SDS08 multifunctional marine diving vessel "Stloniy grad Yaroslavl" prevented pollution of Astrakhan port area



According to information from press-service of the Marine Salvage Service of Rosmorrechflot, on 25-29.02.2016 SDS08 marine diving vessel (MDV) "Stloniy grad Yaroslavl" and emergency-rescue team of Caspian Branch of the FBE Marine Salvage Service of Rosmorrechflot prevented pollution of Astrakhan port area.
 
On 25.02.2016 information concerning oil pollution of water area in the regions of the Ikryanoe village and Ship-Repairing Yard named in honour of A.P.Guzhvin, was received.
 
Forces and equipment of Caspian Branch of the FBE Marine Salvage Service of Rosmorrechflot were forwarded for oil pollution elimination: MDV "Stloniy grad Yaroslavl" and emergency-rescue team with oil spill equipment. About 4300 kg of oil was gathered on 25.02-29.02 during operation for oil spill localization and elimination. Effected measures didn't permit further pollution pf astrakhan port area.
 
SDS08 MDV " Stloniy grad Yaroslavl " was built at Yaroslavl Shipyard in 2010 due to order of FSUE "State Customer Management of Maritime Transport Development Programs" of the Federal Agency of Maritime and River Transport of the Russian Federation.
 
SDS08 prj. was designed by Marine Engineering Bureau.
 
SDS08 marine diving vessel has Ice 2 class, inclined stem and transom aft end, long forecastle, deckhouse located fore. Vessel also has engine room located aft, diesel main engines, two controllable-pitch propellers and bow thruster. Her principal dimensions are as follows:
 
• Length overall is 38.35 m;
• Length between perpendiculars is 36.35 m;
• Breadth overall is about 7.92 m;
• Breadth (due waterline) is 7.70 m;
• Design draught is 2.35 m;
• Full speed is 12 kn;
• Economical speed is 8 kn;
• Main engines capacity is 2 x 442 kW;
• Autonomy is 5 days.
 
Russian Maritime Registry of Shipping class is KM Ice 2 R2 AUT3-C OMBO SDS>100.
 
Project considerably differs from existing similar vessels:
 
1. Diving equipment, mounted on vessel, allows carrying out diving and underwater works on depth till 100 m. There are no analogues of such equipment at existing vessels that are operated by State Maritime Salvage Department of RF.
 
2. Vessel can carry out fire extinguishing on other vessels and floating objects using two mechanical-foam stream nozzles.
 
3. Vessel is equipped by tug winch that allows carrying out tugging functions.
 
4. Vessel will provide oil spill response functions if boom and skimmer are placed onboard.
 
5. Vessel's characteristics and special equipment provide carrying out of diving salvage operations during sea state up to 3, and vessel can sail to the salvage place while waves' height is 7 m.
 
6. Two main high-speed engines with capacity of 442 kW each provide required vessel's running qualities, work to the variable-pitch propellers. Bow thruster with capacity of 120 kW is mounted for vessel's keeping at place of operational works.
 
7. Up-to-date remote-controlled underwater apparatus allow inspection of a sea-bottom, underwater part of ships' hull and rudder propellers of vessels, underwater part of waterside structures on depth till 100 m.
 
8. Equipment for underwater welding on depth till 25 m and underwater cutting on depth till 100 m is used for salvage operations, repair of underwater part of vessels, repair of hydraulic structures, carrying out of rescue operations. In addition, cargo lifting equipment allows lifting objects of weight till 2.0 t from depth till 100 m.
 
9. Vessel carries out water pumping from wrecking vessel's compartments and also pontoon air blow during participation in re-floating.
 
Diving equipment consists of:
 
• pressure chamber for 4 divers;
• diving half-cone with control board;
• diving equipment with SUPERLITE helmet and DESCO ventilate helmet;
• diving equipment of universal "dry" type;
• divers' water-heater facilities;
• communication facilities;
• underwater illumination facilities;
• underwater television;
• underwater welding/cutting;
• hydraulic tools;
• pumping facilities;
• soil man facilities;
• remote-controlled underwater apparatus;
• diving ladder.
 
Thereby, unique combination of equipment mounted on vessel, and also high-powered power plant allows carrying out almost any specialized works related to diving-technical works on depth till 100 m. In addition vessel can carry out fire extinguishing on other vessels using two mechanical-foam stream nozzles with capacity of 180 cub.m. per hour and carry out tug functions (ground-mooring-tug winch with force of 7 tons is mounted aft), pump water out from compartment of wrecking vessel, participate into oil spill operations. Such combination of functions is unique for vessel with length of 38 m only.
