Motor ship "I.A.": description, photo, scheme
Three-deck ship “I.A. Krylov" project 588 was built in Germany, equipped with modern navigation equipment. With a length of 96.3 m, a draft of 2.45 m and a width of 14.3 m, it develops a speed of 23.7 km / h. The power of the ship's engines is 1200 hp. The motor ship underwent a partial reconstruction: the restaurant salon on the main deck was increased to 110 seats, the interior of the cinema hall on the boat deck has been updated, a bar has been equipped in the aft part of the middle deck of the ship.
Double-deck ship "Borodino" of project 305. Built at shipyards in Hungary. In 1999, a major overhaul was carried out with a complete redevelopment and modernization of passenger cabins. After the reconstruction, there were only 37 of them, and all with amenities (shower, toilet, washbasin). On the middle deck: double single-story cabins, on the main deck: two-, three- and four-bed cabins. The ship has two bow saloons, two restaurants (upper and lower), a cozy bar and a sauna. A small draft allows the ship to travel on shallow rivers.

Let's listen to him: The largest river vessels.) So here it is, in a nutshell...
One of the oldest ways of transporting goods is transportation by river. Previously, some cargo that could float could be transported by alloy, they were simply dumped into the river and caught downstream. Today, river transportation of goods is carried out with the help of a developed network of river transport. Although the entire territory of Russia is riddled with large and small rivers, the river cargo turnover is only 4% of the total cargo turnover in the country.
There are quite a lot of goods transported by rivers, and, basically, these are goods that do not require fast or urgent delivery. Such cargoes include grain, oil products, fuel (coal, coke), building materials (for example, river sand with delivery), that is, bulk and bulk cargo. However, it is possible to transport goods in small containers and containers on river vessels, however, this depends on the type of vessel and its capacity.
All river vessels can be divided into twoe big categories:
- Ships equipped with an engine, that is, self-propelled. This includes boats, ships, boats, motor boats etc.
- Vessels without an engine, that is, non-self-propelled. These are primarily cargo barges, as well as pontoons and other structures.
The main type of self-propelled vessel is a bulk carrier. Bulk carriers carry cargo in a hold located inside the ship's hull. As the name implies, dry cargo ships carry cargo that is not desirable to be exposed to moisture, so dry cargo ships are equipped with special hatches.
Among dry cargo ships, there are three types of ships:
- Roller (ro-ro). This ship is equipped with vertical loading, it transports cars and other equipment. Cars can enter the ship under their own power through folding bow ramps.
- Bulker. This type of vessel is intended for the carriage of bulk, bulk, non-packaged (and sometimes liquid) cargo. For example, if the cargo is river sand with delivery, then most likely it will be delivered on a bulk carrier.
- Bulk dry cargo. Such bulk carriers carry various types of liquid cargo, such as oil, ammonia, liquid fuel, etc.
If we talk about non-self-propelled ships, then the leader here is a cargo barge. There are several types of barges:
- Bilge (closed and open),
- Areas for transportation in bulk,
- tented,
- self-unloading,
- car carriers,
- cement trucks,
- And others.
However, all these types are dry-cargo barges, there are also tanker barges.
Advantages of river transport
- River transportation of goods has a fairly low cost, and this is a big plus for customers. Low cost is possible due to the low speed of transportation and the presence of currents on the rivers.
- No need to build and, accordingly, repair transport routes, as is done for auto and rail transport.
disadvantages river transport
- Paradoxically, what provides the main advantage is the main disadvantage. We are talking about the low speed of river vessels and, accordingly, long terms delivery.
- Relatively weak opportunities in relation to traffic volumes.
- Pronounced seasonality of transportation associated with short navigation. In other words, in winter the rivers freeze and ships are laid up.
- Different depths and widths of rivers in different places and the size of vessels impose additional restrictions on transportation.
The largest displacement belongs to the Volgo-Don vessel and is 5000 tons.
Volgo-Don - river dry-cargo ships designed to transport bulk cargo (coal, ore, grain, crushed stone, etc.) along large inland waterways. Built from 1960 to 1990, one of the most massive series of Soviet river ships (in total, up to 225 ships of various series were built).
During the construction of the court were repeatedly modified:
Projects 507 and 507A - the first modifications, an open hold-bunker without bulkheads
Project 507B - lower power machines were installed (1800 hp instead of 2000 hp)
Projects 1565, 1565M - closed holds, modern superstructure
Project 1566 - a composite vessel that had a self-propelled part and a non-self-propelled attachment barge.
