A few new icebreakers designed by Aker Arctic, which is being built by the Russian Vyborg Shipyard, will use the generator set provided by Wärtsilä as its main power. The two icebreakers under construction were built for Gazprom Neft, Russia's third-largest oil producer based in St. Petersburg. The power equipment contract was signed between Wärtsilä and the Ruselprom Group in October. 
It is reported that the two newly constructed icebreakers will operate under Arctic conditions with outside temperatures as low as minus 50 ° C and ice thicknesses up to 2 m. Due to these challenging operational considerations, the reliability and overall efficiency of the Wärtsilä engine is a key consideration in signing the contract. The effective operation of the Wärtsilä engine under such low air intake conditions will provide the basis for an Arctic package solution.
Wärtsilä's equipment for each icebreaker includes two 16-cylinder and two 8-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 engines and one six-cylinder Wärtsilä 20 engine. The delivery period to the shipyard begins in the summer of 2016.
After the completion of construction in 2017, the two icebreakers will operate in Porto Novi, northern Russia.
