"Sevmash" began manufacturing a batoport of a new dry dock for "Admiral Kuznetsov"

Sevmash began manufacturing a batoport for a new dry dock being built at the 35th shipyard in Murmansk to dock the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. This is stated in the message of the United Construction Corporation (USC).

The contract for the manufacture of the batoport was signed in August 2021. The product is intended for a new 2-chamber dry dock on the territory of the 35th shipyard. A batoport is a floating hydraulic gate designed to separate the dry dock chamber from the outer water area.

As explained, cutting of metal for sections of the batoport is carried out in the hull-processing shop of Sevmash, in total it is planned to process about 2 thousand tons of metal. Work on the manufacture of the structure will be carried out in three workshops of the enterprise, the transfer of the finished product will be made this year, but the exact dates are not known.

The finished batoport will have the following characteristics: length - 77,5 m, width - 13,5 m, height - about 21 m. Electricity is supplied and coolant is supplied to the heating system from the shore. The crew of the batoport - 4 people.

It is noted that the company has experience in building batoports, two similar products were made at Sevmash for their own needs.

The contract for the modernization of the dry dock at the 35th shipyard for docking the Admiral Kuznetsov was signed in July 2019 after the flooding of the floating dock PD-50. The modernization itself consists in the restructuring of two adjacent dry docks of the plant (one 187 m long and 28 m wide at the top, and the other 236 m long and 30,8 m wide at the top, both docks have a bottom width of 22 m) into one large dock by demolishing the partition between them. As a result of the modernization, the largest dry dock in Russia will be created to receive large vessels and ships, which will have a length of 335 m and a width of 60 m along the bottom and 70 m along the top.

So the news next to the rock rodents, the same dry docks were doing hefty! Can you take them to use?

[Uncle lee]

length - 77,5 m, width - 13,5 m, height - about 21 m.

Big slug!

Sevmash undertook, this one will do. The question is who will supply the pumps? Childhood passed near these docks, I never thought that there would be such an interest in them. There was one of the holes nearby for us, to the forbidden North Sea zone. .

[Alex_Bora]

Rosta is a district of Murmansk, where the 35th shipyard is located. And the border of the Severomosk ZATO is further

[tralflot1832]

Previously, everything was blocked off, the railway line, and that one was with a fence and gates and guards, above the current base of Atomflot. The checkpoint on the road to Severomorsk, right on the hill next to the dump and the fence to the arsenal, there was our second hole. Here in the second hole, a street friend led a "sabotage" group of the Pskov airborne division to Severomorsk. When it was time to serve. We spent a day on the hill with a view of the base and went out to the inspectors. The task was completed. The group went on an extraordinary vacation. It was in the early 80s. car. It was cool to see at the checkpoint, the guards of the "oligarch" with their faces in the asphalt, while they figured out who they were. Now everything has changed.

Since the site has a limited number of users related to the construction of dry docks, it can be mentioned that:

Batoport (also botaport, from French bateau-porte) is a floating hydraulic gate, usually used to block the entrance to the dock. To cover the dock, the batoport is filled with water, while it sits on the bottom of the dock and is pressed with special protrusions against ledges made along the contours of the batoport in the walls and bottom of the dock.
In a dry dock, as the dock dries out, the batoport is pressed more and more tightly by its thresholds against the walls of the dock due to the difference in pressure on it outside and inside the dock, and thereby blocks the access of water to the inside of the dock.

[Alien From]

Thanks for clarifying!

[dzvero]

It looks like a plug with controlled buoyancy.

[tralflot1832]

The dry dock should be divided into two by another "gate" when there is no aircraft carrier and aircraft carrier in the chamber, for smaller ships. Judging by the size of the dock, there is infrastructure for servicing a promising aircraft carrier. Now we are waiting for the construction of a berth for an aircraft carrier with all the infrastructure, electricity, water , compressed air, fuel lines with a tank farm and heat. As soon as they are built, it means that a full-size aircraft carrier is just around the corner.

[Barberry25]

Well, logically, they should be invested in future projects, and they also talked about modernization, it’s just that in fact we have nowhere else to build aviks

[tralflot1832]

I don’t think that the plant’s dry dock 35 will be used for the construction of an aircraft carrier. It’s better to use the Novatek Chudoverf in Belokamenka, it’s more convenient there and around the place it’s unmeasured for the production of large-capacity sections, it’s right on the other side in direct line of sight.

[Barberry25]

well, I'm not from those places) you know better

[tralflot1832]

I no longer live there either, but I remember the places that the photos are not loaded. In the first photo, you can see the area on the left where PD 50 lies at the bottom.

[Barberry25]

clearly, the main thing is to build) build up competence

[tralflot1832]

For the size of the Novatek dry dock, the second photo. On the left are two insects, the one that is larger than the Umba tanker, three hundred thousand people.

[Sharky]

The dry dock should be divided into two by another "shutter" when there is no aircraft carrier and aircraft carrier in the chamber, for smaller ships.

Not necessary. Usually, repairs are scheduled in such a way that several ships can be driven into a large dry dock at the same time. I saw this in Dubai at Dry Dock World for example.

This is how it looks on the Gulf in Kerch.

And what is there, for the hulls, in the dock, UDC? And what year?

[tralflot1832]

No, this is a long-term construction of cable layers. It seems that they were taken out of the dock, they are being completed afloat. According to the UDC, you can only find photos of iron in covered sheds. When will the quadrocopter be allowed to fly over the plant again?

[VALERIK_097]

I think Belokamenka will still “shoot”, under a harmless plant for the construction of LNG terminals, a powerful shipyard is being completed, with the most modern infrastructure. Every time I pass by, I am amazed at the volume of construction. .

[Nazar]

yuriy55 - If possible, tell us, how are things going with the foundation pit? There was a scandal with the contractor. received an advance and never started work. Have you found another contractor now?

Excuse me, but I live 4000 km from the place. You need to ask around the people around you. Try: tralflot1832 (Andrey S.)

[tralflot1832]

I don’t save materials, unlike Zaurbek, respected in these matters. And in general, I have a suspicion that he is connected with the current contractor. The contractor is new, so things have started. The dock slab is being poured.

[Kaw]

The crew of the batoport - 4 people.

It's funny. The crew of the gate leaf, and even 4 people. Sounds like an elevator crew, or a barrier.

[YOUR]

Well, why in our country all promises remain promises.
In particular, with regard to the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. They promised to put it in dock in 2021. 2022 dock is unknown when it will be ready.

Or maybe it’s better, after all, to build a new aircraft carrier?

I'm in favor too. Let them begin.

[evgen1221]

Half solution, how about DIY on the internet? We take two good tools and fight one bad one. Why not just build a new one? Now, minus two docks for two ships and plus one for the eternal parking of one.

[lvov_aleksey]

they won’t make a question, and then they’ll raise it, they’ll build it, mom don’t worry, it will be on a staple
ps if someone is not in the subject - the sails will be raised, I mean that everything will be fine, there will be 7 feet under the keel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as for the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.

I think Admiral Kuznetsov got stuck there for a long time. They will calve for about 10 years. Don’t wait for him until 2029.

[zxc15682]

I think they will cut Kuzya. Although you can make a museum, coffee, an entertainment center.
