The laying down of the floating oil storage facility "Stalebeton 0-02" took place at the production site of the "Galaktika" shipbuilding enterprise. The event was attended by representatives of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, which continues to monitor the construction of a series of vessels of project 04650.
The new storage facility is designed for year-round operation with liquid cargoes: crude oil and petroleum products.
A special feature of the design is the ability to safely transfer fuel to any type of transport, from sea tankers to railway tanks, even with water disturbance up to 3 points.
Engineers have taken into account the climatic features of the northern regions. The equipment and materials of the floating storage facility are designed for operation at a water temperature of -4 ºС and an air temperature of -35 to +35 ºС with humidity up to 95%. Thanks to this, the vessel can operate in sea and river bays without seasonal restrictions.
The laying down of "Stalebeton 0-02" is another step in the renewal of the fleet of auxiliary vessels for the oil and gas sector.
