Pizhma goes to the dock

The dry cargo ship Pizhma, which is part of the Oboronlogistics fleet, has been removed from the St. Petersburg – Kaliningrad container line and is being sent to the dock for a scheduled intermediate examination.

In the dock of the m/v Pizhma will be carried out maintenance of all mechanisms of the vessel, main engines, propeller-rudder complex, cargo cranes, metal structures, hull and ballast water treatment system.

The dry cargo ship Pizhma is designed to transport all types of cargo, including dangerous ones. The vessel has a deck for containers and general cargo, two holds, one of which is equipped for the transportation of spent nuclear fuel.

According to the existing license of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision, Pizhma is allowed to transport equipment containing radionuclides necessary for medical purposes, offshore development, geological exploration and use in other areas of life.

Two ship cranes (with a lifting capacity of 35 tons each) allow Pizhma to quickly carry out loading and unloading operations both in the port and on an unequipped shore or open roadstead. At maximum load, the vessel carries up to 3,400 tons of cargo and reaches speeds of up to 10 knots.
