One such individual, maritime cadet Evgeny Butyaev, was a special guest at the naming ceremony of SCF Group (Sovcomflot)’s 3,000-dwt icebreaker Gennadiy Nevelskoy (built 2017) at Arctech Helsinki Shipyard.

Butyaev is in his fifth year of studies in electrical engineering at the Admiral Nevelskoy State Maritime University (MSUN), Vladivostok, in Russia’s Far East. The university and the ship are named in honour of the Russian navigator and polar explorer Gennady Nevelskoy (1813-1876).
