Launching a new ship in Zelenodolsk. Bashny.Net

August 17 at the Zelenodolsk plant named after Gorky (Tatarstan) held a solemn event dedicated to be launched high-speed passenger ship new-generation A145 project (the first of the series).

We design it in Petersburg "Agat Design Bureau". In the mid-1990s, it stood out from the company's largest national defense shipbuilding KB. The task was: to introduce the best development of the defense industrial complex, of course, already declassified in civil shipbuilding.



The mortgaged A145 project implemented a lot of know-how. In particular, in addition to shipbuilding technology has been used by those who have previously used only in the aircraft industry. This led to the unique speed and seaworthiness.



The design of the passenger ship provided extensive use of new aluminum alloys and special stainless steels.
Zelenodolsk Gorky Shipyard for the implementation of the project in the metal A145 was not chosen by chance. Today it can be said, the world leader in the construction of high-speed vessels river-sea class. Over the past decade there launched on just a few hundred high-speed vessels, including hydrofoil.



For the 115-year history, the plant built about a thousand military and civilian ships for the Navy of the USSR and Russia, as well as Germany, Yugoslavia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Algeria. Among them: unique ship "Bora" and "Samum", the flagship of the Caspian flotilla "Tatarstan", high-speed ships "Meteor", "Linda," boat "Terrier", etc., As well as various modifications of civilian vessels (barges, tankers, bulk carriers ). Other important areas of production at the plant are engineering, metallurgy, bridge construction.



Today, the plant builds modern frigates "Cheetahs" small missile ships, various modifications of promising high-speed ships, ships of the transport fleet. In addition, shipbuilding enterprise is expanding its range, mastering new direction - ship, a factory ship repair company created



A vessel of 145 is a high-speed passenger ship gliding type, carrying 150 passengers with luggage in passenger version with a speed of 40 knots at a distance of 200 miles in the coastal marine area in the main engine power 2h1440 kW.



The vessel maintains the excitement 5 balls, have tight bulkheads and remains stable even with two compartments flooded.



Court A145 project intended to replace morally and physically outdated hydrofoils like "Comet", "Colchis", "Sunrise" and "Katran". In the future we plan to use ships to transport passengers on tourist and regular routes of the Black Sea coastal area of ​​the Krasnodar Territory.



Project A145, is an innovative project of Russia in high-speed marine transportation. Currently, the plant, with the support of the Republic of Tatarstan, is building two units of such vessels.



Project A145 Fleet ships are built in accordance with the requirements of the world-renowned certification body Bureau Veritas, exercising control and supervision by international standards.



Specifications A145 passenger ship project

Length overall - about 35, 0 m
The length of the waterline - about 31, 0 m
Breadth - 6, 8 m
Depth - 2, 4 m



Use as a water jet propulsion allowed not only to improve driving performance, but also reduce the overall draft of the vessel, to get rid of the resistance of the projecting parts (screws, propeller shafts, brackets, rudders), present at the courts of classical architecture - on the A145 is simply no protruding parts. In addition, due to the presence of two spaced board controlled water jets, capable of creating thrust vector control, vessel maneuvering characteristics A145 project far exceed the properties of screw ships. Thus, the ship design A145 can turn on a dime, move lag, with the length of stay in the run-length body
