Georgiy Sedov (Russian: Георгий Седов) is an icebreaking platform supply vessel operated by Rosmorport in the Sea of Azov. She was built by Kværner Masa-Yards in Helsinki, Finland, in 1998 as Antarcticaborg (Kazakh: Антарктикаборг) for Wagenborg Kazakhstan to be used in the Caspian Sea.

Antarcticaborg and her sister ship, Arcticaborg, were the first full developments of the double acting ship concept and among the first icebreakers equipped with Azipod propulsion units.
