Изучит глубины Мирового океана: как строится ОИС «Алмаз» проекта 22010

USC shared details on the progress of completing the oceanographic research vessel "Almaz." According to the USC press service, the "Yantar" shipyard has already completed the loading of oversized equipment onto the vessel. Currently, it is being installed, and preparations are underway to close the construction certificates.

Inside, 99% of the internal spaces have been insulated, primary painting has been completed both inside and outside, and work has begun on equipping the cabins and installing sanitary units. The crane and the stern U-shaped frame have been installed and mounted. USC specialists have fully completed sandblasting, painting, and priming of the exposed parts of the hull and superstructure. Electrical installation work on the main cable of large cross-section is 100% complete, and on the cable of medium cross-section — 85%.

Specialists from USC "Arktika" are also working on this project. They have installed and connected 3,000 units of equipment out of 11,500.

In March 2025, the "Almaz" research vessel is scheduled to begin the pre-berthing period, in June the mooring trials should begin, and closer to December 2025 — the sea trials. The official delivery date of the order is November 2026.

Project 22010

Project 22010, code name "Kryuys" — oceanographic research vessels with unlimited navigation area, designed for research of the World Ocean and solving a number of other tasks. The project was developed by the Central Marine Design Bureau (CMDB) "Almaz" in St. Petersburg. The lead ship of the project, "Yantar", was received by the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2015.

Little is known about the characteristics of the project's vessels:

• displacement — 5.2 thousand tons;
• length — 108.1 meters;
• width — 17.2 meters;
• full speed of the ship — 15 knots;
• crew — from 50 to 60 people;
• ship's propulsion system — two propeller-rudder columns with fixed-pitch propellers, two thrusters and four diesel generators of 1600 kW each.

It is also known that the ship of the project can work with two manned autonomous deep-sea vehicles of project 16810 "Rus" and project 16811 "Consul". They are capable of descending to a depth of up to 6000 meters and 6270 meters, respectively. "Rus" and "Consul" have a resource of up to 500 dives to a depth of more than 4000 meters and 1000 dives to a depth of up to 4000 meters.

These vehicles can carry out underwater technical work using a manipulator device, inspect underwater objects and structures. If necessary, they can deliver various objects weighing up to 200 kg to the ground or raise them to the surface.

Also, according to some data, the research vessels of project 22010 can be equipped with deep-sea vehicles "Mir".