Open holds. The only ship was built in 1966 under the name "XXIII Congress of the CPSU".
A further development of the project was motor ships of the Volzhsky type. In the 1990s, some of the Volgo-Don type vessels were reconstructed into the "river-sea" type, which allowed them to go to inland seas and make voyages, for example, to the UK.
The reconstructed ships are shorter, have a higher bow and better equipment of holds. The ships of projects 507, 507A, 507B and 1566 were built at the Navashinsky shipyard "Oka", Project 1565 and 1565M - in the same place and at the Santierul Navale Oltenita plant, Romania.
Structurally, the vessels are motor ships with a carrying capacity of 5000-5300 tons (project 1566 - 10,000 tons with an attachment) with open or closed holds.
The length of the vessels is 138-140 m, the width is 16.6-16.7 m, the draft is 3.5-3.6 m. The power of the main engines is 1800-2000 hp, the empty speed is 21-23 km/h Vessels of the Volga-Don type were actively operated and continue to be operated on the Volga, Kama, Don, the Volga-Baltic water system, on the Dnieper, as well as on the Yenisei below the Kazachinsky rapids. Since the 1990s, many ships, especially reconstructed ones, have sailed the Azov, Black, Caspian and Baltic Seas.
PROJECT RSD44
The implementation of the project for the construction of a series of RSD-44 ships is carried out under a leasing scheme for state support of domestic shipbuilding: joint financing by the state United Shipbuilding Corporation (85%) and the future owner of the ships - Volga Shipping Company (15%) on the terms of state subsidies 2/3 refinancing rates of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
The carrying capacity of the RSD44 vessels in comparison with the Volgo-Don dry cargo ships is 500 tons higher and amounts to 5.5 thousand tons; at the same time, the overall height of the new vessels is 8 meters (almost 2 times lower). Motor ships will be automated as much as possible and equipped with modern rudder propellers, which provide high maneuverability and good controllability.
Dry cargo ship "Kapitan Ruzmankin" was laid down at Okskaya Shipyard on February 24, 2010 and handed over to the customer in 2011 after sea trials. The ship is named after the Volga captain Pyotr Fyodorovich Ruzmankin, who died near Stalingrad in 1942.
Multi-purpose dry-cargo vessel with a deadweight of 5458 tons of the Volgo-Don max class
Dry-cargo vessel "Volgo-Don max" RSD44 class "Kapitan Yurov" made a unique voyage from Ladoga to the Southern port of Moscow with a load of crushed stone. At the first stage, the vessel took on board 5,400 tons of cargo; upon arrival at the Northern Port, part of the cargo was loaded. Having on board 3680 tons of crushed stone and a draft of 2.80 m, "Kapitan Yurov", having a length of 140 m, passed along the Moscow River with its small radii of curvature of the ship's passage under low-gauge Moscow bridges (8.6 m above water clearance) to the South Port.
The ship "Kapitan Yurov" was built at the Oka Shipyard (director Vladimir Kulikov): laying on 12/28/10, launching on 10/14/11, commissioned on 11/18/11.
In the navigation of 2012, OJSC Volga Shipping Company (Director Alexander Shishkin) put into operation all ten vessels of the new series at once.
The series can be called the "Heroes of Stalingrad series" - all ten captains of the Volga Shipping Company, in whose honor and memory the RSD44 project ships are named, gave their lives defending their Motherland in the battles for Stalingrad.
It should be noted that the RSD44 series of vessels set a record not only in terms of construction speed, but also in terms of deadweight in the river with a draft of 3.60 m (5540 tons according to the results of inclining the lead ship and weighing the second one) and speed during tests (average speed along the current and against the current during sea trials of the lead ship was more than 12 knots).
The RSD44 project was developed by the Marine Engineering Bureau.
Class of the Russian River Register - + M-PR 2.5 (ice 20) A.
New dry-cargo vessels of the RSD44 project "Volga max" class (DWL length 138.9 m, beam 16.5 m, depth 5.0 m, coaming height 2.20 m) are intended for transportation by inland waterways Russian Federation general, bulk, timber and bulky cargo, grain, lumber, potash and mineral fertilizers, sulfur, coal, paper, building materials, metal products, as well as up to 140 containers.
The deadweight of the vessel with a draft of 3.60 m in the river is about 5543 tons, with a draft of 3.53 m in the sea - 5562 tons. The volume of cargo holds is 7090 cubic meters. m.
