In the Caspian Sea, on May 27, 2017, a 350-seat passenger ship of mixed river-sea navigation of the RRR O-PR2.0 class (ice30) A of the PV18 project "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" of the Moscow River Shipping Company began work as a navigator. This was reported by the press service of the Marine Engineering Bureau.
"Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" was previously modernized from a project 302 vessel according to the project of the Marine Engineering Bureau. The vessel is intended for use as a floating vessel for workers of the oil and gas condensate field named after V.I. V. Filanovsky.
The field is located in the Russian sector of the northern part of the Caspian Sea, in the shallow part 170 km south of the city of Astrakhan, 20 km east of the island. Maly Zhemchuzhny in the area permitted for the operation of ships of the "O-PR" class in the season from April to November inclusive.
For operation in the role of a floating vessel serving drilling platforms, in 2014 the ship was installed: in the stern on boat deck a cargo manipulator with a lifting capacity of 3.15 tons with a maximum boom outreach of 16.54 m and a cargo area; on the awning deck of the overalls storage and service room; refrigerated containers to increase the autonomy of provisions; two office premises with a capacity of 40 people. each; desalination equipment with a total capacity of 150 cu. m / day.
175 cabins are used to accommodate 350 passengers.
For the rest of passengers, there is a dining room for 200 seats, a gym for seven seats, two lounges with an Internet zone and TVs for 39 and 27 seats, respectively.
There are also two offices for 40 and 36 people.
When converting between main and upper deck for 92 and 176 shp. watertight bulkheads were installed. All windows located on the main deck were covered with external steel shutters. Vestibules of passenger ramps were fenced off in the area of 86-90 shp. and 166-170 shp.
One rowing lifeboat with a capacity of 20 people. with a davit and one motorized lifeboat with a capacity of 16 people with a davit were placed in the aft part of the boat deck. In the bow of the awning deck, 22 PSN-20 dumped life rafts were installed in containers with a capacity of 20 people. each.
The vessel is a three-screw motor ship with an overall length of 129.15 m, a width of 16.70 m, with a four-tiered superstructure along the entire length of the vessel, with aft position engine room, and a navigating bridge in the bow, with a double bottom, with an inclined stem and cruising aft end.
Three 736 kW diesel engines are used as main engines. Speed 13.8 knots. The movement and control of the vessel is provided by three fixed pitch propellers with a diameter of 1800 mm and five rudders. For the passage of narrows and mooring to the berth, a bow thruster is installed on the ship.
The power plant consists of four diesel generators of 600 kW each and an emergency diesel generator with a capacity of 95 kW.
The crew and attendants of 98 people are accommodated in one, two and three-berth cabins on the lower deck (in the ship's hull) and on the awning deck.
The vessel meets high standards environmental safety... The vessel is provided with a closed system of waste and domestic water. All sewage and domestic water is discharged into collection tanks, and there is also a sewage treatment plant on the ship.
At the end of navigation in 2009, the first motor ship "Yuri Andropov" (operator "Vodokhod") went to the Kurmangazy gas field in the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan to work as a dormitory, the long-suffering "Kazan", which by that time had already visited "London Night" and which received a new name after the deposit - "Kurmangazy". In the spring of 2010, a motor ship of the Moscow Shipping Company was sent to the Caspian Sea, and in the fall of the same 2010, the Ukrainian TG Shevchenko (the latest of Project 302 in the post-Soviet space). Finally, in 2011, she left for the Caspian Sea. This is from the list of motor ships well known to us. A lot of service and support fleets and cruise ships from Europe were also involved. All vessels have undergone special training and re-equipment for work at sea.
The development of the field is not a quick process; drilling of two wells yielded no oil results. According to various information, hydrogen sulfide was released instead and the dormitory was transferred to the nearest port of Bautino. The main work at the field was suspended until 2014. And at this very time the ships were working out their contracts. By the end of summer 2013, work in Kazakhstan for the motor ships "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" and "Yuri Andropov" was completed. In early August, the pretty shabby motor ships returned to the Volga in Astrakhan, where the last paper approvals and registrations are now underway. The cruise community is hotly discussing their prospects.
Motor ship "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky"- the youngest of the Moscow motor ships, was built in Germany in 1990. In 2007, I had a chance to visit it on a cruise - quite a decent and worthy ship. He worked in Kazakhstan for 3 years from 2010 to 2013. After the ship left for the Caspian Sea, officials of the Moscow Shipping Company and Mosturflot voiced ideas that after the contract was completed, Krzhizhanovsky would be sent for re-equipment either to one of the Russian shipyards or even to Finland, from where it would return with real candy in the image and likeness of its "stoned" brethren. In fact, everything turned out to be more prosaic: even before the return, announcements appeared that the ship was being rented out as a floating hotel for work at sea. And now, after the paperwork has been settled, the equipment installed for work at the field will be dismantled, Krzhizhanovsky will be sent to New-Vasyuki, the newly built and freshly painted Olympic garden city of Sochi, where it will be used for its usual purpose - in as a floating hotel.

Motor ship "Yuri Andropov"... In today's harsh reality, its prospects are also not so obvious. There is a certain decline in foreign tourists, and those who come require ships of a class higher than the 302 in their standard configuration. Apparently, for this reason, the Vikings are rebuilding their fleet, and for the needs of Scenic Tours and Amawaterways, Alexander Green and Mstislav Rostropovich were so globally reconstructed. "Andropov" now requires serious investments, and, given that "Vodokhod" leaves its running four-decks in the backwater for the next year, it is highly likely that "Andropov" will remain with them. Although, if it turns out differently, it will be very good.

