5. Description of the "Volgo-Balt" type motor ship
Volgo-Balt 240
Motor ship of the "Volgo-Balt" type.
Perhaps this is the most massive series of "river-sea" vessels
V different time these ships were built in different places and according to 4 different projects - 791, 2-95, 2-95A and 2-95A / R.
In 1968, the construction of Volgo-Balts began in Czechoslovakia at the SlovenskeLodenice enterprise.
The new project was very different from the 791: hull contours, superstructure, displacement and, finally, instead of SKL, Skoda (2x 515 kW) began to be used as main engines. It is on this ship that we will transport meal from the port of Yug Rusi Rostov -on-don to the port "Ravenna" Italy.
Swimming is allowed in waves of up to 5 points with a wave height of up to 2.5 meters and at a distance from places - shelters up to 50 miles.

The wreck of the Volgo-Balt 214 and the deaths of the sailors again exposed the problems of shipping in the Black Sea, which has long been known to trade unions and sailors as a "sea of shame".
The river-sea vessel Volgo-Balt 214 (Panama flag) sank off the coast of Turkey on January 7, 2019. The dry cargo ship left the Russian port of Azov heading for Samsun. Before reaching Turkey, "Volgo-Balt 214" could not withstand the impact of the wave and broke in half. On board there were 13 people, only seven of them managed to get out of the water. Search and rescue continues.
The vessel was built back in 1978. Its last operator was the infamous Orbital Ship Management from Turkey. By the way, it is Turkish companies that often buy old Soviet ships and operate them to the last in the Black Sea.
According to Equasis, the last inspection of the state port control of the m / v "Volgo-Balt 214" took place on December 23, 2018 in the port of Azov. Then the inspectors had only seven comments, which, apparently, did not interfere with the ship's exit on a fatal voyage.
If you look at crew list“Volgo-Balt 214”, published on the Internet, you can see that two welders worked on the sunken dry cargo ship, which is very unusual for such small vessels. What terrible technical condition was the steamer in that two such workers were required on board? Apparently, the holes had to be patched on the go.
The tragedy of Volgo-Balt 214 is the face of shipping in the Black Sea. No wonder it got the name "sea of shame". The vessels operating here do not meet safety requirements and should be decommissioned a long time ago. Add to this the absence of ITF collective agreements - it turns out that the crews cannot count on normal working conditions, or on any guarantees of wages or compensation.
Six more vessels of the Volgo-Balt type operate under the Panama flag and operated by Orbital Ship Management: Volgo-Balt 217 (built in 1979), Volgo-Balt 235 (1981), Volgo-Balt 213 (1978), Volgo-Balt 220 (1979), Volgo-Balt 226 (1980) and Volgo-Balt 227 (1980).
“On all Volgo-Balts, the flag, companies, classification societies have repeatedly changed, many of them were delayed by port controls, and since 2014, the crews have repeatedly turned to the ITF for help,” says Olga, an inspector of the International Federation of Transport Workers (ITF) in Novorossiysk Ananyina. "Today dry cargo ships operate under the Panama flag and operated by Orbital Ship Management: all ships are old and problematic."
According to the federation's database, all ITF Black Sea inspectors in Turkey, Georgia, Ukraine and Russia took part in helping the sailors working on the Volgo-Balts. “Non-payment of money, scanty salaries (below the rates of the International Labor Organization (ILO), lack of food, water, work clothes and detergents - this is the usual state of affairs on rusty coffins, which annually drown in winter, killing sailors),” says O. Ananyina ...
The Russian Seamen's Trade Union (SUR) strongly recommends that seamen not be employed on these ships. All dry cargo vessels pose a threat to the safety of navigation and the life of seafarers.
Dry-cargo vessels of the "river-sea" class of the "Volgo-Balt" type (project 791, 2-95, 2-95A, 2-95A / R) are designed for the carriage of bulk cargo (coal, ore, grain, crushed stone, etc.) along large inland waterways of Russia with access to the sea.
Vessels of this type have four holds with hatch covers, with a tank and a poop, with double sides and a double bottom, with engine room and a superstructure in the stern.
The main project of these vessels was the project 791 of the early 1960s, on the basis of which the project 2-95 and its variants were developed, which differ in the modified structure of the wheelhouse, which provides all-round visibility, and the reduced camber of the sides in the bow. Ships of project 2-95 have two small chimneys, later ships (project 2-95A, 2-95A / R) have one. As a continuation of the series of project 2-95, a series of ships of the "Amur" type was built.
