    Northern Sea Route. Rosatom’s Marine Operations Headquarters GlavSevmorput escorted the largest-ever container carrier in the history of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The 294m long 4,843 TEU vessel, Flying Fish 1, left the port of Saint Petersburg for the Chinese port of Qingdao, carrying a total of 40,966 tonnes of cargo. “The navigation route for the container ship was developed at GlavSevmorput, taking into account its size and the ice conditions, both existing and forecast at the time of passage. The container ship successfully passed over the Northern Sea Route in almost six days with an average speed of 15.5 knots,” says Sergey Zybko, the head of GlavSevmorput. Another container carrier, NewNewStar (231 meters long, 3,534 TEU), passed over the NSR in September. Container ships of this size had not traveled the route before.
    Rooppur NPP. Rosatom’s Research Institute for Instrumentation Engineering (SNIIP) shipped components for the lower- and upper-level instrumentation and control (I&C) systems to be installed at Rooppur Units 1 and 2 in Bangladesh. These are control channels for the automated radiation monitoring systems, which are designed to measure volume activity of emissions, radioactive inert gasses, and iodine. The control channels are made in the form of stands, a solution developed specially for the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. In addition, about 300 individual dosimeters and a set of filter holders will be shipped to Bangladesh by the end of the year. Rosatom is building a nuclear power plant with two VVER-1200 reactors in Bangladesh.
    Professional skills. The 4th International Construction Championship was held in Yekaterinburg with support from Rosatom.

They competed in 34 individual and team nominations, including four nominations for the disabled. The championship also comprised an extensive business program with over 250 events. At the exhibition, Rosatom presented its interactive booth for the visitors to take a virtual tour to the construction sites of nuclear facilities.
