The columns were designed by employees of NPO "Vint", and manufactured at the Vega plant. The equipment is designed in such a way as not to make significant changes to the technical design of the vessel. It is noted that the rudder propellers are not inferior to foreign analogues.

Before installation on the ship, the columns were tested in an experimental pool. The tests confirmed the reliability of the equipment. In addition, DRK1200M withstood the test of the Neva ice.
