Modern Russia has not yet seen the construction of such a big series of ships intended for operation in the Far East and in the North-West of the country.

The ships intended for catching and transportation of live crab will have Ice2 class and will be deployed for operation in Russia’s Northern and Far Eastern basins. Each ship of the series will have nine tanks for a total of 100 tonnes of live crab. The ships will feature improved seaworthiness and fuel efficiency.
Total gross tonnage of the crab catcher exceeds 1,000 tonnes, its length is 57.7 meters, width – 12.6 meters. The ship will be equipped with a conventional propulsion unit. Endurance - 30 days.
Nakhodka Ship Repair Yard was established in 1951 and incorporated in 1992. In 1999 NSRY obtained ISO 9002:1994 certificate. Then the company participated in large infrastructure projects in the Primorsky Territory.
