A Russian-Chinese joint venture New New Shipping expects the first 4,400-TEU ARC7 class containership to be commissioned in 2027, reports Barents Observer of Kirkenes, Norway.
As Rosatom commissions more nuclear-powered icebreakers, prospects are becoming more realistic for commercial container transport from China to Europe via the Arctic.
It was last year the New New Shipping established tied up with Rosatom aimed to explore a future boost along the Northern Sea Route.
On Wednesday the two partners met again in a dedicated session about Arctic shipping at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. Rosatom is one of the two main partners sponsoring the Economic Forum.
At stage during the St Petersburg forum came Vyacheslav Ruksha, deputy director of the Northern Sea Route Directorate. He has a background as head the nuclear icebreaker fleet in Murmansk.
Rosatom has appointed the company's Arctic representative, Vladimir Panov, to lead the implementation of the cooperation with China. Mr Panov is also deputy chairman of Russia's State Commission for the Development of the Arctic.
"We are currently working on issues of placing orders for the design and construction of Arc7 ice-class container ships with a capacity of 4,400 TEU," Mr Popov told Interfax at the St Petersburg Forum.
