History
The vessel was constructed under state order. The project was developed by Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute with Baltsudoproekt Bureau. The chief designer of the project was Yevgueny S. Bylinovich.[7]
The creation of the vessel became an event for the Russian Polar science since the previous research vessel had been put into operation 25 years ago.[8]
The ship is named in honor of Alexey Tryoshnikov,[1] the president of the Geographical Society of the USSR since 1977.
In October 2016, the ship was used to test towing icebergs in the Kara Sea.[9]
Between December 2016 and March 2017, the Akademik Tryoshnikov was used for the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) during the Southern Hemisphere summer.[10]
In 2019-2020, the Akademik Tryoshnikov was supporting the MOSAiC Expedition.[11]
