On February 15, 2021, began cutting metal for the construction of the sixth large freezer fishing trawler of ST-192 project -192 for the Russian Fishery Company (RFC).
The contract for the construction of a series of trawlers (8 + 2 in option) for the Russian Fisheries Company (RFC) was signed in October 2017 as part of the state program of investment quotas.
The first trawler "Kapitan Vdovichenko" was launched in March 2020, equipment for fish processing and fish grinding factories is being installed on it, work is underway to connect an electric cable, install lining of living quarters. The second vessel of the series, Mechanic Maslak, launched in June, is also undergoing outfitting work. The handover of the first pair of large freezer fishing trawlers is scheduled for 2021.
The second pair of trawlers - "Mechanic Sizov" and "Captain Martynov" - were laid down in June and August of this year, respectively. In 2022 they will become part of the Russian fishing fleet.
“This year we have a number of important events ahead of us. The first pair of super trawlers will be handed over to the company, the second will be launched, the keels of the fifth and sixth vessels will be laid, - said Dmitry Sapov, deputy director general of the RFC for fleet construction. - The need to complete the construction and renovation of the fleet as soon as possible is now more evident than ever. It is important for the company, as well as for the entire industry, to obtain additional processing capacities in order to replace raw materials exports with products of deep processing and diversify sales markets. "
In total, Admiralty Shipyards will build 10 supertrawlers for the RFC as part of the investment quotas program. The capacity of the new vessels is designed to catch 60 thousand tons of fish per year and deep processing up to 100% of the catches. Every year each vessel will be able to produce 15 thousand tons of fillets, mince and surimi, more than 8 thousand tons of other products, including Pollock roe and other fish by-products, as well as about 6 thousand tons of high-quality fish meal and fat from main production waste.
The new vessels ensure the highest level of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness currently available. CO2 emissions per tonne of fish caught will be halved compared to vessels used today.
Crews are provided with the most comfortable working and living conditions on board.
In December 2020, the RFC received the first supertrawler built by the Tersan shipyard (Turkey). 10 vessels at the Admiralty shipyards are built in pairs, with a gap of about a year between the keels laying of each pair. The handover of the first two vessels is scheduled for the second half of 2021.
