in the 2000s, russia began renewing the state-owned icebreaker fleet that, at the time, consisted mainly of soviet-era vessels dating back to the 1970s and 1980s. in july 2004, the saint petersburg-based baltic shipyard won an international tender for the construction of two 16-megawatt diesel-electric icebreakers for rosmorport, a state-owned company established in 2003 to manage russia's port infrastructure and operate its fleet of diesel-powered icebreakers. these icebreakers, "moskva" (delivered in 2008) and "sankt-peterburg" (2009), were the first non-nuclear icebreaker built in russia for over three decades and the first new icebreakers ordered following the dissolution of the soviet union.
