An auxiliary fleet plays a significant role in nonstop service-and-supply support of armed ships what is an obligate condition for successful completion of objectives the Russian Navy faced. Application of normative base of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping gives an opportunity to design, construct, repair and reequip the auxiliary vessels for the Navy in the light of latest research of the world .

As a leading classification society MW each of them. agent: acceptance, storage, transporting accumulated all modem scientific advances, Along with a better and transfer of liquid cargoes, delivery of longstanding practice of maintaining of projects’ maneuvering ability compared to the different dry goods as well as collection of construction and exploitation as well as a whole common propulsion units such bilge, waste water, dry garbage and food international experience on working out of engineering solution consumes smaller waste. technical requirements for marine vessels and space of the engine room therefore installations, Russian Maritime Register of increasing the cargo capacity and OJSC “Almaz Shipbuilding Shipping (RMRS) cooperates with a wide range volume inside the vessel creating more Company” constructs a series of marine of marine industry enterprises to fulfill the orders comfortable living conditions for the self-moving crane ships (project 02690) for of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian crew. loading hazardous and conventional Federation. Nowadays more than 20 vessels of cargoes on the surface vessels, submarines, different class and purpose are built for the Navy At the LLC “Nevsky ” close-fitting of chains for binding berthing in accordance with the RMRS; most of them are a medium sea tanker “Academic Pasliin” floats, installation and detaching of designed by reference to specific features of (project 23130) is under construction. mooring equipment. Two vessels have exploitation in the ice conditions. The tanker will deliver diesel fuel as already been delivered to the customer. well as aviation kerosene. The process Seven units are on the building berths on In April 2015 OJSC “Admiralty of tankage from board on board can take the different stages of construction. ” under the RMRS control began to place in nonstop regime. Herewith the Construct completion is expected to construct the unique icebreaker «Ilja Muromets» special systems let perform the fueling happen in the end of 2016.

Due to the ice class Icebreaker6 the shore and on the different ships as well is planned to be constructed on the the vessel is able to move in the ice thickness up as for the tug support and rescue capacities of OJSC “Vostochnaya verf’ ” to lm. Its endurance will reach 60 days, range operations. There is envisaged a possibility till the end of 2017. Along with the capability - 12000 miles. The icebreaker will be to accommodate up to 50 salvaged people. Navy ships’ fueling the tanker will equipped with azimuth thrusters type “Azipod” The vessels are expected to be delivered to execute the functions of supply capacity 3,5 the customer up to April, 2017.

FOR THE RUSSIAN N4IT

Auxiliary fleet plays a key role in the failure-free service and supply of warships being a pre-condition for successful addressing the tasks being faced by the Russian Navy. Implementation of the normative base о f Russian Maritime Register о f Shipping enables to design, construct, repair and convert the auxiliary ships for the navy taking into consideration the forefront achievements of the world shipbuilding. Nowadays, over 20 ships о f different types and purposes are constructed to the RS class for the Russian Navy. Most о f the ships are designed with due regard to the operation in ice conditions. In April 2015, the JSC Admiralteiskie Verfi shipyard under the RS survey commenced the construction of a unique icebreaker Ilya Muromets, project 21180, which combines the functions о f an icebreaker, a tug boat and a patrol ship.

Such functionality will allow the ship to A big contribution in the renewal of Applying the normative base and perform a wide range о f tasks in the Arctic technical fleet is made by Leningrad experience of technical surveying by and at the Far East. An intermediate sea Shipyard “Pella”. Till the end of 2015 the RMRS gives a possibility to tanker AkademikPashin, project 23130, is there will be constructed 4 tugs (project design, construct, repair and reequip under construction at the JSC Nevsky PS-45) destined for sea towing of the auxiliary vessels for military fleet Shipyard. The ship will be capable о f simultaneous fuelling of three ships under vessels, floating structures in ice and in the light of latest modem research, way. A small sea tanker, project 03182, is ice-free waters, provision of marine requirements of international scheduled for construction by the end of objects with equipment and materials, conventions on security of seagoing 2017 at the premises о f the JSC delivery of special personnel and goods. and environmental protection, Vostochnaya Verf shipyard (). The vessels are able to maintain search- facilitate the growth of quality of Besides fuelling о f the Navy ships, the ship and-rescue operations in the shipping production delivered in the interests will be capable о f operating as a supply area, oil- and gas-fields.
