    Nevsky Shipyard has delivered two vessels in a series of five dry cargo vessels of Project RSD59 with one unit launched and two more under construction. Okskaya Shipyard has signed contracts for 15 more ships of Project RSD59.

    Thus, the number of ordered RSD59 ships is 60 (including 12 built ships, 28 under construction and 20 units in option).

     
    The vessel is designed for transportation of general, containerized cargo, timber, grain, oversized cargo and dangerous goods of 1.4S, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, 9 class in accordance with IC IMDG and Appendix B of the BC Code in the Caspian, Mediterranean, Black, Baltic, White and North Seas including sailings around Europe and in the Irish Sea during winter season. 

    The new series is a successor of RSD49 design which had three holds. RSD59 ships with extra full hull forms have a unique second hold, the largest among Volgo-Don Max ships.
