In the Tomsk region, the RDB 66.68MA project barge-platform was launched at the Samus Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Plant. The vessel is being built according to the Stapel RCPCB project by order of GTLK JSC for the benefit of the shipping company R-Trans TK LLC.
The RDB 66.68MA project has a number of key features that distinguish it favorably from other barges in this series. One of the main elements of the design is a stationary folding ramp with a lifting capacity of up to 70 tons, which allows the barge to operate even on undeveloped shores. The reinforced deck and special reinforcements ensure the possibility of transporting oversized heavy cargo and tracked vehicles weighing up to 70 tons, including full fuel tanks.
The barge has a variable carrying capacity depending on the class of the pool. In pools of categories "M", "O-PR", "M-PR" and "M-SP", it is 2,500 tons with a draft of 2.75 meters, and in pools of categories "L", "R" and "O" - 3,000 tons with a draft of 3.2 meters.
The vessel is designed for the transportation of mineral and construction cargo with the possibility of loading and unloading with grabs with a lifting capacity of up to 16 tons. The barge can also transport packaged and dangerous goods placed in factory containers or containers, as well as automotive equipment with an axle load of up to 16 tons and tracked equipment with a total weight of up to 70 tons.
The project is aimed at expanding the possibilities of river transportation, including in remote and poorly equipped regions, and meets modern requirements for load capacity and versatility.
