Astrakhan shipbuilders have completed the construction of the non-self-propelled multi-bucket dredge "Irtysh-2503" of project FPDR1 at the Stroyliderplus company's site. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Classification Society.
"Irtysh-2503" is the first vessel in a series being built at Stroyliderplus facilities by order of the Committee of Railway and Water Transport of the Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan.
Characteristics of the FPDR1 project dredge:
- Length — 51.5 m
