Vostochnaya Verf to build berths for RF Navy’s Pacific Fleet
Delivery is scheduled for October 2022
Vladivostok based Vostochnaya Veft shipyard says it will build two light heavy weight metal berths of Project PM-61М1 and a multipurpose ramp of Project 617 for the Defence Ministry of Russia. Under the contracts, the delivery is scheduled for October 2022.
The berths of Project PM-61М1 will be able to simultaneously accommodate two submarines or two surface ships with displacement not exceeding 5 tonnes, shore-to-ship supply of water and electricity as well as telephone communication, loading/unloading operations along the entire berth involving rubber-tired and track-mounted cranes.
According to Sergey Bakanyov, General Director of Vostochnaya Veft, the shipyard has built dozens of berths of various designs.
In 2020, Vostochnaya Veftbuilt three berths of that design: two for RF Navy’s Pacific Fleet and one for the Amur branch of FSB Border Service. One berth is to be delivered in September.
“It is not a big order for the shipyard but it ensures full loading of the hull production facility while other orders are in the phase of outfitting”, he said.
The multipurpose ramp of Project 617 is intended for installation of light heavy weight and heavy weight floating berths at undeveloped beaches.
All the three products are to be delivered not later than October 2022.
