Governor of the Kamchatka Territory Vladimir Solodov visited the DCV47 supply vessel "Kapitan Finashin" during a visit to the village of Nikolskoye



According to the official website of the Kamchatka Territory, the head of the region Vladimir Solodov visited the supply DCV47 vessel "Kapitan Finashin" during his visit to the village of Nikolskoye (Bering Island).
 
Transport accessibility is one of the main topics of concern to the inhabitants of the insular part of the Kamchatka Territory. The head of the region visited the place of arrival of sea transport. He examined the pier and ordered to take temporary measures to put it in order. In the future, the object is awaiting reconstruction.
 
"The berth is in a worn-out condition. Unfortunately, this year, when it was included in the procurement, its cost did not correspond to the real one, and as a result, no one entered the tender twice. In 2022, we expect that the competition will be held, the berthing facility will be built, and thus it will be possible to confidently talk about regular sea traffic for the delivery of goods and residents by sea, "said the head of the region.
 
At the berth, he also met with the captain of the DCV47 project supply vessel "Captain Finashin" and boarded the vessel. The crew is busy unloading structures for a new home. Its construction in the village of Nikolskoye should be completed this year. On the day of the visit of the head of the region, a house built according to a similar project was put into operation on the island. Twelve people on the waiting list received the keys to their new apartments.
 
Vladimir Solodov visited Bering Island for the first time. In addition to the runway and the pier, he visited a kindergarten, school and hospital, a hotel, an ethnocultural center, visited the visit center of the Komandorskiy nature reserve and held a meeting with local residents.
 
DCV47 vessels are assigned for transportation of general and dry bulk cargoes, containers on cargo deck, wheel and track vehicles (roll-on method); port roads unload and load cargoes; delivery these cargoes to unequipped shore with drainage ability on sand-gravel soil and supply horizontal delivered cargo unload with help of bow ramp or with help of cargo crane.
 
Vessels were being built in accordance with Federal purpose plan "Economical and social development of Far East and Transbaikal till 2013".
 
Importance of such self-propelled barges at Kamchatka region (and others northern coastal regions) for supplying the distant population places was clear even in the USSR period. Beginning from the 70-s of previous century more than 115 self-propelled barges were built, as follows: barges of "Vladimir Pashkin" type ("SRP", prj. 698), "SP" type, "SRP 150K-1" (prj.698o), "SPA-001" type (prj. 10250), "SPP-001" type (prj. 10251) y "Nikolay Permitin" type (prj. 16900). This moment there are 15 self-propelled barges at Kamchatka region under operation.
 
Mean work duration (mean age) of these vessels is of 30 years.
 
Further operation of these vessels is accomplished with increasing of shipping safety providing, big expenditures used for vessels maintenance and repairing. More over these vessels become obsolete and aren't assign for cargo operations with drainage ability on unequipped soil during tide.
 
For example, this year "Sosnovka-1" replaced the diesel-electric vessel "Kapitan Drabkin" built in 1971 at a year-round crossing across the Ozernaya channel between the village of Ust-Kamchatsk and the village of Krutoberegovo, which was under scheduled repair from June 7 to October 12.
 
DCV47 concept includes more wide abilities that are necessary for supplying of distant population places, except typical for such vessels general cargoes and vehicles, as follows:
 
• cargo loading/unloading on the roads, entering into shallow river mouth during tide with drainage ability on sand-gravel soil. For providing such features vessel has strong construction for safe cargo operation during drainage in accordance with RS requirements. Vessel's hull enhanced double bottom (0.8 m height), double sides of 1.725 m width (B/5) and enough number of longitudinal and transverse bulkheads that provide single room unsinkage floodability Same time work of onboard electric station is provided by diesel-generator cooling by special outer water system (transient regime) and by work of emergency-stay diesel-generator with air cooling;
• bulk cargoes transportation (incl. coal for wintering) with ability of unloading by vessel's crane equipped by grab or by coast means;
• ISO type containers transportation with roads unloading or at long voyages;
• heavy wheel (of 15 t per axel) or truck vehicles of 60 t transportation with ability of vehicles roll-on / roll-off through bow ramp when coast support is prepared; heavy wheel of 10 t per wheel or truck vehicles of 30 t when there is no coast support;
• cargo delivery to unequipped shore and providing horizontal unloading of delivered cargo through the bow ramp or with help of vessel's crane or by the coast means that (incl. car cranes) are able come to the vessel's side during tide (railing guard is made of hinged type at the cargo zone in order to provide work of car crane's boom at the maximal outreach (the railing in the cargo area is made to collapse for the crane boom to work at maximum outreaches).
 
DCV47 vessels are seagoing ro-ro self-propelled barges with cargo lifting capacity of 250 t.
 
Vessel's principal dimensions are as follows:
 
Length overall is 42.60 m;
Length between perpendiculars is 38.40 m;
Breadth overall is about 8.82 m;
Breadth is 8.60 m;
Draught (summer free board) is 2.0 m;
Full speed is 9 kn;
Main engines capacity is 2 x 256 kWt.
 
Permitted load on cargo deck is of 15 tons per wheel vehicle axis or track vehicle weight up to 60 t.
 
Container capacity is 12 TEU.
 
Cargo crane's capacity is of 7.3 t (while outreach is 20 m).
 
Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping class notation is KM Ice 2 R1 AUT3 OMBO.
