Towing of the dredger Borey



Project Summary: 

  • Duration: October 16 – November 16, 2023
  • Route: Vytegra settlement – Torovo settlement
  • Object: floating, non-self-propelled dredger “Borey”. Characteristics: 72.0 x 14.0 x 4.2 m. Draft – 2,65 m
  • Project fleet: ship “Hero Ivan Sivko” and tug-pusher “Leonid Belyaev”, lock type (prosp. 887A).

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:

  • Total length of the train without towing line was 140.07 m, width of the train was 14.0 m.The object was towed along Onega Lake up to Vytegorsk buoy by the head tug “Hero Ivan Sivko” accompanied by auxiliary tug “Leonid Belyaev”. Along the rivers and canals the towing was carried out in the composition: head tug “Hero Ivan Sivko”, auxiliary holding tug “Leonid Belyaev”.

    The project realization period increased 2 times. The customer incorrectly stated the dimensions of the dredger (submitted a parameter that did not take into account the cutter), so the auxiliary tug could not fit into the lock chambers and had to go through double locking.

    IMPORTANT: our competitive advantage for the customer is in the price of transportation!