The operation of ships is also envisaged along the Volga-Don Shipping Canal (VDSK), the Volga-Baltic Canal, in the Sea of Azov to the port of Kavkaz and in the Gulf of Finland. Passage under the Nevsky bridges in the area of St. Petersburg and near Rostov railway bridge(Rostov-on-Don) is supposed to be carried out without their wiring (the maximum free clearance when passing under bridges is 5.4 m).
The dimensions of the RSD44 project (overall length 139.99 m, overall width 16.80 m) make it possible to ensure the operation of vessels through the VDSK, including through the “old” branch of the Kochetovsky lock without the “special wiring” mode.
Double bottom and double sides along the entire length of the "box" cargo holds (hold dimensions: hold N1 37.8 m x 13.2 x 6.22 m, hold N2 49.8 m x 13.2 x 6.22 m) and fuel, oil and waste tanks allow for the convenience of loading and unloading cargo, high operational reliability of the vessel, as well as guaranteeing environmental protection and reducing the risks associated with environmental pollution in the area of operation of the vessel.
The propulsion unit consists of two full-revolving rudder propellers, combining the properties of propulsors and controls in a single complex, which can significantly improve the maneuverability of the vessel in cramped river conditions. The ship is equipped with two medium-speed diesel engines, each with a capacity of 1200 kW, running on heavy fuel.
The hull form of the vessels, made as technologically advanced as possible to ensure low cost of hull work, at the same time is quite seaworthy and optimal in terms of fuel consumption for the given operating conditions in the M-PR river class, providing an operational speed of 10.5 knots.
To ensure a sufficient view of the water surface from the ship's control position, the wheelhouse is located at the bow of the ship. During the passage of bottlenecks and locks, the vessel is controlled from the onboard control panels installed on the open deck from each side in the cabin area.
The vessels are equipped with a 120 kW propeller-in-tube bow thruster.
In connection with the need to ensure the passage of ships under the Nevsky bridges and the Rostov railway bridge without their distributing, single-level residential cabins are provided in the stern of the ships.
The vessels provide all the necessary conditions for a comfortable stay of the crew on board, including an advanced climate control system, the use of anti-vibration and anti-noise coatings inside the premises.
Crew - 8 people, the captain and chief engineer are accommodated in block cabins, the rest in single cabins.
It is interesting to note that at the suggestion of the Volga Shipping Company, the total number of seats is 16, which will allow taking on board cadets, equipment maintenance specialists, as well as crew members (wives). The latter can be a serious advantage in the selection of personnel for work on a new series.
Market demand for transport services inland water transport in 5-10 years will be impossible to satisfy due to the rapid aging and the prospect of decommissioning the fleet. Railway will also not cope with the growth in demand in the transport market, since it is already operating at the limit of carrying capacity. In this regard, the problem of updating the river dry-cargo fleet through the construction of new Volga Max class river vessels to replace the Volgo-Don, Volzhsky type vessels is of particular relevance (there are 161 such vessels on the Russian GDP, and the vessels of project 507B have average age about 37 years old, pr. 1565 - 33 years old, pr. 05074M - 22 years old).
The deadweight of the RSD44 project vessel with a draft of 3.60 m in the river is 7% higher than that of the newest existing vessels of the Volzhsky type (project 05074M).
The surface clearance in the ballast of the proposed vessel is only 5.4 m (even less when loaded), which, unlike the Volzhsky, will allow it to pass under the bridges across the Neva River and under the Rostov railway bridge without their wiring. As a result, the ship will save up to 20 days of waiting time for bridges in line for navigation.
The volume of cargo holds of the RSD44 project is 21% larger than that of the Volzhsky, which will allow it not only to transport bulky cargo, but also significantly increase the load when transporting "light" cargo - barley, sunflower seeds, cotton, scrap metal and large diameter pipes and etc.
With the same length and width, the RSD44 dry-cargo vessel has a lower side height, as a result of which its module is 8% less than that of the Volzhsky-type vessels, which will save up to 8% of the total cost of port and navigation dues.
Thus, the vessels of the RSD44 project, serially built by Okskaya Shipyard, are a unique engineering complex that combines optimal dimensions for inland waterways with modern equipment and navigation technology, which has significant advantages over existing counterparts.

