The shores of Sakhalin are being cleaned from sea scrap metal at Korsakov. Sunken ships are being scrapped for the first time using a unique Russian mobile laser complex.
The development of the Troitsk Institute of Innovative and Thermonuclear Research (JSC GNC RF TRINITI, part of the Rosatom State Corporation) has no analogues in Russia.
The use of the remote laser cutting method is primarily for safety - the container with the laser complex and the personnel are located up to 100 meters from the object. The mobile laser complex can be used to solve a wide range of tasks. It has no analogues on the market and allows to perform remote laser cutting when disposing of thick-walled structures, as well as to eliminate technological disasters and provide operational special technological work.
General Director of GNC RF TRINITI Kirill Ilyin
The first ship near Korsakov has already started to be cut under water 50 meters from the shore. After the sunken ship is cut into large parts, they are extracted to the land. Laser cutting continues, and the ship fragments are then sent for disposal.
In the next two years, the technology of the mobile laser will allow to dispose of another 16 sunken Russian ships.
