The source told about the lack of tugs for the submarines of the Federation Council

Submarine crews of the North fleet, based in the Gulf (bay) of Western Persons, periodically encounter the problem of a shortage of tugboats, reports Mil.Press FLOT with reference to fleet sources.

According to the interlocutor, in case of need emergency release of the submarine from the base, there is no certainty that the tug will be able to provide it in a timely manner, since the auxiliary vessels are constantly based in Polar and Murmansk.

According to him, tugboats are ordered in advance, but they need time to reach West Face. They cannot remain permanently in a narrow bay.

Another source, the former submarine commander, noted that the problem of a shortage of tugboats is not new. In his opinion, it is associated with shortcomings of weekly planning at the headquarters of the Federation Council: quite often exits are planned without taking into account the weather and the workload of auxiliary vessels. Because of this, they are periodically late.

But there is another reason - the turnover rate due to the low salaries of crew members and captains. So, according to the interlocutor, the skipper of the off-shore tug gets about 50 thousand rubles per month. This circumstance leads to a decrease in the professional level of captains, he added.

The publication specifies that the tugs of the Northern Fleet are serving in the 566 and 567 teams of support vessels. They are based respectively in Murmansk and Polar. The base Western Person placed combat units 11-th and 18-th divisions of submarines of the Northern Fleet.

Yes, these tugboats are being built now .. There are so many dissatisfied on the site. Give big ships, not tugs! Strange.

[Valter1364]

The point is not in the number of tugboats, but in places of their basing that are not convenient for divers.

[Archivist Vasya]

And it’s true, there was just a couple of weeks a note that one of the fleets was replenished with a new tug, and they still have few. Would not be a battleship ...

[Alexander Romanov]

While running I looked at Yandex, found Kuzi with security ships. Three ships and three boats go out with him. That year was probably

A tugboat, perhaps I see only one here, next to Kuzey ... Well, someone is moving behind.

Two Kuzyu are being dragged, and there were still a lot of tugboats on the piers, and so, apparently, the whole group was dragged on a hike

Many times I left Severomorsk and I never saw anyone being taken out by tugboats. In the Western Face, it is most likely that the tugboat should be on insurance when leaving, just in case, but there are different cases.

Go to Yandex maps and see, the quality of large-scale images is simply excellent. Everything is visible remarkably.
Although judging by your comment, tugboats are not needed at all

[seregin-s1]

The tugs are needed and laid down. By the way, the picture clearly shows that "Kuznetsov" could do without them.

[gunnerminer]

Tugs are needed not only for TAVKR, and not only in the main base of the KSF. For other fleets they are also needed.

In the photo "Bratsk" is a beautiful boat .. :) The coat of arms of the city immediately noticed

[donavi49]

What is a beauty? Soviet surrender. Since 2003 year is under repair. Since 2013, the Navy was tired of financing this repair, and they replaced the general contractor. The boat is dead - that’s why they were taken (with a friend) from the Dutch ship to the Zvezdochka.

[FORCE 38GB]

Greetings, dear :) Yes, I live just next to Bratsk :) It’s nice to see my native names .. :) In general, it’s nice when in honor of the cities the units of the fleet are called :) In honor of my city Ust-Ilimsk even two units are named .. one really already cut .. :(

[jjj]

"To meet the morning dawn - along the Angara ..."

[FORCE 38GB]

Therefore, Donavi 49 is still nice to see native ships :) MPK Ust-Ilimsk and tanker Ust-Ilimsk

[Archivist Vasya]

Wow! To transport boats on the ship, they came up with it. It should be noted a very interesting ship, as it doesn’t flood it in a storm. In this photo it is not clear, I saw a similar one, but the tail part in the frame was closer, and they are there in terrible! condition ...

[gunnerminer]

Non-disclosure subscriptions were selected from the Dutch crew.

[Ros 56]

It’s not necessary to go fishing and tugging for vodka, then that's enough.

[ver_]

... to equip boats with oars ...

[pomegranate]

Hmm ...
That grain is not delivered then the buckets are not enough.

[Topotun]

It’s better if there aren’t enough tugboats for the submarine - rather than the other way .... Tugboats are easier and faster to build.

Recently I visited the site "Made with us" in the "Fleet" section there was information about the delivery of the next harbor tugs to the Navy and the number of tugs of this type handed over before was given - about 10 pieces. And from the article it is clear that the matter is not in the number, but in the organization of the tug service. Well, there is already a question for the fleet management and port management. the port is responsible for the operation of tugs. So I don’t want to push the head of the port, but I won’t draw conclusions to drive him to the deer in the tundra. The current issue is being resolved in working order. Why did the media take out

[gunnerminer]

The number of tugs that they write about should be multiplied by about five. And the pace of construction should be tripled.

[_Peroun_]

It’s not the tugs, but the salary, the article writes about it. Tugs are civilian personnel, not military personnel. I myself am a civilian navigator, I was offered to go to the SF, salary 30 thousand. the navigator. And in the merchant fleet I get 220 thousand navigator, well, that’s the point for me to go there. That's the whole problem, there are enough tugs, there are no personnel. More precisely, they exist, only all work in the merchant fleet and in foreign companies.

[Dzafdet]

Wherever Vovchik and Dimon throw, everywhere a wedge comes out ...

[petrol cutter]

However, I strongly doubt that the skipper gets fifty dollars, and even in Murmansk. Don’t go to the grandmother, there may be surcharges and other bonuses. I visited in those parts. He worked at the shipyard.
