Baltiysky Zavod, a part of United Industrial Corporation (OPK), successfully completed the state sea trials of diesel-electrical icebreaker "St. Petersburg", constructed by request of Russian Maritime Port (Rosmorport). During testing the vessel gave excellent results of functioning of all board systems. Members of state committee have appreciated strong compliance of all mechanisms of the vessel with domestic and international standards.
The second diesel-electrical icebreaker of multifunctional icebreakers was being tested in the Gulf of Finland for 9 days. Principal concern was paid to the checking of the head energetic installation, propulsion complex, navigation and communication systems. Altogether sea trials of "St. Petersburg" lasted for 4 days. White nights were favorable to it therefore the working at the icebreaker was running round the clock.
According to this checking the equipment, including sonar and remote controlled underwater device, functioned properly. About 150 persons were on board the ship, these are specialists of Baltiysky Zavod, crew, representatives of company's partners and also members of state committee, including representatives of Russian Maritime Shipping, Rospotrebnadzor and Rosmorport (customer). After testing specialists of Baltiysky Zavod started taking the inspection. The vessel is planned to supply to the customer in July 2009.
"St. Petersburg" is the second diesel-electric line icebreaker, built by request of Rosmorport. It constitutes two-decked vessels with two propulsors of total capacity 16 MW. Due to this peculiarity it has high mobility and passability. On the 28th of May 2008 it was launched. In addition to it, the icebreaker was equipped with such a particular outfit to fulfill the search of sunken ships at the depth of 300 m and the conducting of pioneering. The shape of the vessel's hull has been especially designed with application of the latest solutions for decreasing the power input in ice-breaking operations and improving sea-worthiness. The icebreaker is designed for escorting targe tankers (50 m beam); towing operations for vessels in icy and open waters. High mobility lets the icebreaker carry out salvage operations during roughness force.