(data as of September 2012)
The ships were built under a leasing scheme, according to which 85% of the funds were provided by the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) as part of state support for domestic shipbuilding, and 15% was financed by the Volga Shipping Company. The conditions of the scheme are subsidizing by the state 2/3 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
And we are moving on to passenger ships:
River passenger ships of project 92-016 - large passenger ships designed for river cruises. This project is unique in that motor ships 92-016 are the largest river cruise ships in the world. The construction of ships of project 92-016 for our country was carried out at the Czechoslovak shipyard "Slovenske Lodenice Komarno" in the city of Komarno. During construction, it was planned that the motor ships of this project would replace the motor ships of the project 26-37 on the "fast" Volga lines. The lead ship of project 92-016 "Valerian Kuibyshev" was laid down on the stocks in 1975. The construction of the series was carried out until 1983, in total 9 motor ships of project 92-016 were built.
The motor ships of project 92-016 delivered by the shipyard were placed at the disposal of the Volga and Don Shipping Company (the ship of the Don Shipping Company made a serious accident in 1983, after which it also entered the balance of the Volga Shipping Company). The ships were operated on the Volga tourist routes. To date, most of the ships are used in the North-West cruise direction, they make flights between Moscow and St. Petersburg, cruises of short duration from St. Petersburg. Some ships operate on the Volga tourist routes from Nizhny Novgorod and Samara, along the Volga, Don, Kama and the Volga-Baltic waterway. Initially, the project on ships included single, double, triple cabins, each of which is equipped with an individual bathroom, premises for two restaurants, cafes, salons and a cinema hall with a retractable roof.
During the operation of the ships, modernization was carried out on almost all ships: salons were transformed into bars, cinema halls on the sun deck were converted into bars and conference rooms. Cabins were partially remodeled, on some ships the number of deluxe and semi-luxe cabins was increased by combining several standard cabins into one. For work in the North-West direction (Ladoga and Lake Onega) ships are equipped with a large number of life-saving appliances (life rafts) to meet the requirements of class "M".
Main technical characteristics of the vessels of project 92-016: Vessel length: 135.8 m Vessel width: 16.8 m Vessel height (from the main line): 16.1 m Number of passenger decks: 4 average speed speed: 24-26 km/h Number of main engines: 3 Power of each engine: 1000 l/s River Register class: "O" (inland waterways, rivers and reservoirs, passage through Lake Ladoga and Onega with height and wavelength restrictions) )
List of vessels of project 92-016
Motor ship "Alexander Suvorov"
Motor ship "Valerian Kuibyshev"
Motor ship "Georgy Zhukov"
Motor ship "Mstislav Rostropovich" (before the fire and reconstruction Mikhail Kalilin)
Ship "Mikhail Frunze"
Motor ship "Semyon Budyonny"
Motor ship "Sergey Kuchkin"
Motor ship "Fyodor Chaliapin"
Motor ship "Felix Dzerzhinsky"
And the longest ship of this series Motor ship Valerian Kuibyshev- four-deck vessel of project 92-016. Built in 1975 in the Czech Republic. It has a length of 137.5 m. A distinctive feature of the ship is the absence of passenger cabins on the lower deck.
Speed - 24-26 km / h. Passenger capacity - 321 people.
But there is still a ship that can compete with our project:
The American rear-wheel cruise ship American Queen (built in 1995) outperforms Project 92-016 ships in the following parameters:
Width - 27.2 m
Height - 29.7 m (primarily due to the high "traditional" chimneys, but the number of passenger decks is also more than on 92-016 - 5 decks plus the sixth promenade)
Number of passenger cabins - 222
Number of beds - 436
Mark Twain named wheeled steamships floating down the mighty Mississippi River like "floating wedding cakes". At the end of the 20th century, a ship appeared, which became the largest wheeled steamer in the history of shipbuilding. Although it is carefully hidden, but vessel literally full of surprises river cruise. This modern steamer whose roots are hidden in the past. 150 years after dawn steamships on the Mississippi River, american queen” gives its passengers a unique vision of the world.
During the cruise along the Volga, I managed to visit the most interesting places on a boat. I met the crew members, visited the control room and the engine room, asked a lot of questions and received the most detailed answers.
Now I invite you to see how the ship is arranged.
2. Getting acquainted: the ship "Mikhail Bulgakov", project 301. One of the most comfortable four-deck ships. Built in the GDR, recently upgraded.
Length 125 m, width 16.7 m, surface height 13.2 meters, maximum speed 26 km/h, maximum draft 3 m. The maximum passenger capacity of the ship is 307 people. The number of crew and maintenance personnel is 121 people. 
