ОСК представила долгосрочные планы формирования флота освоения шельфа Арктики

USC also plans to build a new shipyard in Vladivostok

United Shipbuilding Corporation took part in the 17th International Exhibition and Conference on the Development of Oil and Gas Resources of the Russian Arctic and the CIS Continental Shelf RAO/CIS Offshore, where it presented approaches to the formation of a specialized fleet necessary for stable logistics and technological support of projects on the shelf.

The enterprises of the USC Group have mastered the construction of a wide range of vessels for servicing oil and gas fields, while the design bureaus of the corporation are working on vessels and floating facilities both at the request of customers and on their own initiative.

Among the projects implemented by the corporation are:

  • icebreaking supply vessels "Andrey Vilkitsky" and "Alexander Sannikov", built at the Vyborg Shipyard of USC, with ice class Icebreaker8 and installed power of 21.5 MW, providing high проходимость and energy efficiency when working in the ice edge; 
  • supply vessels "Ostap Sheremeta" and "Ivan Sidorenko", built by the Amur Shipbuilding Plant of USC, ice class Arc4 with a deadweight of 4,415 tons and a cargo deck area of 750 m², which allows solving the tasks of importing materials and equipment to marine facilities;
  • concept project of a vessel for underwater technical works "Almaz", developed by the USC design bureau, with ice class Arc5, autonomy up to 40 days and accommodation for up to 60 specialists;
  • concept project of a vessel for supplying offshore drilling rigs of project 22450 of the USC "Vympel" design bureau (Arc5, deadweight about 2,820 tons, speed up to 16 knots);
  • concept project of the USC "Almaz" design bureau for heavy transport tasks — a semi-submersible vessel with a carrying capacity of up to 25,000 tons and ice class Arc5, as well as a self-propelled hopper dredger of project 05470 (Ice2) with a hopper volume of 4,000 m³ and a soil intake depth of up to 30 m;
  • development of the USC "Coral" design bureau for construction and loading and unloading operations — a crane vessel with ice class Arc4, 140 m long and 64 m wide, equipped with two cranes, each with a lifting capacity of 2500 tons, with a maximum boom reach of 88 m and a maximum lifting height of 100 m;
  • floating energy complex for energy supply of remote sites of the USC "Coral" design bureau on liquefied natural gas with a capacity of up to 40 MW with autonomy for fuel reserves up to 10 days, which reduces the dependence of facilities on coastal infrastructure;
  • concept projects of the USC "Almaz" design bureau — cargo-passenger hovercraft TSVP‑30 and TSVP‑150 for year-round delivery of people and cargo to coastal facilities, providing transportation in shallow water and in difficult ice conditions.  

Scaling the program involves the reconstruction of the capacities of the USC "Severnaya Verf" enterprise and other enterprises of the corporation, as well as the construction of a new shipyard in Vladivostok to expand the serial base in civil shipbuilding.

USC considers the development of a line of supply vessels, energy and transport solutions as a contribution to the formation of a sustainable maritime transport infrastructure in the Arctic and reliable support for mining projects on the shelf.

Following the results of RAO/CIS Offshore, the corporation plans to work out cooperation with subsoil users, engineering and scientific and design partners on serial production, localization and service support, which will allow synchronizing project schedules with production capacities.
