The tugboat "Motorist Kazakovtsev" (project TSC.395M) was launched at the Cherepovets Shipbuilding Plant. This was reported by the press service of the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK)
The TSC-395M project provides for the construction of 5 tugs for GTLK. The first 2 vessels were delivered in 2024, the remaining 2 are planned to be accepted in 2025.
Thanks to its power of 1300 hp, "Motorist Kazakovtsev" can simultaneously tow more than 8 barges. The tug is equipped with a lifting wheelhouse to improve visibility when piloting long convoys.
