being prepared for installation of the new equipment. Abrasive blasting of the hull will be completed by the end of the year.

    Detailed engineering documentation for the repair works is developed by Severnoye Design Bureau OJSC (Saint-Petersburg) which designed the ship.

    As of today, about a thousand of shipyard employees are involved in the operations. The most intense repair period will require simultaneous work of over 3,000 employees, the statement says.

    That kind also explains why we most likely will not see Lazarev recommissioned – it would take too much work and it would become too expensive considering the age of the hull even if the hull itself would be in decent condition.
