Baltika was built by the Yantar Shipyard and Finnish shipyard Arctech Helsinki Shipyard Inc acted as its subcontractor. Baltika can move through 1 m thick level ice both ahead and astern and in oblique mode, creating a 50 m wide channel in 60 cm thick level ice. The multifunction icebreaking vessel is designed to carry out icebreaking operations, towing vessels and floating structures, escorting vessels, providing oil spill response, fire fighting, environmental monitoring and rescue operations. ICE MODEL BASIN KRYLOV STATE RESEARCH CENTER [ ] The ice model basin is one of Krylov State Research Center’s main attractions. This is the longest basin in the world - its length is 102 meters. It is designed for measuring global ice loads on floating and fixed offshore platforms, developing technologies to reduce ice loads on marine engineering structures that work on the continental shelf, as well as elaborating efficient icebreaker and ice-going vessel design techniques Large observation windows are mounted in the basin’s bottom to provide vision as well as video recording and photography from the bottom. In addition, there are two observation galleries along the sides of the basin: one for direct observation over movement of models from the top, the other – from under water and flank.

    CHAPTER 6 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SRA ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Preparatory Survey on the Project for Construction of Mykolaiv Bridge in Ukraine Final Report 6. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SRA ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 6.1 Environmental and Social Considerations 6.1.1 Project Components (1) Name The Project for Construction of Mykolaiv Bridge in Ukraine (2) Project Proponent The State Road Administration of Mykolaiv in Ukraine (Ukravtodor Mykolaiv) (3) Project Object The aim of the planned activity is to construct a highway river crossing over the Southern Bug River of city Mykolaiv cit;y. A highway river crossing including the bridge and approaches to it on the road M-14 Odessa – Melitopol – Novoazovsk (to Taganrog): beginning on the right bank of the Southern Bug River near the village Vesniane from M-14; end – on the left bank to the M-14 at the crossing with auto road P-06 Ulianovka – Mykolaiv. Construction of approaches to the bridge structures requires allocation of land for permanent use within the projected band allocation of the road. At present these lands are owned by individuals and legal entities. (4) Location Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe and is surrounded by seven countries; Romania, Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland in the west, Belarus in the north, and Russia in the east, as well as the Black Sea in the south. In order to exploit this geographical position, the Government of Ukraine established the “Comprehensive Program for Consolidation of Ukraine as a Transit Country for 2002-2010”, which was indicative of the importance attached to establishing international trunk roads providing new traffic systems for cross-border logistics.

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master- that's all."' On July 18, 1976, the 40,000-ton Soviet naval vessel Kiev, sporting a 600-foot flight deck2 and a complement of helicopters and fixed- wing aircraft,3 steamed into the Mediterranean after completing its transit of the Turkish Straits.4 The Montreux Convention, which governs transit of the Turkish Straits, limits the aggregate tonnage of all foreign naval forces in transit through the Straits to 15,000 tons.5 Only in the case of capital ships6 does it allow Black Sea powers to exceed this limit.7 Although the Convention's definition of capital ships includes cruisers, it specifically excludes aircraft carriers.8 Nevertheless, Istanbul's military port authorities ac- 1.
