Polar class yachts are also included in this initiative.
Alexei Mikhailov, Founder and CEO of Bering Yachts, reported that the primary focus at RMK facilities will be on the construction of superyachts over 40 meters and 500 GT.

Kristina Güner, Creative Director of Bering Yachts, stated that the agreement will enable the company to extend its approach to exploration yachting into larger projects.
In the company's statement, it was emphasized that RMK's experience with ice-class and polar-class vessels is aimed to be utilized in yachts developed for navigation in high latitudes. The projects will focus on long-range cruising capabilities, living spaces, comfort, and advanced ship systems.
