The fiberglass hull of the second minesweeper will be manufactured in the spring of 2015 of the year.
Monolithic fiberglass hull of the second in a row and the first serial (project 12700) minesweeper for the Russian Navy will be made in March 2015, and in the second quarter they will start manufacturing the next hull, handing TASS With reference to the general director of the Sredne-Nevsky Shipbuilding Plant Vladimir Seredokho.
The shipyard received an order from the military department for the construction by the method of vacuum diffusion of three serial minesweepers under the project of TsMKB Almaz. In June, the lead ship, Alexander Obukhov, was launched. He will be transferred the fleet at the end of 2015
"We have already received the first advance payment under the contract for the construction of three serial minesweepers and began the purchase of the necessary equipment- told Seredoho. - We also started work on the manufacture of the hull of the first ship - we prepared a shell-matrix and put the fabric in it.
He explained that “the rigid matrix completely repeats the outer casing of the future minesweeper”. “After placing the fabric in the matrix, it is pressed against the shell with a special polyethylene cover and evacuated. Then this fabric is impregnated with heated resin, which, according to the principle of a syringe, is fed under pressure into the matrix through thousands of tubes. ”- told Seredoho about the technology, which was first used in Russia.
While the factory uses imported components. “But we initially raised the issue of import substitution. And therefore, already on the first production ship of the 12700 project, we will only use fabrics from Russia, produced by HC “Composite” (included in Rosnano), ”said the general director. “We will introduce domestic pitch next year,” he promised.
Starting next year, the plant will be able to manufacture 2 cases annually, for which a second matrix is created. “We will commission it in the second quarter of next year. In general, our task is to reach three ships a year. ”- explained the head.
“We can now manufacture any enclosures, large and small, as well as composite panels for superstructures using vacuum infusion, which can be assembled into any form by sintering”- said Seredoho. In particular, the plant produces add-ons for the corvettes of the 20380 project (starting with the 5 ship) and the upgraded 20385 project.
In the new year, the shipyard expects the Ministry of Defense to order an 4 minesweeper.
TASS help on the 12700 project: “The displacement of the minesweeper of the 12700 project reaches 890 tons, it is able to reach speeds up to 16,5 nodes (at full displacement). The crew of the ship is 44 man. To combat mines, it can use different types of trawls, remote-controlled and autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles. ”
