The agency wants an icebreaker and a tug to operate in the Yamal LNG field in Russia.

Vyborg’s first deputy CEO, Kirill Voroshilov, told reporters in St Petersburg that key terms are being completed.

Atomflot is the client and an agreement will also include Yamal LNG, he added.

No delivery dates were revealed, Interfax reported.

Vyborg Shipyard is now a part of Russian state holding company United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC).
