Concern over icebreaker cover

摘要

Atomflot,Russia’s state-owned nuclear-powered icebreaker operator,is strug-gling to place orders for more vessels to service Arctic routes. Rosatom,the federal nuclear agency of which Atomflot is a part, announced a new tender for two 60MW nuclear-powered icebreakers in Decem-ber.Two autumn tenders failed after the only bidder,St Petersburg’s Baltiysky shipyard,quoted a price that was too high for Rosatom.
