The Vympel Design Bureau, part of USC, has developed a concept for a universal dry cargo container ship of Project 00111 Belomorets. The domestic container ship in two versions is already being shown to potential customers. It will be able to transport goods through the White Sea-Baltic Canal.
According to USC, both versions of the vessel are designed to transport containers, including refrigerated, oversized, long and heavy cargo, grain and other bulk cargo, timber and lumber, metal in bundles and rolls, as well as dangerous goods.
They have one extra-long cargo hold with a length of 78.7 meters, the same length of 120 meters and a width of 13.4 meters. The bow superstructure and wheelhouse in both versions allow increasing the container capacity of the project to 244 TEU. However, they have differences in the "insides".
The Project 00111A has a fullness coefficient of 0.88, it is equipped with a single-shaft power plant with a three-feather steering device, which "has proven itself well in previously implemented projects".
Inside are domestic engines with a capacity of 1200 to 1600 kW. The dry cargo ship will be able to reach speeds of up to 11 knots. Its deadweight will be 2,800 tons on a draft of 3.6 meters in rivers and 5,050 tons on a draft at sea.
Project 00111B has an increased fullness coefficient of 0.93 and a twin-shaft power plant. It will be able to reach speeds of up to 10 knots. The deadweight of the dry cargo container ship in this case is also increased: 3,250 tons on a draft of 3.6 meters in rivers and 5,500 tons at sea.
