New Generation Vessels of Advanced "Volga-Don Max" Project Presented by "MIC SPb"

Tests Confirmed High Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Hulls and Showed Fuel Savings of up to 2 Tons per Day

The company "MIC SPb" presented two new projects of universal vessels of the "Volga-Don Max" class: the T-140 oil tanker-chemical carrier and the ATM-140 universal dry cargo vessel. Developed using modern engineering approaches, they fully comply with all requirements of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS).

The vessels, designed taking into account the requirements of EEDI Phase 3, are equipped with engines that meet the IMO Tier III standard and are characterized by a reduced carbon emission coefficient. All this guarantees compliance with CII requirements and resistance to changes in the regulatory framework up to 2040.

Both projects were developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods, which made it possible to optimize the hydrodynamic characteristics of the hull. Model tests of the hull conducted in the experimental basins of the Krylov State Research Center (KGNTs) confirmed its high hydrodynamic characteristics, providing minimal water resistance, improved fuel economy (up to 2 tons per day compared to predecessor vessels), stable speed with reduced fuel consumption, reduced CO₂ emissions and operating costs.
