"The
work on the detail design of the Project 18290 instrumentation system
vessel began in October 2015," Iceberg’s annual report
says.
It adds that the contract for the development had been awarded in September
2014: "Twenty-two performance specifications were worked out,
22 contracts were placed in support of the detail design, and 347 documents
were drawn up" at the advanced vessel’s detail design
stage.
The Project 18290 vessel development program was designated as Booyer
(Russian for iceboat), according to the Corporate Information Disclosure
Center. Such a name may indicate that the new class will mainly sail
in the Arctic region. In addition to Iceberg, the Krylov State Research
Center is taking part in the development program. In particular, it
has participated in devising "technical solutions as part of
the development of an electric propulsion system to drive the propellers
of the Project 18290 instrumentation system vessel."
