Shipyard construction work

Shipyard construction work. Construction workers looking down the side of an icebreaker ship being constructed in a shipyard. The chains on the side of the ship are part of the anchor chain. Icebreakers have reinforced hulls and are used to break through sea ice and open up passageways for other ships. This ship is the icebreaker Moskva. It is being built in the Baltiysky Zavod shipyard in St Petersburg, Russia. This was the first diesel-electrical icebreaker to be built here in the last 32 years. Previously, Russia's non-nuclear-powered ships were built abroad. Photographed in May 2007.
