At the Amur Shipbuilding Plant of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), a solemn ceremony was held to raise the state flag of the Russian Federation on the new pontoon dock "Amurets" project 65911. The dock was built according to the project of the Almaz design bureau of the USC and became the first within the framework of the corporation's docking program.
The new pontoon dock is designed to transport ships and vessels under construction and repair from the dry docks of the plant to the outfitting pier, as well as to launch them. Its commissioning will significantly expand the plant's production capabilities: it will allow the removal of orders located in assembly shops and will provide maintenance for ships and vessels of greater displacement.
"Amurets" became the first pontoon dock built as part of the USC docking program. Let me remind you that the goal of the program is to create new and reconstruct existing floating and dry docks, hydraulic structures of the corporation. I note that the docking program gives us additional opportunities to fulfill the state defense order
According to him, it is extremely important for USC to fulfill its obligations under the delivery program in the interests of the Russian Navy.
The dock was designed using a digital information model. The design documentation created by the Almaz bureau contains complete information about all materials and components. This approach significantly reduces the time for interaction between designers and manufacturers, and also forms a solid scientific and technological base for future shipbuilding projects.
Main characteristics of the pontoon dock project 65911: designed to receive ships and vessels from the shore and launch them with a dock weight of up to 7,500 tons. The length of the structure is 130.4 meters, the width is 25.4 meters, the height of the side to the top deck is 15 meters. The maximum immersion depth is 13.9 meters, while the dimensions of the launched vessel can reach 140 by 18 meters.
