Maximum length - 123.80 m;
Hull length - 123.60 m;
Overall width - 24.20 m;
Width - 24.00 m;
Board height - 5.00 m;
Draft - 2.90 m.
A 72 m long, 12.0 m wide, 5.227 cubic meter capacity 'box' cargo hold, closed with sliding hatch closures.
The intensity of the distributed load on the second bottom is 10.0 tons per square meter. The height of the double bottom in the area of the cargo hold is 1000 mm. The width of the double sides is 6000 mm.
Deadweight at 2.90 m draft (in river) - 6688 tons.
