The "Sevmorput" nuclear-powered container ship will perform minimum three voyages a year along the Northern Sea Route starting from 2022.  This was announced on Wednesday by the General Director of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) Alexei Rakhmanov.

"From June 2022, the Sevmorput nuclear-powered lighter carrier must make minimum three voyages a year," Rakhmanov said, speaking at an expanded meeting at the State Historical Museum.
