According to the Marine Rescue Service of Rosmorrechflot, the multifunctional marine diving vessel of SDS08 project "Stolny Grad Yaroslavl" took part in the exercises in elimination of emergency oil and oil products spills (OSR) in the water area of the seaport of Makhachkala.
 
A training exercise took place in the water area of the seaport of Makhachkala before the approval of the "Plan for the prevention and elimination of oil and oil products spills of LLC "Port-Petrovsk" with the participation of rescuers of the Caspian branch of the Marine Rescue Service. The topic of the exercise is "Elimination of an accidental oil spill in the event of an accident at berth N1 of LLC"Port-Petrovsk".
 
To eliminate nominal pollution in the port, the Caspian branch of the FSBI Morspasluzhba sent the SDS08 "Stolniy Grad Yaroslavl" and the "Arctic" rescue boat with rescuers and equipment designed to contain and eliminate emergency oil and oil products spills to the area of environmental work.
 
During the exercise, the vessels localized nominal oil spills with two orders of booms and collected oil products from the surface of the water and berthing facilities using oil-gathering systems and sorbing resources.
 
In addition, during the exercise, the organization of the interaction of forces and means of the Caspian branch of the FSBI "Morspasluzhba", LLC "Port-Petrovsk", and the FSBI "AMP of the Caspian Sea" was practiced during the elimination of oil spills from the facilities of LLC "Port-Petrovsk".
 
Aims of the exercises:
 
• improving the practical actions of the crews of the vessels of the Caspian branch of the FSBI "Morspasluzhba" and the personnel of the marine special unit when working on elimination of oil spills and oil products;
• assessment of the level of preparedness and effectiveness of actions of rescuers and the degree of readiness of the management of the Caspian branch of the FSBI "Morspasluzhba" to carry out joint work with the headquarters of the operation of LLC "Port-Petrovsk";
• assessment of the sufficiency of the forces and means of the Caspian branch of the FSBI "Morspasluzhba" involved in the containment and elimination of an accidental spill of oil products in the water area of the port of LLC "Port-Petrovsk".
 
Exercises were worked out successfully, all aims were worked out and set tasks were fulfilled.
 
SDS08 "Stolniy Grad Yaroslavl" was built at Yaroslavl Shipyard in 2010 due to order of FSUE "State Customer Management of Maritime Transport Development Programs" of the Federal Agency of Maritime and River Transport of the Russian Federation.
 
SDS08 prj. was designed by Marine Engineering Bureau.
 
SDS08 sea diving vessel has Ice 2 class, inclined stem and transom aft end, long forecastle, deckhouse located fore. Vessel also has engine room located aft, diesel main engines, two controllable-pitch propellers and bow thruster. Her principal dimensions are as follows:
 
Length overall is 38.35 m;
Length between perpendiculars is 36.35 m;
Breadth overall is about 7,92 m;
Breadth (due waterline) is 7.70 m;
Design draught is 2.35 m;
Full speed is 12 kn.;
Economical speed is 8 kn.;
Main engines capacity is 2 x 442 kW;
Autonomy is 5 days.
 
Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping class is KM Ice 2 R2 AUT3-C OMBO SDS>100.
 
Project considerably differs from existing similar vessels:
 
1. Diving equipment, mounted on vessel, allows carrying out diving and underwater works on depth till 100 m. There are no analogues of such equipment at existing vessels that are operated by State Maritime Salvage Department of RF.
 
2. Vessel can carry out fire extinguishing on other vessels and floating objects using two mechanical-foam stream nozzles.
 
3. Vessel is equipped by tug winch that allows carrying out tugging functions.
 
4. Vessel will provide oil spill response functions if boom and skimmer are placed onboard.
 
5. Vessel's characteristics and special equipment provide carrying out of diving salvage operations during sea state up to 3, and vessel can sail to the salvage place while waves' height is 7 m.
 
6. Two main high-speed engines with capacity of 442 kW each provide required vessel's running qualities, work to the variable-pitch propellers. Bow thruster with capacity of 120 kW is mounted for vessel's keeping at place of operational works.
 
7. Up-to-date remote-controlled underwater apparatus allow inspection of a sea-bottom, underwater part of ships' hull and rudder propellers of vessels, underwater part of waterside structures on depth till 100 m.
 
8. Equipment for underwater welding on depth till 25 m and underwater cutting on depth till 100 m is used for salvage operations, repair of underwater part of vessels, repair of hydraulic structures, carrying out of rescue operations. In addition, cargo lifting equipment allows lifting objects of weight till 2.0 t from depth till 100 m.
 
9. Vessel carries out water pumping from wrecking vessel's compartments and also pontoon air blow during participation in re-floating.
 
Diving equipment consists of:
 
• pressure chamber for 4 divers;
• diving half-cone with launching gauge;
• diving equipment with SUPERLITE helmet and DESCO ventilate helmet;
• diving equipment of universal "dry" type;
• divers' water-heater equipment;
• communication equipment;
• underwater illumination equipment;
• underwater television equipment;
• underwater welding/cutting equipment;
• hydraulic tools;
• pumping equipment;
• soil water-cut equipment;
• remote-controlled underwater apparatus;
• diving ladder.
 
Thereby, unique combination of equipment mounted on vessel, and also high-powered power plant allows carrying out almost any specialized works related to diving-technical works on depth till 100 m. In addition vessel can carry out fire extinguishing on other vessels using two mechanical-foam stream nozzles with capacity of 180 cub.m. per hour and carry out tug functions (ground-mooring-tug winch with force of 7 tons is mounted aft), pump water out from compartment of wrecking vessel, participate into oil spill operations. Such combination of functions is unique for vessel with length of 38 m only.
