Project 03182 (code "Platform-Arctic", originally designated as Project 23310) is a new class of Russian Arctic supply ship for Navy, FSB & CG use. Russia's naval procurement strategy to fortify Moscow's designs on the Arctic include the new Project 21900 icebreakers and planned Project 22600 diesel electric and 2220 nuclear powered icebreakers, as well as Project 03182 multi-purpose tanker and Project 20180 armament support and logistics ships.
The Zelenodolsk Design Bureau in the framework of the Platform-Arctic theme created a multipurpose platform for a reinforced ice class vessel to support the concept of small-displacement Arctic ships for the transport of liquid cargo, dry cargo, discharged cargo and people, with the possibility of receiving helicopter equipment (including unmanned aerial vehicles devices) and performing rescue operations. The bureau approached this topic with a serious background in the development of the documentation package for the medium tanker of project 23130.
