    The project to create infrastructure for deployment of a floating power unit in Pevek gets green light from Glavgosexpertiza

    Rosatom’s Hydrographic Enterprise was named as the project developer

    Russia’s Main Department of State Expertise (Glavgosexpertiza) has issued a positive opinion on the project to create infrastructure for the deployment of new generation floating power units (MFPU). The MFPUs will be part of a marine terminal project at Cape Nagleinyn, the Port of Pevek, on the Northern Sea Route. The approval is registered in the Unified State Register of Expert Opinions, Glavgosexpertiza said.

    The Federal State Unitary Enterprise Hydrographic Enterprise (part of Rosatom State Corporation) is the Developer of the project. The documentation was prepared by Atoll Research Institute, Petrokhim-Technology Design Institute, Vector Innovation Center, Ecosky, Navigator SPb, Atomenergomash, and Global Port Engineering.

    The upgraded FPU was designed to generate and supply electricity as part of the infrastructure, including onshore hydraulic engineering and technological structures. The FPU will supply up to 106 MW of electricity to the onshore grid.

    PortNews has reported earlier that Rosatom is building a series of four modernized floating power units, which will supply power to the Baimsk ore zone. The series lead FPU should be deployed in the area of Cape Nagleinyn, Chaunskaya Bay, East Siberian Sea.

    Nevskoye Design Bureau was contracted by Rosatom State Corporation to develop the detailed construction documentation for the Project 20871 FPU.

    Nevskoye Design Bureau and Atomenergomash, Rosatom’s mechanical engineering division, signed an agreement on March 30, 2022, to develop a 3D model and detailed design documentation for the Project 20871 FPU.

    The Project 20871 floating power plant will be outfitted with RITM-200S reactor, developed by OKBM Afrikantov nuclear engineering company.

    The Project 20871 FPU is a berth-connected barge, with a multilevel superstructure. RS Class notation: KE (*) AUT2-ICS Berth-connected ship (S) floating power plant. The modernized FPU is intended for operation in Russia’s Far North and Far East.

    PortNews also reported that Russian government assigned in the 2024 federal budget in excess of RUB 8 billion for the construction of hydraulic engineering structures (HES) and dredging at Cape Nagleynin for development of the Baimskaya ore zone in 2024.

    The Glavgosexpertiza of Russia issued a positive conclusion last month on the construction of a marine terminal in the seaport of Pevek, in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug for the shipment of products from the Baimsky Mining and Processing Plant. Prior to the project, Russian government authorized the port territory expansion through adding additional land and water basin near Cape Nagleynin in the Chaunskaya Bay. The terminal commissioning scheduled for 2026, will contribute to the development of a year-round cargo traffic on the Northern Sea Route (NSR).
