SIXTEEN largest by displacement dry-cargo "super full" vessels of mixed river-sea navigation "Volgo-Don Max" class of project RSD59.
 
The lead vessel in the RSD59 series, the "Paula Macaria" was ranked among the 2018 Significant Ships of 2018 by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA).
 
Lessees - shipping companies "Pola Rise", "Petrotrans", "Astrol", "Alfa", "Idel".
 
Totally three shipyards (Krasnoe Sormovo, Nevsky Shipyard, Oka Shipyard) have built 47 vessels of RSD59 project (sixteen more are under construction - 11 at Krasnoe Sormovo, 3 at Oka Shipyard, 2 at Nevsky Shipyard).
 
Built in 2018-2021, 47 "super complete" multi-purpose dry cargo vessels of the "Volgo-Don Max" class of the RSD59 project have no analogues in the world and are significantly better in their technical and economic parameters than all the vessels available in the domestic market.
 
On September 27, 2021 multi-purpose dry-cargo vessel "Astrol-2" with deadweight 8144 tons of RSD59 project by "Astrol" shipping company successfully completed the longest for RSD59 vessel round trip on Northern Sea Route from Arkhangelsk to Green Point (Chersky settlement, Kolyma River) to Arkhangelsk. The total length of the record route was more than 5000 nautical miles, the duration was almost 40 days.
 
Advantages of RSD59 project (by the example of "Pola Fiva" vessel with enhanced sea function) in comparison with the best of previously built dry cargo vessels of "Volgo-Don Max" class of RSD49 project:
 
• deadweight in the river with draught of 3.60 m 5320 tons (RSD49 project has draught of 4507 tons), which is more by 813 tons;
• deadweight with maximal draught of 4.706 m 8144 tons (project RSD49 has 7143 tons with maximal draught of 4.70 m) which is more by 1000 tons;
• availability of a long hold L = 77.35 m (on the vessel of the project RSD49 L = 52 m);
• hold height is higher by 620 mm (9000 mm) than on the vessel of RSD49 project which allows to transport containers with height up to 9.6 feet - "high cube containers" (3 such containers in height);
• movement and controllability are provided by two rudder propeller units (better maneuverability in the narrow waters, more cargo space due to the reduction of size of engine room).
