Using a hovercraft for destruction of ice is desirable because this type of vehicle makes possible a combination of transport and ice-breaking, and its all-terrain qualities facilitate year-round operation. The high speed of destruction of ice by hovercraft can effectively make an early opening of individual sections of rivers and reservoirs.
Taymyr (Russian: Таймыр, IPA:) is a shallow-draft nuclear-powered icebreaker, and the first of two similar vessels.She was built in 1989 for the Soviet Union in Finland, at the Helsinki Shipyard by Wärtsilä Marine, by order of the Murmansk Shipping Company.

These ships must cruise in cold water to cool their reactors [failed verification], so they cannot pass through the tropics to undertake voyages in the Southern hemisphere. [3]
