Ice-class Tugboat Launched in Archangel Shipyard

Laysky Shipyard in Archangel, Russia, launches the 'Iskander' tugboat for delivery to Ecotek-Bunker after sea trials. The new tugboat will transport barges laden with coal, firewood, construction materials to remote areas of the Arkhangelsk region: Mezen, Kamenka, Onega, and to the Nenets Autonomous District. This is the second ice-class tug launched at Laysky Shipyard in the past eighteen months. The Laysky Shipyard is located in the Lay River estuary, a tributary of the Northern Dvina.