Motor ships of this type were built in the USSR at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant (Russia, Nizhny Novgorod); Shipbuilding "Krasnye Barrikady" (Russia, Astrakhan), Gorokhovetsky shipyard(Russia, Gorokhovets), as well as abroad - Slovenske Lodenice (Komarno, Slovakia).

Good day to all.
Today is Saturday, which means that everyone has a long-awaited day off. Therefore, I want to talk about one interesting trip that happened to me in the fall of 2011.
My dad works at Volgo-Balt 138. This sea ship, river-sea class. On this moment, due to the fact that the documents for overseas voyages have expired, so the vessel operates on domestic routes in the northwest region.
After Karelia, I went to the ship to make one voyage with my dad. Wasted no time in vain, shot a video and took a bunch of photos
How loading, transportation, unloading is carried out, who is the captain and what to eat with him, and much more. I'll tell you about this.
I'll start with a description of the vessel, so that you at least have a little idea of what the Volgo-Balt is.
The project of the vessel 2-95A, was released in March 1971. The length is 114 m, the width is 13 m and the freeboard is 5.5 m. The maximum cargo draft (underwater depth, below the waterline) is 4 meters. The maximum speed is 10 knots (18 km / h), oh yes, at sea speed is determined not in miles or km / h, but in knots.
Let's start.
In this story, the ship transports rubble from small village in Karelia, called Ropruchei.
All around there are solid rocks and Lake Onega.
The ship approaches the pier, which is equipped with a conveyor. The essence of the conveyor is that trucks carry crushed stone from quarries, everything is poured into a pit, from where stones and sand are transported along a conveyor belt into the hold of the vessel. Everything can be seen in detail in the general video at the end of this post.
Volgo-Balt has four holds, which are closed with four lids, so that nothing else can enter the hold except for the cargo. The covers are moved by a hydraulic mechanism, which is controlled from the GKP (Main Command Deck, in the common people the Cabin)
Below are a few photos of the ship's loading itself. Initially, the aft hold is loaded so that the ship simply does not break down, and gradually fills towards the bow hold. The person on duty monitors the loading. By the way, the watch is usually 4 hours after 8 (three people in the command staff) and 6 hours after 6 hours (two people, respectively). The degree of loading of the vessel is determined by the draft. On each side of the side there are marks that signal the dive of the vessel to a certain depth. Each person, who monitors the loading, clearly knows the mark when the ship is in "Ballast" and when it is loaded.
Every half hour, the marks of the ship's load are removed. Everything is documented and entered in the logbook in order to avoid disagreements during inspections.
After a certain load, the surveyor comes. This is an inspector who is responsible for controlling the loading of the vessel and for the cargo itself on the part of the customer for transportation. He checks and prepares documents for the cargo, counts how many tons fell into the hold of this or that ship and, based on these data, releases the ship on a voyage, or solves the problem of underload or overload.
In our case, everything went perfectly. The loading was completed at 21:00. It was getting dark and the weather began to deteriorate. The wind blew the waves, according to the forecast, the wave height reached up to 3 meters in some areas of Lake Onega. My dad's watch has just begun.
The mooring lines were given, and in full reverse against the wind, the ship was leaving the wreck. Then it turned around and went on a certain course. It was dark and cold, so there weren't many night photos. I filmed more videos.
Further, the route was as follows. Several hours on Lake Onega, a request to the dispatcher of the village. Ascension, which gives the go-ahead for the descent along the Svir River. The watch ended and I went to bed.
It was dawn at five o'clock. I woke up and went to the control room to shoot a video. The vessel was moving at full speed along the Svir River to the city of Podporozhye, to the Black Coast pier.
Then the ship moors to a crane with a 5 ton grab (bucket). And so, little by little, little by little, unloading to the shore takes place. From there, crushed stone is taken by dump trucks to construction sites, roads and other needs.
Then a new order for transportation comes, the ship is cleaned and goes under loading to the designated port. It's simple
Watch the video and if you like it, put your thumbs up!
Several technical photos of the ship.
Photo from the Rubka, from where there is complete control of maneuvers, engines, everything, everything to everyone
Two main motors that drive the propellers, which in turn propel the ship
P.S
You probably think that all waste products are thrown overboard? Well, I do not. Everything is strict with this, environmental services monitor all this, control every waste discharge.
To ensure that the team does not pollute the nature, there are storage tankers and processors. A small ship approaches the ship, where everything merges. Sometimes, even on the go, this process takes place.
Thank you all for reading me, commenting on and telling your friends.
