The Iceberg Central Design Bureau launched the development of the Project 18290 instrumentation system vessel in 2015, according to the latest annual report by the company, published on the Corporate Information Disclosure Center‘s website.
The future Project 18290 is intended to replace Project 19141 ships pictured here.
     
"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."
