Marine Engineering Bureau has completed the design and obtained approval from regulatory authorities under Project PV22, freight and passenger ship intended for operation between the Island of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, MEB told IAA PortNews.
The ship was designed with participation of Central Marine Research and Design Institute and support of the Sakhalin Region Government and Sakhalin Shipping Company.

The hold capacity is 895 cbm (vs 208-215 cbm of the existing ships). The ship is able to carry 24 containers (including 8 refrigerated containers) and 6 passenger cars.
The ship is equipped with a 30.5 – tonne crane (vs 2.5-3.5 – tonne cranes of the existing ships.
The new concept offers higher maneuverability and improved icebreaking capacity as the ship’s design is based on rescue ship of Project MPSV07.
The redundancy is ensured by two main engines for to screws.
Class notation of PV22 design: КМ * Arc4 AUT1-ICS CONT (deck, cargo hold) DG (pack) Passenger ship by Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.
