Partnership with the Onego Shipyard. Scow «Rabochaya»
- Client: FSUE Rosmorport
- Task: AKRUS® brand coatings supply for the construction of the self-propelled dredging ship “Rabochaya”.
On 26 September 2018, a ceremonial launching event was held at the Onega Shipbuilding and Shiprepair Plant for the self-propelled hopper barge "Rabochaya," which forms part of the HB 600 project.
The "Rabochaya" is a self-propelled twin-screw hopper barge of the KM Ice1 R3-RSN AUT3 Hopper class, with construction number 203. The construction of the vessel was carried out at the Onega Shipbuilding and Shiprepair Plant in Petrozavodsk. Its design allows it to transport sediment from dredgers to discharge locations during dredging operations, typically operating as part of dredge convoys with either a bucket or refueler dredger.
The barge is equipped with a bottom-opening hull system. The main engines are located in the stern section of the vessel within protective casings, facilitating efficient maintenance and component replacement. Vessels of this project are intended for operation in the basins of the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and Baltic Sea.
The vessel's specifications are as follows:
- Length: 67.1 meters
- Overall width: 11.4 meters
- Cargo hold net capacity: 916 m3
- Autonomy for water, fuel, and provisions: 5 days
Its home port is St. Petersburg.
In the case of the self-propelled soil haulage barge "Rabochaya," coating systems from the AKRUS® company were employed.
AKRUS® company coatings are recommended for the corrosion protection of sea and river vessels.
The following products were employed during the painting process: the underwater section of the vessel was coated with AKRUS® Epoks S in a winter version, anti-fouling coating AKRUS® 042M.
In order to coat the remaining sections, the following materials were employed: AKRUS® Poliur, AKRUS® Prime, and AKRUS® Long.
