Dry cargo ship "Constructor Egorov" passed technical acceptance

The vessel was laid down three years ago. This is a completely new RSD71 project, developed for river-sea class vessels, especially for the Volga Shipping Company. Russia has not previously created such floating craft. The ship was built at the Okskaya Shipyard in the Nizhny Novgorod Region (Navashino). The design was developed by the Marine Engineering Bureau.


The design bureau was headed by Gennady Egorov, who unfortunately passed away on May 30.05.2021, 7. The new dry cargo ship was named in his honor. The purpose of the vessel is to transport both bulk and general cargo, including hazardous cargo. This can be scrap metal, round timber, coal, long items, sawn timber in packages, etc. The main advantage of the "Egorov Designer" is its versatility. The vessel is capable of transporting cargo at sea (deadweight 170 thousand 4 tons) or river (380 thousand XNUMX tons). Dimensions of the dry cargo ship:

✅ length, width - 119,65 and 16,98 m
✅ side height – 6 m
✅ draft in the river, sea – 3,6 and 4,9 m
✅ hold capacity – 9063 cubic meters of cargo
✅ duration of the voyage without calling at a port – up to 20 days

The vessel was launched last year, on October 23. The ship uses a modern automatic control system that supports and facilitates navigation. At the same time, "Constructor Egorov" meets international regulations, including Tier III: a standard regulating emissions of harmful nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere.

The customer of the dry cargo ship, JSC Volga Shipping Company, plans to receive at least twenty more ships of the RSD71 project in the near future. The first of them, in addition to Egorov, were named after other famous workers of the industry - Leonid Bagrov, Vladimir Yerygin, and Boris Korolev - a surgeon and academician, who is an honorary citizen of Nizhny Novgorod and the region.
