Russian Multi-Purpose Salvage Vessels

Russian Multi-Purpose Salvage Vessels (MPSV06) are a series of three icebreaking salvage vessels, one of which is being built in Russia and two that have been ordered from the German shipbuilder Nordic Yards Wismar.

The ice class of the vessels, assigned by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, is Icebreaker6. They will have two large cranes, for salvage, and a landing platform for helicopters. They will be capable of operating remotely operated underwater vehicles, and will have decompression facilities sufficient to support a team of deep divers.
