Specialists from the Vympel Design Bureau, part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), have developed a conceptual design for a new river ferry, project 00640. This was reported by the USC press service.
Specialists from the Vympel Design Bureau have developed a conceptual design for a new river ferry, project 00640. The project aims to address the critical wear and tear of the existing river ferry fleet operating on Russia's inland waterways, most of which are over 50 years old.
Ferry 00640 is designed based on the "modular platform" principle. This allows it to be adapted to the specific needs of the customer. To reduce costs with low passenger traffic, it is possible to build a cheaper version of the vessel without a passenger cabin. To improve consumer qualities, air conditioning, vending equipment, and other options can be installed.
The new ferry combines simple design, low construction cost, and ease of operation. In the basic version, the vessel is equipped with a diesel-mechanical power plant that is easy to maintain and repair. The project also provides for the possibility of creating a version with electric propulsion on rechargeable batteries for inner-city and suburban crossings.
Electric motors will be powered by rechargeable batteries, which are recharged from berthing facilities during loading and unloading. This solution will eliminate harmful emissions within the city limits and reduce energy consumption.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the marine terminal in the Kaliningrad region received the ferry "Antey" from St. Petersburg.