And also "Kazan" (aka "London Night", aka "Kurmangazy"). I really want to believe that this undervalued motor ship in Russia will do well too.
Yet sometimes they return, while in this capacity, but still.

The last of the Moscow trio "
It is no secret that the first motor ship 302 of the project came to Kama in 1983, then the 302 was received by Leningrad and Gorky, and Moscow was left without the latest motor ships. Of course, MCI was a sin to complain, in the mid-eighties, motor ships 065 of the project came to Moscow from Austria, they were not inferior in comfort, and maybe even surpassed the 302s, but I think that at that time it was a matter of prestige to have the latest river liners in the shipping company ... Moscow is the capital. And so in 1989 and 1990, the newest motor ships of the project 302 and 302M came to Moscow one by one. "Leonid Krasin" "Nikolay Bauman" and "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky". As soon as the ships "got into operation" I decided that at all costs I would make river cruises on each of these ships. For myself, I called them "The Big Moscow Trio".
In the early nineties, he made several cruises on the motor ships "Leonid Krasin" and "Nikolay Bauman", but the opportunity to make river travel the last ship from the "Moscow trio" had to wait 15 long years. First default, then graduate school, but the most difficult thing is that in those years there were absolutely no offers to sell vouchers for this ship. In 2006, the motor ship "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" made several cruises from Russian tourists, and at the beginning of 2007, the navigation schedule included offers for cruises throughout the summer. This opportunity should not be missed, because I have been waiting for this cruise for many years.
My friends bought vouchers for the opening of navigation and persuaded me to go together, especially since we had been planning to make a joint trip for a long time. It so happened that I did not have the opportunity to make the journey from beginning to end, but to miss it means not to fulfill my dream. After long deliberation, I managed to emerge victorious with the solution of pleasant problems, and so I set off for SRV to get acquainted with the last motor ship from the “big Moscow trio”.
Arrived four hours before the start of the cruise, the ship has not yet arrived at the pier, nothing for a walk yet. The May weather did not contribute to the walk, so I had to take refuge in the Volga-Volga restaurant. By the way, the restaurant should arouse interest among fans. river cruises, the interior is decorated very nicely and in a river theme. Distracted. The motor ship "Gleb Krizhanovskiy" moored to the second berth exactly according to the schedule and the landing of tourists began. On the pier in front of the ship, a military brass band performed, performing marches. It's a trifle but nice, when you come aboard and the march from the movie "Cruel Romance" thunders next to you, you immediately imagine yourself as Vasily Vozhevatov. Placed in a single cabin on the boat deck and dismantled things went to study the ship. I confess that first of all I was interested in the sun deck, I really wanted to find the differences between the 302M and 302MK projects, I did.
I thought, here is a sophisticated river tourist, for the first time on this ship, he will certainly find something to complain about, of course the "fight" will be dishonest, I enter into battle with the luggage of my cruises on different ships, and the ship "Gleb Krizhizhanovsky" is one against all of us. To be honest, I explored all the passenger rooms of the ship, but I lost. The ship gets the first score 0: 1 for cleanliness and order, moreover, not in my favor. We need to compare the score. I go to the bar, ask my king question about the range of non-alcoholic cocktails. I get my first cocktail, orange juice with grenadine. Okay, I have a drink and with a snide expression on my face I say let's try the next one, which the bartender cut off, and the others do not. Immediately I get one point. 1: 1. The bar was not even saved by the fact that you can buy quite tasty sandwiches at night. The score was leveled, it is necessary to go forward "to the unconditional surrender of the enemy." I think what to look at in order to come forward - yeah, there are travel information stands, no, I could not come forward, everything is designed so that the hedgehog understands everything where, when and what. The navigation information on the ship's radio is also flawless, because on this voyage, the cruise director was Mr. Kondratyev. There were no vacant cabins, but the director organized everything in such a way that the crowd was not felt either at registration or at other events. With the help of the cruise director, the ship gets another point. The total score is 1: 2. And the food was not satisfactory 1: 3, and the animation was 1: 4. It was late evening, a jazz band was playing in the bow bar, a disco was taking place in the aft bar, good old women, experienced river travelers "grappled with tongues" in the reading room, an interesting and, most importantly, a new film was going on in the cinema hall for movie lovers. On the ship, everyone found a place of interest. 1: 5. I was completely upset, but I was able to win one point. At three o'clock in the morning, when I assembled the tripod and went to the cabin, I noticed that one of the crew members was happily drinking in the company of tourists in a disco bar, this is not welcome. 2: 5. I was delighted, but this point was the last. I could no longer compete with a modern, comfortable motor ship, because in the morning the score became quite devastating 2: 6 for accuracy in adherence to the schedule, 2: 7 for the friendliness and hospitality of the entire crew from the captain to the last sailor. I had to admit complete defeat. I made many cruises, saw many different ships, but "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" can claim the highest places on my cruise list.
In the battle with the river liner, I did not notice how the motor ship moored at the Sosenki pier, my short journey ended, it's time to get ready. Leaving the ship I caught myself thinking that I would not wait for the next decade, but in the near future I would again choose a cruise on this particular motor ship. To summarize, I can say that both Leonid Krasin and Nikolai Bauman, and now Gleb Krzhizhanovsky it is not for nothing that they proudly bear the name “Big Moscow Trio”.
P.S. An hour later, sitting on my porch and drinking tea, I saw the motor ship "Gleb Krzhizhanovsky" pass me by, blew out the smoke from the chimney at parting, which took the form of a score of my defeat 2: 7, the ship they say reminded me, "I found someone to compete with." ...
