The project is expected to be accomplished in a total of 29 months, including its delivery to Mrmansk, the northwest port of Russia.
The floating port, expected to carry around 30,000 tonnes of load and a crew of 30, will escort ice-breakers transporting crude hydrocarbons in Arctic conditions throughout the year.
The price of the contract signed between Atomflot and the Kuzey Star Shipyard for the building of a floating port, which will back the vessels that can break up to 3 meters of ice in the Arctic, was announced as five billion roubles ($69 billion ).
