“After the additional equipment is completed, the class symbol of the Viktor Chernomyrdin icebreaker will contain the characteristic “Passenger ship” and it will be possible to transport passengers in the amount of 93 people,” the FSUE Rosmorport press service quotes TASS.

It is assumed that the icebreaker will be used for Arctic cruises.

On January 1, the lead nuclear icebreaker Arktika completed escort of ships to the port of Pevek in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
