A spectacular accident in the icy karase Lake: the Russian nuclear breaker “50 Let Pobedy” bumped into a cargo ship on a rescue mission and was considerably damaged. The state reporting company plays the incident.
The Nuclear Flot in Murmansk, the Russian state reporting company, confirmed an incident, but only said that the ice breaker “50 Let Pobedy” had suffered damage to the bug when it was used “in the raw conditions of the North Pole area”. There was no question of the collision as a cause.
Video shows a crash of the huge ship
A video that is apparently filmed by the Bridge of the Ice Bridge shows how the massive ship tackles the cargo ship and roams on the side. The ice breaker had to free the stuck cargo ship from the ice, reported the Russian television station Ren.tv. Nobody was injured, said the State Tass news agency.
No danger to the two reactors on board
The “50 Let Pobedy” (50 years of victory) is still a seaworthy, for which two reactors and other systems have no danger. However, photos showed that the side wall was torn a few meters wide. The 159 meter long ship was put into use in 1993.
Nothing was announced in damage to the cargo ship “Yamal Krobet”. The Kara -Lake as part of the Arctic Army is located north of Russia between the island groups Nowaja Semlja and Serwerhaja Semlja.
