The Propulsion Systems Center of Zvezdochka Corporation (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) has completed the manufacture and sent to the customer two propeller screws with a diameter of 2250 mm, made of stainless steel. The products have been accepted by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and are intended for the main contractor of propulsion systems — NPO "Vint".
These screws will be part of the ПУ225Ф type thrusters and will be installed on the аварийно-спасательном судне «Певек» rescue vessel of the MPSV06M project. The assembly and completion of the vessel are carried out at the USC «Yantar» enterprise by order of the Federal State Institution «Department of the State заказчика» (FCI «DGZ»), followed by transfer to the Maritime Rescue Service (Morspassluzhba).
The series of multifunctional аварийно-спасательных судov (MFASS) MPSV06M is being developed within the framework of federal initiatives: "Northern Sea Route" and the Plan for the Development of the Northern Sea Route Infrastructure until 2035. The project was developed by the "Marine Engineering Bureau — St. Petersburg" taking into account the requirements of the Polar Code and the updated RS 2021 rules, which ensures the operation of vessels in Arctic conditions.
Technical characteristics of the vessel:
- Length — 87.75 m
- Width — 19.1 m
- Draft — 6.5 m
- Power of main electric motors — not less than 2 × 3500 kW
- Speed — up to 15 knots
- Crew — 22 people
MFASS of the MPSV06M project are designed to perform a wide range of tasks: patrolling морских районов, аварийно-спасательного дежурства on shipping areas and fishing zones, assisting ships in distress with evacuation and accommodation of victims, conducting underwater surveys at depths up to 1000 m, as well as extinguishing fires on морских and coastal facilities.
Features of the MPSV06M project compared to its predecessors (MPSV06) include increased ice strength (Icebreaker category), the ability to operate a cargo crane in storm conditions, and increased payload capacity of deck equipment. The vessel is capable of carrying out icebreaking operations in ports and port areas with ice thickness up to 1.5 m, as well as performing international voyages without restrictions on the navigation area.
A helicopter platform for receiving Ka-32 type helicopters is provided on the bow, which expands the capabilities of search and rescue operations.
As a reminder, the lead vessel of the series — «Анадырь» — was laid down at the production facilities of PSZ «Yantar» on May 24, 2023. Previously built vessels of the previous version of the project — «Берингов пролив» and «Мурман» — are already part of the Морспасслужбы, and the third MFASS, «Керченский пролив», is under construction at the Amur Shipbuilding Plant.
