Akademik Tryoshnikov (Russian: Академик Трёшников) is a Russian scientific diesel-electric research vessel, the flagship of the Russian polar research fleet.

History[edit]

The vessel was constructed under the state order. The project was developed by Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute with Baltsudoproekt Bureau. The chief designer of the project was Yevgueny S. Bylinovich.[7]

The creation of the vessel became an event for the Russian Polar science since the previous research vessel had been put into operation 25 years ago.[8]

The ship is named in honor of Alexey Tryoshnikov,[5] who was the president of the Geographical Society of the USSR since 1977.

In October 2016, the ship was used to test towing icebergs in the Kara Sea.[9]

Between December 2016 and March 2017, the Akademik Tryoshnikov was used for the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition(ACE) during the Southern Hemisphere summer.[10]

In 2019-2020, the Akademik Tryoshnikov was supporting the MOSAiC Expedition.[11]
