According to the Portal of state bodies of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, the ships delivered 14 thousand tons of cargo - this is general cargo, construction and other materials for the implementation of large infrastructure projects, as well as industrial goods and products. Now at the port they are unloading the "Inzhener Trubin" and "Polar King" motor ships.

The lead universal nuclear icebreaker "Arktika" brought the motor ship "Polar King" to the port of Pevek.  This is the third ship that has escorted the world's most powerful nuclear icebreaker to the most northern city of Russia.  Polar King delivered equipment and materials for the key regional development project - Baimsky GOK.  It has four thousand tons of cargo and containers of individual entrepreneurs on its board, Governor Roman Kopin said on his Instagram page.
