Overview

About This Vessel

Sovetskiy Soyuz (Russian: Советский Союз, IPA: [sɐˈvʲetskʲɪj sɐˈjus] ; literally: Soviet Union) was the fourth Russian Arktika-class nuclear-powered icebreaker operated by FSUE Atomflot. The ship, which is named after the Soviet Union, was built by Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad and entered service in 1990. She was decommissioned in 2014. In January 2016, it was reported that the icebreaker will be converted into a command ship. However, this was later retracted and the nuclear-powered icebreaker is now slated for scrapping.

A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 components we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
