The XII international scientific and technical conference "Innovations in shipbuilding and ocean engineering", dedicated to the memory of General Director of the Marine Engineering Bureau, Professor, Doctor of Engineering Sciences Gennady Yegorov, was held in Nikolaev in September 30 - October 01, 2021 in Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding (former Nikolaev Shipbuilding Institute, Rector Eugene Trushlyakov).
 
A total of 204 papers were presented by experts on various aspects of the theory and practice of shipbuilding and fleet operations.
 
During the plenary session, the Marine Engineering Bureau will present a report on the scientific and technical results of Professor Gennady Vyacheslavovich Egorov's work: "Professor Gennady Vyacheslavovich Egorov: A man of the era".
 
Egorov Gennady Vyacheslavovich, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, founder of the Marine Engineering Bureau (1966 - 2021).
 
Fellow of Royal Institution of Naval Architects (FRINA),
Member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME),
Member of the International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC) for more than 20 years,
Presidium Member of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping,
Presidium Member of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Russian River Register,
Member of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Shipping Register of Ukraine,
Academician of the Transport Academy of Ukraine,
Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Shipbuilding of Ukraine,
Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine 2011.
 
Born on 23 March 1966 in Odessa.
 
Graduated with honours from school N4 in 1982. In 1988 he graduated with "red" diploma from Odessa Institute of Marine Engineers (OIIMF) with speciality "Shipbuilding and shiprepair". In 1992 he finished postgraduate study at OIIMF in department "Shipbuilding Mechanics".
 
From 1993 to 1995 he worked as a senior researcher and lecturer in the Department of Ship Structure Mechanics at OIIMF.
 
In 1993 he completed his PhD thesis on "Development of methods for optimising strength solutions in the operation of ships".
 
In 1995 he set up the Marine Engineering Bureau in Odessa and in March 2000 a similar firm in St Petersburg and headed both companies until his last moment of life.
 
In 2005 he completed his doctoral thesis on "Methodology for Ensuring Reliability and Safety of Hulls of Ships in Restricted Sailing Areas".
 
Since 2008 he has been a professor in the Department of Ship Theory and Design at the National University of Shipbuilding (Nikolaev).
 
He has received various awards, the Merit Badge of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, the Honorary Worker of the Russian River Register and the Honorary Worker of the Shipping Register of Ukraine.
 
The 2011 State Prize was awarded for the development of a new generation of universal transport vessels and means of ocean engineering.
 
Prepared, wrote and published personally and in co-authorship more than 1000 scientific works, including 6 monographs, among which: "Experience of building ships using elements of the operated fleet" (co-authored), "Design and construction of coasters and mixed vessels", "Creation of universal transport ships and means of ocean engineering" (co-authored), "Designing ships of limited navigation areas on the basis of risk theory", "Liberty means freedom" and many others.
 
He has given numerous lectures, tutorials and webinars on topical issues in shipping and shipbuilding.
 
In 2020, he was actively involved, providing calculated engineering support for the complex operation to lift and dispose of the "Delphi" tanker that was polluting the Odessa coastline.
 
Under Gennady Vyacheslavovich's management, the Bureau has evolved from a small firm dealing solely with hull calculation tasks and scientific research for classification societies to an organization that performs virtually the entire range of engineering work for shipping and shipbuilding.
 
Passed away on 30 May 2021 at the age of 55 while he was on a business trip.

In addition, the Marine Engineering Bureau participated in the conference by presenting, in addition to the report at the plenary session, five more reports in the sections on the most current scientific and practical problems of national shipbuilding and shipping for discussion by the shipbuilding community.
 
1. About the design of modern cargo-passenger vessel "Admiral Nevelskoy" of PV22 project with high ice class.
Authors: G.V. Egorov, A.G. Egorov, I.A. Ilnitsky.
 
Analysis of the characteristics of existing cargo-passenger vessels for passenger and cargo traffic on the Sakhalin - Kuril Islands line has been performed. The route conditions have been analysed. Main characteristics of new generation vessel of PV22 project are defined. The experience of the design and construction of vessels of the PV22 project is shown.
 
2. Features of the Chinese waterway transport.
Authors: G.V. Egorov, A.G. Egorov.
 
Analysis of water transport in China has been performed. It is shown that the first three (in terms of traffic volume) rivers in the world are the Chinese Yangtze, Pearl River and Grand Canal. The stages of China's water transport development are analysed.
 
3. Features of China's river fleet.
Authors: G.V. Egorov, A.G. Egorov.
 
Analysis of the Chinese river fleet has been performed. It is shown that at the beginning of the 21st century the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China together with the provincial governments launched a large-scale fleet renewal programme. The entire PRC waterway fleet has been renewed and is still under construction.
 
4. Actual Issues of Design, Operation and Construction of the Chinese River Cruise Passenger Fleet.
Author: A.G. Egorov.
 
The features of river cruises in the People's Republic of China are highlighted, the main cruise companies are identified, the requirements for design and construction of river cruise passenger vessels are analysed. An analysis of passenger transportation by water transport in the People's Republic of China was performed. By 2030 the Chinese cruise market (sea and river) is expected to be the largest in the world with 8-10 million passengers.
 
5. Research of the characteristics of China's river cruise passenger fleet.
Author: A.G. Egorov.
 
A survey of the Chinese river cruise passenger vessel (RCPV) fleet has been performed. As of January 2021, there are 29 RCPV of international level in service on the Yangtze River. A further 6 RCPV are being completed and will be handed over in 2021-2023. The average age of operating RCPV is 12.1 years. The total passenger capacity is 10889, including vessels to be completed shortly, 14739. The average load factor of the RCPV in 2017 was 75-82%.
