A large hydrographic boat of project 23370G for the Northern Fleet was launched in Murmansk
A large hydrographic catamaran of project 23370G "Grigory Shadrin", built for the hydrographic service of the Northern fleet... The ceremony took place at the Murmansk Shipyard.
BGK "Grigory Shadrin" is the third boat of project 23370G and the second serial, built in the interests of the Russian Navy. The lead boat and the first serial boat are already in service in the Baltic and Black Sea fleets, respectively. The boat for the Northern Fleet was laid down at the KAMPO enterprise near Moscow on August 24, 2020. In early July this year, the modular units were delivered by road to the Murmansk Shipyard, where the final assembly was carried out.
The new BGK is expected to be outfitted on the water and undergo state tests. The boat will enter the Hydrographic Service of the Northern Fleet in the middle of autumn. BGK "Grigory Shadrin" is named in honor of the honored hydrographer Grigory Ilyich Shadrin, who made a significant contribution to the development and maintenance of navigation and hydrographic support for the actions of the Navy and the safety of navigation.
Vessels of the 23370G project are designed for pilotage and hydrographic work, setting (shooting) and servicing floating warning signs, delivery of maintenance personnel, repair crews, food, fuel and other cargo to coastal facilities, including those located on an unequipped coast. Boats have the ability to quickly measure depths with the use of an echo sounder in places where floating signs are placed.
The modular hydrographic boats of the catamaran type of the 23370Г project are the new version of the multipurpose vessels of the 23370М project. The displacement of the boat is about 140 tons. Boats are built in the interests of the Navigation and Oceanography Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for use by the hydrographic service of the Russian Navy.
