From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sevmorput is a nuclear-powered merchant vessel constructed in the Kerch (Ukraine) at Zaliv plant. It was named for "Sevmorput": the home base of the Soviet Union's nuclear fleet dockyard.
Construction of the vessel was undertaken in 1983, but its launch did not take place until 1988.
It is classified as a Lash-Carrier, hauling lighters and container cargo.
