The cost of building two multi-function ice-class supply ships at Zvezda wharf is RUB 11.5 billion per vessel. In the beginning of September, Rosneft signed a contract to build two supply ships with the Far Eastern Center for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair with the option of building another two. The contracts were concluded in the development of an exclusive agreement signed by the parties in 2014, and involves the placement of orders for new maritime equipment and vessels at the facilities of the complex.

The delivery of the first vessel is scheduled for June 30, 2019, and the second for September 30, 2019. The multi functionality of these types of ships allows them to carry out a large array of tasks while carrying out shelf work for Rosneft in the northern seas.
