Three more vessels operating along the Northern Sea Route will be equipped with satellite communications provided by the Yamal system by early 2027.
According to the Roscosmos state space corporation, the satellite link will support not only internet access but also the transmission of correction data to onboard navigation equipment.
“This will allow ship captains to chart optimal routes and safely navigate around ice buildups,” Roscosmos said on its Telegram channel.
The technology was successfully tested in 2025 aboard the Akademik Golitsyn vessel.
