Rosmorport, responsible for maintaining Russia's waterways, is facing an acute shortage of specialized equipment. According to a statement by the company's CEO, Sergey Pylyin, six dredgers are lacking for the full implementation of dredging operations. These vessels are critical for maintaining depths on the Volga, the Volga-Caspian Sea Canal, and other waterways that ensure the operation of the international transport corridor "North - South."
The vessels available to the company are categorically insufficient to perform the entire required volume of dredging. Currently, the shortage is estimated at six dredgers.
The commissioning of the dredger "Nikolai Rusanov," which is already operating on the Volga-Caspian Canal, partially solves the problem. In addition, two similar vessels are being built in Astrakhan by the company "Stroyliderplus." Their completion is planned as part of the Rosmorport development program until 2028.
The technological side of the issue also deserves attention: modern dredgers, such as the "Rusanov," are equipped with milling equipment that allows for the efficient removal of bottom sediments without stopping navigation. However, even taking into account the new capacities, at least ten units of equipment will be required for work at key facilities by 2024.
