The oilfield services company JSC "Samotlorneftepromkhim" (Nizhnevartovsk) operated the non-self-propelled ferry BNDS-06 (project 187) without documents confirming the vessel's suitability. Employees of the Tyumen Transport Prosecutor's Office identified the violation and filed a lawsuit. This was reported by the press service of the Ural Transport Prosecutor's Office.
The vessel, in particular, lacked a classification certificate and a survey act.
The transport prosecutor sent a statement of claim to the court to prohibit the shipowner from operating the vessel until the necessary documents are obtained from the Russian Classification Society.
The Nizhnevartovsk City Court of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO) satisfied the supervisory authority's demand.
BNDS-06 is a non-self-propelled flat-top barge that was laid down at the Petrikovsky Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Plant in Belarus. The vessel was completed at the Nizhnevartovsk REBF. The ferry was officially built in 1985.
Characteristics of project 187:
- Length — 49.9 m
- Width — 10 m
- Board height — 1.8 m
- Draft — 1.1 m
The vessel is registered at the port of Omsk. It is used as a non-self-propelled cargo ferry for transporting wheeled and tracked vehicles.
