It looks pretty cool. They say 2028 delivery so in Russia that probably means 2031 or so...

Mr. rd77. you know better from Rotterdam. But to your chagrin, the ship will be built on time

I hope to be pleasantly surprised, and 4 years is a reasonable time schedule. I was just looking at the build times of the large icebreakers and those were all delayed ;-)
