Recent advances in ship propulsion have produced new experimental icebreakers.

Even then, a new icebreaker will take a minimum of seven years to build, Admiral Yost said.

According to the Transport Ministry, Russia needs six new icebreakers in the future.

The new icebreaker is expected to enter service in November 2015.

The new icebreaker will have a crew of 38 and additional accommodation for 90 special personnel.

Voima had also cost considerably less than a new icebreaker with similar characteristics and performance.

The new icebreaker will be delivered in August 2015.

On 4 September 1906 a decision was made to order a new icebreaker even though no buyer had been found for the old Murtaja.

The newest and largest nuclear icebreaker at the time was ready for the Arctic.

The new multipurpose icebreaker was to be delivered in March-April 1998.
