Nordic Yards’ design bureau has developed a project of an Arc8 ice-class container ship capable of carrying up to 1,400 containers and sail in the two meter-thick ice, head of Nordic Yards Russian office Vladimir Bazhenov said.
Actually, this container, Bazhenov said, is an ice-breaker, which can be operated 10 months a year on the Northern Sea Route.
Besides, the company has developed the project of a 13MW coal carrier, designed for coal transportation in northern latitudes. Nordic Yards sees Russian mining companies as potential buyers of this type of vessel.
Nordic Yards has two production locations in Germany - Rostock-Warnemünde and Wismar. The company specializes in the construction of offshore platforms, ice-class vessels, ferries and passenger ships.
