Vessel's name is "NIKOLAY KLINOV".
 
Flag is of the Russian Federation. St. Petersburg is the port of registry.
 
Dry cargo vessel project 005RSD03 is designed by the Marine Engineering Bureau (MEB).
 
This is the first vessel in the series which was modified for work on heavy fuel with viscosity till 380 СЃSt (masout).
 
Project belongs due to MEB internal classification to the vessels which are destined for "Sormovskiy"/"Volga-Balt" type replacement.

Vessel's speed is of 9.0 kn (fuel consumption is of 4.5 tons) in ballast condition and of 8 kn (fuel consumption is of 4.7 tons) in cargo loading condition with using single engine at 90% of capacity (saving operational mode for this series).
 
Movement and manoeuvrability of the vessel is provided by two stern full-circle rudder propellers with variable-pitch propeller in nozzles. The drive from main engines to rudder propellers is carried out through mechanical Z-gearing.
 
Designed vessel hull' life term is of 24 years. The ship steel of category RSD with a yield limit of 235 MPa was accepted for basic hull constructions.
 
The double bottom is designed for distributed load intensity of 7.5 t per sq.m that allows to use a bucket grab with cargo-lifting capacity 16 tons.
 
Autonomy in sea is of 20 days, in river it is of 15 days.
 
Vessel's keel was laid down on 29.12.04. She was launched on 11.08.06.
