Multifunctional MPSV07 rescue vessel "Spasatel Zaborschikov" took part in the rescue operation of "Vitim"

According to Rosmorrechflot, on 06.03.21, 4 MW multifunctional MPSV07 rescue vessel "Spasatel Zaborschikov" with an Arctic ice class ARC5 took part in the rescue operation of "Vitim" crab-processor of company "Pacific Crab".
 
"At 23:40 (Moscow time) was received message that the fishing vessel "Vitim", located in Peter the Great Bay, had found smoke in the fish shop. The reconnaissance did not help to clarify the location and size of the smoke source. The main engine was stopped, the vessel was drifting. The decision was made for the crew to leave the vessel on liferafts".
 
"The emergency crew immediately began to search for the source of the fire," Pacific Crab LLC notes. "However, due to strong smoke, it was not possible to determine the source of the ignition. By the decision of the captain, volumetric fire extinguishing was carried out. The crew took all necessary measures to localize the emergency and throughout its entire duration acted in accordance with the alarm schedule. However, when the situation began to threaten the life and health of people, the vessel's captain decided to evacuate the crew".
 
The excitement in the water area was 3 points. Wind gusts reach 17 meters per second.
 
All 30 sailors were lifted from the rafts by the fishing vessel "Alchan". No one was injured in the fire; one of the sailors injured his arm.
 
At about 08:00 (Moscow time) vessel with the sailors arrived in Vladivostok.
 
At 03:30 (Moscow time) multifunction MPSV07 salvage vessel "Spasatel Zaborschikov" started to extinguish the fire.
 
At 05:50 (Moscow time) multifunction salvage vessel "Spasatel Zaborschikov" was recalled and followed in the direction. The operation was led by rescue tug "Lazurit". There is no open burning on the damaged ship. Supposedly, the smoke was caused by the smoldering insulation.
 
Now the ship on fire is being towed to the shore. The tug with "Vitim" will arrive at the port of Vladivostok on the night of 08.03.21. "The operation of towing a burning ship is quite difficult. The speed is low, and vessel is banked 40-45 degrees".
 
"Spasatel Zaborschikov" is an unique multifunctional rescue vessel by her equipment and available technology; she was built at Russian shipyard due to the order of FSUC "State Customer Management of Maritime Transport Development Programs" of the Federal Agency of Maritime and River Transport of the Russian Federation. Vessel was built in behalf of Marine Rescue Service of RosMorRechFlot.
 
MPSV07 prj. was designed by Marine Engineering Bureau.
 
Multifunction salvage vessel of MPSV07 prj. is to carry out operations as follows:
 
• patrolling and emergency rescue duty at the navigation regions, fishing regions, oil and gas marine recovery regions;
• provide technical support and help in the regions dangerous for navigation and marine products catching, servicing of terminal transport operations;
• search and help vessels in distress;
• search, salvage, evacuation operations for people, rendering medical aid for people;
• taking emergency vessels off groundings and reefs, pumping out vessels' flooded spaces;
• towage of emergency vessels and objects to the place of refuge, also fulfillment marine towage of vessels and floating objects, including ice towages;
• fulfillment of marine salvage operations, including in ice conditions;
• provide assistance in fire combating on floating objects and coastal ones accessible from seaside;
• rear and technical service, including underwater diving works at the depth till 60 m;
• fire-extinguishing of burning oil on water surface, elimination of marine oil spills, including oils with flashpoint less than 60°C;
• survey and cleaning underwater hull part of vessels, floating and coastal objects;
• investigation of sea floor and damaged objects when depth is less than 1000 m.
 
Vessels of MPSV07 project have unrestricted navigation area, including sailing through the Northern Sea Route. For this purpose, the requirements of the Rules of RMRS, existing international conventions and "Requirements for construction and equipment of vessels sailing by the Northern Sea Route" have been fully taken into account during the designing and construction. For example, all the fuels, oils and other tanks with liquid pollutants are located in such way that the tank content doesn't contact with the outer shell.
 
The vessel was built due to Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping class notation of KM Arc 5 AUT1-ICS OMBO FF3WS DYNPOS-2 EPP Salvage ship.
 
Principal dimensions of the MPSV07 vessel are as follows:
 
Length overall is about 73.00 m;

Breadth (due waterline) is 15.50 m;
Design draught is 4.50 m;
Working draughts are 4.2-5.1 m.
 
The MPSV07 hull's form was created using the methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD modeling) with carrying out of the subsequent test model trials in towing tanks (deep-sea and ice ones). Full-turned rudder propellers (FRP) were accepted as the movement and manoeuvre units of vessels. Propellers of diameter 2600 mm are made of stainless steel. Drive of each FRP is provided by propulsion motor with capacity of 2265 kW. FRPs provide the speed of the vessel not less than 15 kn and bollard pull of about 75 t.
 
The maximum speed achieved during trials was of 15.6 knots.
 
The hull and rudder-propeller complex of the MPSV07 vessel is designed for ice class Arc 5, possibility of the vessel's operation at temperatures down to minus 40°C is provided.
 
Fuel stores are placed in deep-tanks in the area of ER. Tank capacity provides autonomy of the vessel for about 20 days in the mode of rescue and patrol duty.
