Project 90600
Project 90600 tugs are being built at the Leningrad Shipyard "Pella". These are steel single-deck vessels with a midships location of the wheelhouse and an aft location of the engine room. They have ice reinforcements of the hull and propeller-rudder group, therefore they can even navigate in rarefied ice with a thickness of level ice up to 0.8 m.
Tugs of this project are designed for:
- performing towing and berthing operations in the port, at roadsteads and in coastal areas;
- refloating ships and vessels;
- fire fighting and oil spill response.
Also, according to the Ministry of Defense, vessels of Project 90600 can perform"other functions".

- length overall, m - 25.4;
- width overall, m - 8.8;
- draft, m - 3.9;
- bollard pull, t - at least 23;
- propulsion complex - 2 CRP with ducted propellers;
- main engine, kW - 2 x 735;
- speed, knots - about 11.5;
