CNIIMF CJSC plans to complete the development of technical projects for new generation vessels in the second quarter of 2014. As IAA PortNews was told at the company, CNIIMF means the projects for Arctic supply vessels and ferries.
Non-conventional technical solutions applied will make it possible to improve dimensions and weights of the new vessels as well as to expand the range of cargo transported by such vessels.
CNIIMF says it has applied innovative solutions to develop technologies for off-shore loading of cargo in Arctic regions.
As a result, feasibility report has been made for Arctic supply vessels including ships with double-fuel engines; performance specifications have been developed and basic designs for new generation supply vessels are ready.
CNIIMF has also completed R&D work “Development of the conceptual design for Far East seas” says press center of CNIIMF CJSC.
Feasibility study has been performed for a high-speed sea going car-and-passenger ferry. Performance specifications have been developed and basic designs are ready.
This ferry can accommodate 124 berthed passengers and has 50 seats; its vehicle capacity is 8 passenger cars of (jeep type) or 4 trucks (KamAZ type).
Besides, CNIIMF has developed basic design for passenger (cargo & passenger) and cruise ships for different navigation areas; feasibility report has been made for cruise and passenger vessels; performance specifications have been developed for basic projects as well as basic designs for ice class cruise ship for 200 passengers, project 990, cargo and passenger coastal craft for local lines with the capacity of 50/100/150 passengers, project 989.
Technical projects 1861М for White sea has been approved by supervisory authorities.
Central Marine Research and Design Institute (CNIIMF) is a scientific research association of scientists established in the Soviet period as an institute for improved use of marine transport.
