FSUE “Rosmorport” icebreaker Kapitan Chadaev carried out the first pilotage operation of the winter season 2020-2021 in the seaport of Arkhangelsk. The operation took place on December 14.

During the winter navigation period, pilotage services in the FSUE “Rosmorport” Arkhangelsk Branch seaports will be provided by four icebreakers: Kapitan Chadaev, Dikson, Kapitan Kosolapov, and Kapitan Evdokimov.
