In Kaliningrad, resumed construction of a research vessel for the GUGI

The ship "Eugene Goriglejan" at the shipyard "Amber"

In Kaliningrad, resumed construction of the Eugene Gorigledzhan oceanographic research vessel (OIP) of project No. 02670, which is being built in the interests of the Main Department of Deep-Water Research (GUGI) of the Ministry of Defense.

At the Baltic Yantar Shipyard, the construction of the Yevgeny Goriglejan OIC resumed in 2018 was resumed. According to a publication in the factory newspaper, in early February, shipbuilders returned to the ship to continue work. This was achieved by a new contract concluded between the Ministry of Defense and the Yantar Shipyard, concluded on January 31 of this year.

In November 2018, work on the repair and conversion of the vessel was officially suspended, and throughout 2019 negotiations were held and issues were resolved with the customer on the further execution of the state contract. (...) an additional agreement was signed on the extension of the contract, which sets out the period in which we must complete the repair and conversion of the vessel

- stated in the press service of the enterprise.

According to the new contract, the ship should be transferred to the Ministry of Defense by the end of March next year.

According to the bmpd blog, the OIC "Eugene Goriglejan" of project 02670 is actually being rebuilt from the marine tugboat MB-305 of the project B-92 of Polish construction in 1983, the main task of the rebuilt vessel will be "carrying out underwater engineering works". The formal laying (actually re-laying) of the vessel "Eugene Gorigledzhan" was made at the Yantar Shipyard on March 19, 2016, with the deadline being 2017.

The conversion project was developed by Almaz TsMKB JSC. The displacement of the vessel after the conversion should be 4 thousand tons, length - 81 m, width - 16 m, autonomy - 30 days, crew - 32 people and 25 expedition members.

The vessel is named after Evgeny Alekseevich Goriglejan, a Soviet and Russian design engineer, general designer of special-purpose nuclear submarines at the Rubin Central Marine Design Bureau.

Sorry, nothing is clear now. That is, the ship was almost ready, since they were going to hand it over to the customer a year after the resumption of work, or did they drastically reduce the amount of work on board?

[bessmertniy]

Judging by the text, work even more than a year.

Well, this is a ship for the GU GI, and you can imagine at least a little what equipment and accessories it should have for carrying out "research work". Its not only that it is necessary to establish and regulate, it still has to be manufactured, and hence it is necessary to place an order for its production.

"at the end of March of NEXT year" means the body, the engine and most of the equipment are ready. It remains only to bring and assemble the apartment, as I understand it

[bessmertniy]

Orders were most likely placed earlier, but funding was backward. Now all that was needed was the go-ahead to move further.

Yes, and judging by it, there was more than one year of work

[rocket757]

Yes, long-term construction never benefits anyone ... the ship is also a victim of the "epic" ... "there is no money, and you ..." ???

The vessel is named in honor of Evgeny Alekseevich Gorigledzhan

Let them finish building, deo is necessary.

According to the bmpd blog, the OIC "Evgeny Goriglezhan" of project 02670 is actually being rebuilt from the MB-305 sea tug of the B-92 project of the Polish construction of 1983

Judging by the photo in the article, these are two completely different vessels. The first photo shows a "new building", not a refurbishment. How can you make a modern ship out of 40 years old scrap metal and, most importantly, what was so unique there so as not to build from scratch.

[sailor roman]

Of course, this will be a completely new vessel, for forty years the hull lining has worn out pretty much and needs to be replaced and strengthened to work in ice conditions, only the keel strip and part of the set will remain from the old one. It is clear that the cost of such modernization will cost the country more than the construction of a new ship. But when the decision was made about the alteration, someone convinced the leadership of the GUGI in its necessity, but as always, they thought better of it late.

[vladcub]

Cormorant, here's what I think: there is an error in the text and it was necessary to write: "project 02670 is actually a revised MB-305" at least it would be more logical.
It also bothers me that they took the 1983 building and are installing a new filling.
This would be justified if there are absolutely no other buildings, and somehow it is hard to believe

The ship of the "numbered" type "Naftogaz" is being refitted ...

The Yevgeniy Gorigledzhan vessel is being built on the basis of the MB-305 rescue tug, built in Poland at the Shchecin shipyard in 1983 and serving in the Northern and Baltic fleets, which reduced the cost of its construction by 40%.
