Zelenodolsk Plant named after A. M. Gorky handed over two passenger hydrofoil ships of the "Meteor-2020" project to GTLK after signing the acceptance certificates.
"Meteor-2020" is designed to transport up to 120 passengers and is equipped with comfortable seats, access to multimedia content via Wi-Fi, a luggage compartment, and closed shelves for hand luggage.
The contract for the construction of the vessels was signed in December 2023 as part of GTLK's investment project using the National Wealth Fund to update the Russian water fleet.
"Meteor-2020" can accommodate up to 120 passengers and offers comfortable conditions en route: comfortable seats, Wi-Fi with access to multimedia, as well as a spacious luggage compartment and closed shelves for hand luggage.
The "Meteor-2020" passenger high-speed hydrofoil boat (project 03830) is certified for operation in conditions of waves up to 2 meters (class RRR - "O 2.0 1.4/1.4"). Thanks to innovative design solutions that distinguish it from previous models, the "Meteor-2020" accommodates 20% more passengers and has 20-30% improved seaworthiness.
Special attention is paid to the functional area for the work and rest of crew members. The vessel also provides all the conditions for the transportation of passengers with disabilities, special places and equipment for mothers with babies.
According to the developer, KB "Si Tech", a distinctive feature of the new hydrofoil vessel of project 03830 is an improved wing arrangement scheme, made according to the "duck" type. This scheme, with a load-bearing stern wing, surpasses the traditional "aircraft" scheme for Russia in a number of indicators. Key advantages include increased seaworthiness (the ability to overcome higher waves without additional stabilization), reduced overloads and amplitude of longitudinal rolling on waves. In addition, this scheme provides less power and time to reach the wings, and also simplifies the lifting of both wings for movement in shallow water or approaching undeveloped shores.
