Volgograd Shipyard launches the second dry-cargo ship for the Iranian customer
The second double-screw dry-cargo vessel DWT 7,000 project RSD19, built for Irinvestship Limited (Iran), was launched at Volgograd Shipyard. The contact for building a series of river-sea-going dry-cargo ships project RSD19 was signed in August, 2005. Four ships are scheduled to be built within two years upon signature of the contract.
The lead ship «Iran Anzali» was handed over to the customer in February. The third vessel was laid down in October, 2006, the fourth one – in December, 2006.
The multi-purpose dry-cargo ship has the maximum for the Volga-Don route overall dimensions. The length of the ship is 140 m, width – 16.70 m, depth – 6 m, deadweight (sea/river) -6,750/4,343 mt, cargo capacity (sea/river) – 6,325/4,100 mt. The design was worked out by Maritime Engineering Bureau (Odessa, Ukraine) for class КМ*ЛУ 2 1 IА1 of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and meets all the requirements of international conventions. According to the Bureau classification, the vessel refers to the “Volgo-Don max” class – the higher class for operation in the sea and higher hull strength standard.
The vessels are designed for transportation of general and bulk cargo, timber and large-size cargo, 8.5-9-ft international standard containers. The ship is fitted with 4 cargo tanks of total capacity 10,800 cubic m, capacity of ballast tanks is 3,900 cubic m, sea endurance is 4,000 miles, loaded speed is 10.5 knots, the crew is 13/16 people. The performance trial of the lead ship showed that the vessel speed reaches 11.8 knots.
Volgograd Shipyard has built over one thousand of tankers, trawler-seiners, crane ships, oil skimmers, hulls of dry-cargo ships and chemical tankers, diving depot ships, floating pumping stations. By the estimate of the British Royal Society of the naval architects dry-cargo ships project 006RSD05, built at the Yard for Palmali Company, are acknowledged the best among the vessels of this class. At present the Yard is engaged in building of a series of four dry-cargo ship project RSD19 for the Iranian company Irinvestship Limited. Recently the Yard has started construction of tankers project 4450 for Svithoid Tankers AB (Sweden). This is the first sea-going ice-reinforced vessel, built in Russia.
