USC completed the laying of the fourth vessel of the RSD59 project in 2025

At the Krasnoye Sormovo plant of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), a solemn ceremony was held for the laying of the fourth serial dry cargo vessel under the RSD59 project. A commemorative закладная доска was installed on the first section, which indicates data on the country of manufacture, the shipyard, the name of the project, the construction number and the date of laying the vessel.

The laying process took place in the hull-assembly production workshop, after which this section will be sent to the slipway to form the hull. Working drawings for the dry cargo ship were developed by the Volga-Caspian Design Bureau of USC.

The self-propelled single-deck vessel of the RSD59 project is designed for sea and mixed (river-sea) transportation. It has two cargo holds and two full- поворотный screws with a steering column. The vessel has the ability to transport various cargoes: general, bulk, packaged lumber, round timber, scrap metal, rolled metal, as well as oversized, long and heavy items, coal, dangerous goods and goods of category "B".

The RSD59 project has established itself as one of the most popular due to its versatility and reliability. Dry cargo ships of this model can use both sea and inland waterways, including limited navigation areas.

As a result of a large-scale modernization, USC "Krasnoye Sormovo" will significantly increase its production capacity and switch to large-block serial construction, which will subsequently allow the production of up to 20 dry cargo ships per year.
