On 23.08.2016 Marine Rescue Service of RosMorRechFlot (MarRescServ, ex. State Marine Emergency Salvage, Rescue and Pollution Prevention Coordination Service of the Russian Federation or SMPCSA) celebrates its 60th anniversary.
According to the website of the MarRescServ, the idea to form the Marine Rescue Service was based on the Order N5128-p of the Council of Ministries of the USSR, dated 23 August 1956. Accordingly to this Order all the activity with respect of ship-raising and underwater technical operations for national-economic purpose for all civil administrations has been committed to the Maritime Fleet Ministry of the USSR.
Within the framework of realization of the federal purpose programmes (FPP) such as sub-programme "Maritime transport" of the FPP "Modernization of the Transport System" and FPP "Development of the Russian Transport System", State funded creation of the new generation of the rescue vessels.
Since 2008, designing and construction of the whole "line-up" of the modern concepts vessels were commenced for MarRescServ (Andrey Khaustov is a head). This set of vessels includes rescue ones (MPSV06, MPSV07, MPSV09, MPSV12) with power from 2 up to 7 MW intended for various navigation areas and operating conditions, and also some smaller ones such as marine diving SDS08 vessels, multipurpose SDS18 diving catamarans and other projects (marine TG17 fire-fighting tug-boats, DCV61 supply vessels, non- propelled SB02 floating berth).
The listed above concepts were created by Marine Engineering Bureau.
28 rescue vessels were accepted for operation by Marine Rescue Service of RosMorRechFlot from the shipbuilding industry during the period from 2010 till today:
• multipurpose 7 MW rescue asymmetric icebreaker "Baltica" (with the base functionality of MPSV07) - 1 vessel;
• multipurpose 7 MW MPSV06 rescue icebreaker - 2 units;
