Metal cutting started for sixth 108 metres super trawler of ST-192 project for RFC

According to the press-service of the Russian Fish Industry Company (RFC) metal cutting for the sixth super trawler of ST-192 project (building number 02485) was started at the "Admiralty Shipyards" JSC (St. Petersburg) on February 15, 2021.
 
A total of ten trawlers of the ST-192 project have been ordered.
 
The customer is the Russian Fishery Industry Company.
 
The technical design of ST-192 was developed by the Marine Engineering Bureau. The WCD was developed by the Vympel Design Bureau.
 
"This year we have a number of important developments ahead of us. The first pair of super trawlers will be handed over to the company, the second will be launched and the keels of the fifth and sixth vessels will be laid on the slipways," said RRPC Deputy Director General for Fleet Construction Dmitry Sapov. - The need for speedy completion and renewal of the fleet is now more obvious than ever. It is important for the company, as for the industry as a whole, to get additional processing capacity in order to replace raw material exports with highly processed products and to diversify sales markets".
 
Admiralty Shipyards will build a total of 10 super trawlers of the ST-192 project for the RRPC as part of the investment quota programme. The capacity of the new ST-192 vessels is designed to catch 60.000 tonnes of fish per year and process up to 100% of catches deeply. Each ST-192 vessel will be able to produce 15.000 tonnes of fillets, minced fish and surimi, over 8.000 tonnes of other products, including pollack caviar and other fish by-products, as well as around 6.000 tonnes of high-quality fishmeal and fat from the main production waste.
 
The new vessels of the ST-192 project are designed to be as energy efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. This will ensure that CO2 emissions per tonne of fish harvested will be reduced by a factor of 2 compared to the vessels in use today.
 
Crews are provided with the best possible working and living conditions on board.
 
In December 2020, RFC received its first super trawler, built by Tersan Shipyard (Turkey). The 10 vessels at Admiralty Shipyards are being built in pairs, with a gap of about a year between the laying of each pair. Delivery of the first two vessels is scheduled for the second half of 2021.
 
The main purpose of the ST-192 project vessel: harvesting pelagic and benthic-pelagic fish and producing frozen products at sea, with full processing of the catch directly on board the vessel.
 
The main types of catching fish: Alaska Pollack, Herring, Mackerel.
 
The main types of production: decapitate and drawn fish, filleted fish, Alaska Pollack caviar (frozen), surimi, also fishmeal and fish oil.
 
Production storage is provided in the main refrigerating hold (capacity 4250 m³) after processing and freezing. Fishmeal and other frozen production are stored in 2 holds (capacity 400 and 600 m³). Also 300 m³ hold is foreseen for storage of carrying carton, fish meal and other production.
 
Storage of fish oil is provided by 2 tanks of 100 m³ summarized capacity made from food stainless steel.
 
The vessel is equipped for work with single trawl.
 
The vessel of the ST-192 project has the following characteristics:
 
Length overall is about 108.2 m;
Breadth is 21.0 m;
Depth up to main deck is 8.35 m;
Depth up to trawl deck is 11.55 m;
Maximal aft draught is 8.99 m.
 
Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping class notation is KM IA Super (hull) Ice 3 (power) AUT 1 REF BWM (T) Fishing vessel.
 
Assumed vessel's operational areas are as follows: eastern coast of Russian Federation, Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk and adjusted regions.
 
Vessel's hull strengthen in accordance with requirements of Finnish-Swedish ice class IA Super.
 
Design vessel's speed 15 kn is provided by single 8120 kW main diesel that drives controllable pitch propeller in fixed nozzle.
 
Manoeuvrability, including at low speed with trawl, is provided by single steering complex (rotor type steering gear + ruder with flap).
 
950 kW bow thruster is foreseen to improve manoeuvrability at low speed.
 
Work of vessel's power plant is provided by two diesel-generators (1880 and 1460 kW) and also by shaft-generator (4126 kW). Besides, emergency diesel-generator (240 kW) is foreseen.
 
Vessel's hull, super-structure and wheel-house are made from steel; high-strength wearproof grade like D690 and Hardox 450 are used for trawl deck. Except paining, applied current system is used as corrosion protection for underwater hull. Moreover, zinc sputtering (metallization) is foreseen for outer and inner surfaces of constructions that are subject to influence of aggressive environment.
 
Two cranes are foreseen for work during marine fishing, as follows: 8 t one of 17 m outreach (in the middle) and 8 t one of 8 m outreach (in aft).
 
Fore and aft gantries with cargo double 5 t derricks are foreseen for marine cargo transferring.
 
Shipping equipment (trawl systems), anchor-mooring mechanisms and winches of cargo derricks are bought together with automatic control systems.
 
Fully equipped fish processing system provides water pumping through refrigerated fish tanks, sorting, processing, freezing, packing, storage and unloading of production. production freezing will be carried out in horizontal automatic plate freezers of summarized capacity 260 t/day.
 
Equipment for surimi production with separate laboratory is foreseen, it capacity is 80 t/day. There is also fish meal plant with daily processing of 250 t of raw material.
 
Transportation of prepared production and packaging material through the vessel is carried out with help of two cargo elevators and special cargo conveyor within freezing holds.
 
Accommodation of 40 crewmembers is provided at comfortable single or double cabins, and factory staff (max. 99 people) is arranged at single, double or four-bed cabins.
 
Onboard the vessel there are separate mess-rooms for officers and other crew with self-service zone, crew recreation room, all necessary medical, sanitary-common and sanitary-hygienic rooms in accordance with requirements of Sanitary Regulations for Fishing Vessels. Additionally, there is cinema hall, sport complex including the gym, saunas.
 
Passive roll damping system is foreseen for providing comfortable conditions at non-fully loading conditions. Diesel oil is used as working liquid in the roll damping system.
 
The vessel is equipped by radio and navigation equipment in accordance with vessel's class and accepted navigation area, also by complex of specialized trawl equipment including sliding fish-finding sonars and trawl parameters control system.
