Krylov State Research Center has developed conceptual design of cable-laying vessel
Specialists of Krylov State Research Center have developed a conceptual project of a multipurpose cable-laying vessel with a state-of-the-art integrated management system, the company states.
The vessel’s major characteristics: length – 133.5 m; breadth – 21 m, draught – 6 m, displacement – 10,274 tonnes.
This ice-class sea vessel of unrestricted navigation is to have an ice category of Arc 5; two-compartment subdivision; class 2 of automation and class 2 of dynamic positioning system;
Unlike foreign vessels, this cable-layer is able to operate in ice conditions, within coastal zone of Russia’s Arctic shelf and the Far East.
The work has been done within the framework of the federal special-purpose programme “Development of civil marine facilities in 2009-2016” under agreement No 167-52/12 dated July 30, 2012, between FSUE Krylov State Research Center and scientific research institute Atoll OJSC.
Krylov State Research Center was set up in 1894 as Russia’s first model testing basin in the central part of St. Petersburg. It is a scientific research organization of the national shipbuilding sector focused on conceptual and workshop designs of naval ships, merchant vessels and offshore structures as well as on their operation and disposal.
