1. Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology & Environmental Monitoring (ROSGIDROMET) and Admiralty Shipyards signed a contract today for a new research expedition vessel R/V Ivan Frolov for the Arctic & Antarctic Research Institute (AARI).
@CovertShores @Capt_Navy @The_Lookout_N @KaptainLOMA @CislakJaroslaw @BuchananLiz @WendtWeiss 2. R/V Ivan Frolov will replace the existing R/V Akademik Fedorov built in 1987 by the Finnish company Rauma-Repola.
"The new R/V is necessary for the smooth operation of Antarctic expeditions. Our country has 5 year-round stations & 5 seasonal bases on the continent."
@CovertShores @Capt_Navy @The_Lookout_N @KaptainLOMA @CislakJaroslaw @BuchananLiz @WendtWeiss 3. "Current vessel that's delivering polar explorers & cargo to Antarctica is already becoming obsolete & soon will be "five in one": a tanker, an icebreaker, a passenger, cargo & scientific ship." - Alexander Kozlov, Minister of Natural Resources & Ecology of Russia.
