Laisky Ship Repair Plant has completed the major restoration of the rescue tugboat "Atria" of Project 1454. The work started in the summer of 2025 and took about six months—four times faster than previously required for similar tasks. The information was confirmed by the "Arkhangelsk REB of the Fleet."
During the repair, specialists restored the main engine, thoroughly worked on the hull, updated the automation systems, and performed many carpentry tasks, including caulking and planking. In total, the defect list contained about a thousand items. According to Alexander Makarevich, Deputy Director of Production at the plant, the reduction in time was achieved thanks to accumulated experience, coordinated work of the workshops, and rational use of production capacities.
Currently, more than fifty vessels are undergoing winter repairs in the Laisky dock: dry cargo ships, tugboats, barges, and floating cranes. The enterprise has reached a stable rhythm and is capable of conducting several complex projects in parallel.
The tugboat "Atria" was launched in 1985 at the Yaroslavl Shipyard. Project 1454 was developed in the 1970s as a universal solution for emergency rescue and towing operations in difficult marine conditions. In total, 41 vessels of this series were built in the USSR at several shipyards. Many of them are still in service, undergoing timely maintenance and modernization.
