Project 20180 tugboat

Project 20180 is a series of seagoing tugboats in service the Russian Navy.

History
The construction of Akademik Makeev has been beset by numerous delays as a result of sanctions on the Russian shipbuilding industry. Intended to be commissioned in 2021, the vessel has not yet been launched as of April 2024. These sanctions had also affected her sister ship Akademik Kovalev, with the vessel's commissioning being delayed by three months, and the Russian Ministry of Defence seeking compensation from Zvezdochka Shipyard for the delay.
