The sea tug "Zhizhgin" was successfully lifted ashore in Arkhangelsk. The operation went smoothly thanks to good weather and careful preparation.
The professionalism and vast experience of our employees in the sea helped to bring this tug to the hydraulic structure and lift it ashore.
Previously, such vessels were repaired in floating docks. Usually, slipway lifts at this enterprise ended in December, but this year the winter was with frequent thaws, which allowed repairs to be carried out on land. The tug "Zhizhgin" will remain on the slipway until mid-April. This tug has a large draft.
We have a comprehensive maintenance and extensive repair to carry out.
The Arkhangelsk repair and operational base of the fleet plans to carry out a number of works on the tug: perform work on the ship's hull; repair the propeller-rudder complex; restore the operation of the main and auxiliary engines; repair the electrical system.
The tug "Zhizhgin" is part of the Arkhangelsk Commercial Sea Port fleet.
Earlier, engineers from the Vympel design bureau presented a concept for a new generation pusher tug, project 00443. This auxiliary vessel is designed to replace pushers of the OT-2400 and OT-2000 types, which were manufactured by Ganz Danubius Budapest.
