The projected container ship with the capacity of 4800 TEU and the Arc7 ice class will be able to navigate independently through first-year ice of between 1.5 meters and 1.7 meters in the Arctic areas of the Northern Sea Route, reads a release of the United Shipbuilding Corporation.

“The architectural and structural solution, which we have chosen jointly with the client out of six variants of composition, propulsion system and fuel type, will have an optimal container capacity and performance and economic efficiency indicators,” said Boris Bogomolov, the corporation’s deputy general director for engineering.

The conceptual design includes a digital database that will allow using information modeling technology at the subsequent stages of the project.
