New icebreaker. In late January, the fifth Project 22220 nuclear-powered icebreaker, Leningrad, was laid down at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg. Rosatom is working on upgrading its nuclear icebreaker fleet to meet the growing cargo traffic on the Northern Sea Route. Two more Project 22220 icebreakers, Yakutia (scheduled for commissioning in late 2024) and Chukotka (to be ready in December 2026), and a flagship Project 10510 nuclear icebreaker Rossiya (2027) are currently under construction. In 2023, transit cargo traffic on the Northern Sea Route reached a record high of 2.1 million tonnes.
