The M/S Rossiya, a Russian river-passenger vessel to be modernized at Kvaerner Masa-Yards'

Turku New Shipyard.

Kvaerner Masa-Yards' Helsinki

Austrian Osterreichische

The new icebreaker has a shallow draft (only 6.5 feet). In spite of this, the vessel can break more than two- foot-thick level ice in continuous mode of operation. This is the result of extensive development work, done at Kvaerner Masa-Yards Arctic Re- search Center. The vessel will be equipped with two azimuthing elec- tric propulsion drives. The new "Azipod" propulsion system has been jointly developed by Kvaerner Masa-

Yards and ABB Industry in Finland.

The ice trails of the vessel will be made in the Baltic in winter 1995.

The icebreaker is about 139 feet long with a breadth of 33 feet.

The contract is worth about $4.3 million. Kvaerner Masa-Yards has also signed a contract with A/O

Rechflot for the modernization of a tourist and charter vessel, owned by the Moscow River Shipping Com- pany. The contract is worth nearly $5 million. The vessel to be modern- ized is the nearly 20-year old river- passenger vessel M/S Rossiya. The vessel has already arrived at the company's Turku New Shipyard, where the conversion will take place.

The contract covers the refur- bishment of the entire interior spaces. The luxury cabins, saunas and pantry will be replaced. The work will be completed during the spring of 1994. The M/S Rossiya is 274 feet long, with a breadth of 42 feet and draft of eight feet. She is able to travel at 15 knots.
