By the order of Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IO RAS), Nordic Engineering has developed design documentation for repair works as part of modernization of research vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh. The modernization is scheduled for 2022-2024, according to the company.
The technical design for the ship modernization has been approved by Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. The list of completed works includes detection of defects of the ship hull and cableware, preliminary cost estimation and scheduling of modernization works.
