 with reference to the press service of the enterprise.

In parallel with the descent, the company is actively working on the development of the modern Ukrainian fleet, as well as carrying out planned activities for the maintenance of existing self-propelled and non-self-propelled vessels. Thirteen vessels are currently in operation.

Project T410 is a port tug-pusher, which is designed to push non-self-propelled vessels with a deadweight of up to 3 thousand tons, the formation of non-self-propelled vessels in a caravan, mooring operations, cargo flights in shallow water, maintenance of non-self-propelled vehicles and other vessels. The maximum length of the vessel is 15.45 m, the width of the hull is 6.70 m, the height of the side is 1.85 m, the draft is 1.20 m, the total tonnage is 80 tons, and the speed is 5-7 knots.


The tug is equipped with the latest equipment from the world's leading manufacturers: 2 main engines from Scania (Sweden); 2 screw columns from DTG Propulsion BV (Netherlands), 2 auxiliary diesel generators from SIARigasDizelis DG (Latvia), etc. Deck-mooring equipment, which includes bow anchor-mooring winches, hand spire, towing hook with a system of remote recoil of the tow rope, deck crane-beam for lifting / lowering, hydraulic mooring winches, is already mounted on the ship.

The vessel will perform, first of all, port works, releasing tugs of other projects. Due to their small size, these tugs are more maneuverable and will be more economical than others, which will save in particular fuel during the work (as intended). After the ship was launched, the shipyard specialists began installing engines and equipment of the propulsion power complex. The tug is preparing for mooring and running tests.
