Yantar Shipyard enters export market with multipurpose tug project


Yantar has been building vessels for the Russian market since 1945 and began working with other European markets in the early 1990s. Tis has led to a new design project for a multipurpose fire-fighting (Fi-Fi) tug.

TECHNICAL PARTICULARS HS3612 “Bison”


Y


antar shipyard has five slipways, a heated building hall and a complex of workshops enabling the turnkey


building of vessels of various types up to 20,000dwt. Vessels are also launched via a floating dock at the yard. Since 1945 the yard has constructed various different vessels including tugs, passenger ferries, salvage vessels and other special purpose vessels. Yantar also has experience in ship hull


fabrication with deep outfitting for ships of various types. In the early 1990s the yard began to cooperate with European companies from Germany, the Netherlands and Norway and continues to do so. Yantar cooperates most actively with


Germany’s Abeking & Rasmussen (A&R). In 2007 two hulls for ocean-going cruising motor yachts and a hull for a unique small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH)-class yacht were built for A&R. Tanks to the special features of the SWATH it outperforms big yachts and offers larger living quarters while providing comfort for passengers. In addition to large rooms on each


deck, the vessel features good performance characteristics in all sea conditions. Another relatively recent vessel built by


Yantar as part of a cooperation agreement with A&R is an environmental protection patrol vessel named Sprut. Sprut is the


Ship & Boat International July/August 2010


result of an adaptation to the requirements set by its Russian customer – Russian FSB Frontier Service – made by St Petersburg- based Almaz Design Bureau to the original design by A&R. Te vessel was delivered in August 2009. Yantar is currently offering a unique


multipurpose fire-fighting tug project called Bison. Bison was developed by HS Marine Engineering, a Russian design office, and has the project number HS3612. Te Bison-type tug will have a bollard pull


of up to 70tonnes and features a number of advantages over other Russian-built vessels. It will exercise technical support and assistance in regions deemed dangerous for navigation, can re-float emergency vessels, pump water out from flooded sections of emergency vessels, exercise sea towing of the vessels, assist in fire-extinguishing onboard vessels and support diving operations. Bison will have accommodation for an


8-person crew (2 x cabins for 1 person + 3 x cabins for 2 persons). Onboard the vessel there will also be quarters for special personnel, public rooms, sanitary facilities, mess room, galley and laundry. Bison will be fitted with two 650kg Pool N anchors, a 40tonnes anchor/towing winch at 10m/ min, a towing hook at 70tonnes SWL and other deck equipment.
