On 13 July 2017, Tatarstan based Zelenodolsk Plant named after M. Gorky (AK BARS HOLDING) laid down two high-speed passenger ships of Project А145Е designed by Agat Design Bureau LLC. The shipyard says the vessels were ordered by a customer from the United Arab Emirates.
The A 145 vessels are the comfortable high-speed ships capable of carrying 150 passengers with luggage in the marine coastal area at a speed of 40 knots for a distance of 400 miles unrefueled.
The vessel’s hydrodynamic system developed by Agat Design Bureau LLC allows for a practical combination of high speed, high sea-going qualities and fuel efficiency.
Modern-looking A 145 vessels meet the latest safety regulations and comply with comfort standards.
The contract for construction of two high-speed passenger ships of Project А145Е was signed by Zelenodolsk Plant and UAE customer in 2017 at the IX International Economic Summit “Russia — Islamic World: KazanSummit 2017”.
The shipyard has been building А145 ships from 2010. Two vessels of this project have been operating in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District from 2012.
