    Чили спустила на воду первый ледокол южноамериканского производства

    Судно водоизмещением около 13 тыс. тонн спроектировано совместно с канадской Vard Marines

    Первый ледокол, построенный в Латинской Америке, Almirante Oscar Viel, спущен на воду на государственной военно-морской верфи ASMAR в Талькауано (Чили) после пяти лет строительства, передает MercoPress.

    Almirante Oscar Veil заменит одноименный ледокол (6300 тонн), который находился в эксплуатации с 1995 по 2019 год и изначально принадлежал Канадскому ледовому патрулю. Отмечается, что строительство этого ледокола Polar Class 5 является престижным проектом для Чили и находится под контролем правительства.

    Представитель ВМС Чили заявил, что это «самый амбициозный проект» ASMAR с момента создания верфи в 1960 году. Новый  Almirante Viel имеет длину 111 метров, ширину 21 м и осадку 7,2 метра, а также водоизмещение около 13 000 тонн, что делает его крупнейшим судном, построенным ASMAR на сегодняшний день, и первым судном этого типа, построенным в Южной Америке.

    Местные СМИ передают, что ледокол может завершить оснащение к июлю 2023 года, портовые испытания должны начаться в декабре 2023 года, а ввод в эксплуатацию — в августе 2024 года, что даст время для подготовки к его первому развертыванию в декабре–марте (южное лето).

    Almirante Viel строится в рамках проекта «Антарктика I» стоимостью $215 млн по проекту канадской судостроительной компании Vard Marine, дочерней компании итальянской военно-морской верфи Fincantieri.

    Судно предназначено для научных исследований в Антарктиде, снабжения баз, наблюдения за морской зоной, спасательных и спасательных операций. Ледокол сможет разместить 35 ученых, а также 86 человек экипажа.

    Судно сможет проходить сквозь однолетний лед толщиной один метр со скоростью 2 узла, передает Maritime Executive.
