Shipowner: FSUE «Rosmorport»
Shipyard: JSC «Kanonersky Ship Repairing Yard» - Task: Supply of coatings of the AKRUS® trademark for the repair of anticorrosive of the icebreaker «Saint Petersburg»
The diesel-electric icebreaker «Saint Petersburg» is the second icebreaker in the project 21900 series, which was built by JSC «Baltic Shipyard» (Saint Petersburg) by order of the «Rosmorport». This is a two-deck vessel with two full-turn propeller columns with a total capacity of 16.4 MW. It was commissioned in 2009.
The shape of the vessel's hull is created considering new technological developments to reduce energy consumption for the destruction of ice and improve the operational qualities of the vessel.
Main features: GT 9491 tons, deadweight 7107 tons, displacement 14300 tons. LOA of the vessel is 114.8 m, height — 41 m, beam — 27.5 m, draft — 85, m. With a total displacement of 14300 tons, the St. Petersburg can pass ice 1.5 m thick and develop a speed of 17 knots on clean water. The icebreaker's autonomy is 30 days. There is a platform on board for receiving Ka-32 or Ka-226 helicopters.
The icebreaker is created for independent icebreaking of large-tonnage vessels up to 50 meters; towing vessels and floating systems in ice and on clean water, performing work to assist ships. To increase the efficiency of the icebreaker and reduce its payback period, the vessel can be used in the summer, including for servicing oil and gas fields and onshore terminals.
Home port: Saint Petersburg.
During the construction work, the following anticorrosive materials were used: the freeboard is painted with coatings AKRUS® Epoks С and the finishing layer AKRUS® Poliur. For painting the hull, the material was used AKRUS® Strong, which is used to protect the outer surface of the vessel from external forces in ice navigation conditions for icebreakers of all ice classes and vessels of the ice class Arc4 and higher.
