The «Valeriy Onischuk", second vessel in a series of Deck Cargo Ships of project DCV52, built at "Yuzhny Sevastopol" Dockyard, on April 1, 2014 returned after her sea trials, the series designer Marine Engineering Bureau said.
The DCV52 project is a modification of the D080M-series deck cargo ships and was developed to comply with the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping requirements to the class KM L4 R2.
The DCV52 series vessels are designed for offshore transshipment of coal, for transportation on open deck general and bulk cargoes, including metal, wood, coal, heavy lift and oversized cargoes.
The DCV ships will operate primarily in the Far East, in Sakhalin based ports, so the vessel dimensions were chosen to satisfy the depths of the ports water area.
General characteristics: LOA over fenders - 75,00 m, overall breadth (over fenders) - 16.50 m, LWL draft (on international routes) - 3.24 m, LWL DWT - 1861 tonnes , R3 class draft (offshore and coastal navigation, cargo transshipment) - 3,364 m, DWT in R3 areas - 1992 tonnes, safe deck cargo load - 5.5 t / m ².
The project upgrade gives the ship a substantially increased endurance, up to 50 days, thanks to additional fuel tanks onboard.
In 1947 the then Minister of Transport of the USSR ordered to create a new Black Sea shipyard on the shores of the bay Kamyshovaya. Ship Repair Yard Yuzhny Sevastopol was created as a LLC in March 2002. The dockyard is located in the water area of Sevastopol Sea Fishing Port. The dockyard has nine berths, a PD-6 floating dock, a PK-66 floating crane, an MB-21 series tug and several pontoons.