3. Interesting, but there are five decks on a four-deck ship. There are no cabins on the upper deck. 
4. One of the cabins. Some are more spacious, some are more compact. Each cabin has a shower, toilet, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning. Travel comfortably and conveniently. I will not talk in detail about restaurants, the pool and other delights, those who wish can read about life on a cruise. 
5. Let's go up to the control room of the ship. The crew in the wheelhouse is at least two people, at night there is a reinforced watch: three people. Now the change of Alexei Bashirov, the second assistant to the captain. 
6. A gorgeous view opens up from the cabin. 
7. Three engines of 1000 horsepower are running at full speed. Now the speed is about 21 km/h, but if the water level were higher, the speed would be about 25 km/h. 
8. In addition to instruments, such an atlas helps to navigate. Atlases are regularly updated, as the state of the bottom and shores may change. 
9. We go along the Rybinsk reservoir. 
10. The captain does not have a steering wheel in the form in which we are used to seeing them in the pictures. The governing bodies have changed, although the essence remains the same. 
11. The control of the ship is duplicated on the left and right. Made it for better view in difficult areas, when mooring and so on. 
12. View from the left side of the cabin. 
13. The entire route of the ship is scheduled literally by the minute. 
14. Instruments of different generations are used on the ship. 
15. This is an old but reliable and proven compass. 
17. We pass by Myshkin. When passing by standing ships, the ship slows down to reduce the wave. If this is not done, the mooring lines of standing ships can be cut off. 
18. The navigator in the ship is very similar to the car. 
19. The design of the ship is very successful. He can walk not only along rivers and canals, but also along the sea in the coastal zone. But to work at sea, you need to study additionally, the conditions there are more severe. 
20. Corner with documentation. Everything about the ship is written here. 
21. In addition to the three main engines, the ship has a thruster. Thanks to him, the ship can move sideways right on the spot. The thruster is electric. A very handy invention. 
22. The main workplace. 
23. When driving a ship, the captains communicate with each other by radio. We part on the left sides. 
24. As I already mentioned, when we were in the wheelhouse, the second assistant to the captain was on duty. We saw Captain Vladimir Nozrenkov a little later in full dress at the captain's dinner. 
25. Now let's go down to the very bottom, to the engine room. I'll warn you right away: it's very noisy here. 
26. When we go to the engines, be sure to wear these headphones. 
27. The technical economy on the ship is very rich. It is necessary to store fuel, water, oil, besides this, there is also waste products. 
Details for those interested: the fuel supply on the ship is 180 tons, which is enough for about three weeks of travel.
In addition, there are 100 tons of untreated and 28 tons of purified water on board. Water is purified directly on board using a special installation. Usually, water is filled at parking lots, but if necessary, you can take water directly from the river in special areas.
28. In the engine room, except for the strong noise, it is quite comfortable. The temperature is not higher than 35 degrees. In the old ships it was up to 72 degrees Celsius. 
29. The ship has four diesel generators that provide electricity to all systems. A lot of energy is consumed by air conditioning and ventilation. Each diesel generator has a capacity of 700 horsepower. 
30. Diesel generators built in the GDR. The total capacity of the generators will provide electricity to the city with a population of several thousand people. 
31. The main engines of the ship were built in the USSR. The engines have six cylinders, fuel consumption at full speed is 150 kilograms of fuel per hour. Fuel is refueled by tankers, most often from Yaroslavl.
Marine low-viscosity fuel (SMF) is used in the operation of marine engines. These engines can run on diesel and even on fuel oil, for this there is a special installation for heating fuel oil. Diesel generators are more whimsical. 
32. The cooling system is interesting. The engine oil is cooled by water, which is cooled by sea water. Thus, the ship heats the water around it. 
33. Several people are constantly on duty in the engine room. 
34. After the recent modernization of automation in the engine room has become more. 
35. A little about waste products. There are many of them: more than 300 passengers and more than 100 crew members use the sewer. Fecal water is accumulated in special containers, the maximum volume is 470 tons. Previously, there were areas where it was possible to dump fecal water, but now it is impossible to do this. During stops, specialized vessels approach the ships and pick up waste. In the Northern River Port, these are "Mars" and "Jupiter". The same motor ships take under-shale water from the engine room - water with oil and fuel residues.
36. Now you know almost everything about how a motor ship works. Thanks for attention! 
Thank you for the tour company
