Presumably the same type of propulsion units would be installed on the planned quad-azimuth port #icebreakers that are... *ahem* inspired by our #ARC124 design.
The 2019-built Ob has four 3,000-kilowatt ABB Azipod ICE 1400 type propulsion units.
We called them "kettlebells".

Sudostroenie's article included a rendering from another angle which clearly shows how the new #icebreaker is a carbon copy of our #ARC124 design.

For the record, this is the #ARC124 design we developed about ten years ago. I was personally the chief designer in this project.
Oh well, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness...

The United Shipbuilding Corporation is developing a diesel-electric port #icebreaker with four azimuthing propulsion units to ensure year-round navigation in the Arctic.
I presume any resemblance to our #ARC124 design is purely coincidental.

I think the aft wheelhouse is still the one the Russian designers copied from our #ARC124 design — the geometry is different from the forward part — but perhaps it has been moved a bit further aft to improve the field of view "over the shoulders".

One thing that keeps bugging me with the 21900M2 is the aft wheelhouse. They copy-pasted it from our Aker #ARC124 design line-by-line in AutoCAD and then pushed it too far between the engine casings so the field of view from the aft steering position is very limited.

...and if you need a sub-6,000-tonne #PolarClass3 #icebreaker that can turn on a dime and leave a nickel change while breaking 1.5-metre (5 ft) ice, give us a call and let's discuss how the #ARC124 design could meet your #icebreaking needs!
It also comes in red... 😅

Four-wheel drive? Engines operating at variable speed? Didn't we do it quite a while ago? 🤔

Big fuel savings from the ‘four-wheel drive of the sea’
New designs of offshore support vessels are paving the way for explorer yachts to follow, with far greater manoeuvrability for ice class operations

Atomflot's port #icebreaker Ob left its summer moorings in Murmansk last week for "DRILLING POINT". After drifting in the Kara Sea for a few days, it returned to the Kara Gates to intercept Gazprom's drilling jack-up Arcticheskaya.

#ARC124

The Double Acting Ship (DAS) principle was developed by our predecessor, Kværner Masa-Yards Arctic Technology Centre (MARC), in the early 1990s.
The #icebreakers in the @ABBMarine video are also inspired by our highly efficient Aker #ARC130 and Aker #ARC124 designs.

Two icebreakers have also arrived in the Gulf of Ob for the winter season: Project 21900 diesel-electric #icebreaker Sankt-Peterburg and the Aker #ARC124 port icebreaker Ob.

Vyborg Shipyard, which has previously built two Project 21900M series #icebreakers (as well as three other #icebreaking ships based on our Aker #ARC130A and Aker #ARC124 designs), submits the only bid for Rosmorport's new Project 21900M2 #icebreaker.
