The floating clinic of project 132PK was launched in Kolomna. The ship "Saint Luke", intended for medical purposes, was built by order of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra for the "Center for Occupational Pathology".
This is the only standard design of a medical vessel in Russia. After the completion of the tests, "Saint Luke" will proceed on its own to Belomorsk, and then to the place of operation.
The length of the vessel is 65 m, width is 10.8 m, the weight of the vessel with cargo is 740 tons, the height of the side is 3.2 m, speed is 21 km/h. There can be 12 crew members and 25 medical workers on board. Up to 50 people can be on the ship at the same time, not counting the crew and medical personnel.
The vessel can sail autonomously for 30 days without replenishing food supplies.
In October 2023, the keel-laying ceremony of a medical vessel intended to operate as a floating hospital took place on the territory of the production complex of JSC "Port Kolomna".
In October 2024, the assembly of the floating clinic hull was completed. Mooring and sea trials are scheduled for the period from June to August 2025. The transfer of the vessel to the customer should take place no later than September 30 of the same year.
It is expected that the floating clinic will set off on its first voyage in May 2026.
