LARGE HYDROGRAPHIC BOAT OF PROJECT 23040G

23.03.2016
JSC Nizhegorodsky Teplokhod Plant (Bor city, Nizhny Novgorod region) reported that on March 21, 2016 it signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the construction of a large hydrographic boat of Project 23040G. The boat is planned to be handed over to the Russian Navy in a year and a half from the date of signing the contract; in total, the plant plans to build six boats of this project.
The boat of Project 23040G was developed in the design bureau of the plant and is a further development of the Project 23040 integrated rescue support boats being built at the Nizhny Novgorod Motor Ship Plant OJSC for the Russian Navy. Let us recall that the company has already built 16 complex rescue support boats of the project for the Ministry of Defense 23040 (building numbers 1101 - 1116), commissioned in 2013-2015, and in March 2016 received a contract for the construction of six more boats of Project 23040 for the Navy with delivery in 2016-2018.

In Nizhny Novgorod, at the Nizhny Novgorod Motor Ship JSC enterprise, on August 17, 2016, the laying down of two new large hydrographic boats (BGK) of Project 23040G for the Russian Navy took place. The ceremony was attended by the head of the Navigation and Oceanography Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Captain 1st Rank Sergei Travin.
The transfer of the boats to the Russian Navy, after all types of tests, is planned in 2017. Another 4 boats, two units per year, will be built in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The main purpose of the boat is to carry out high-precision areal surveys of the bottom topography to maintain up-to-date navigational charts and to service medium-sized floating navigation equipment with weights of up to 2.0 tons and a length of up to 6.5 meters.
To increase maneuverability, the boat is equipped with a two-shaft propulsion system with fixed-pitch propellers, a bow thruster and is capable of moving at low speeds of 4-6 knots for an unlimited time.
The boat is equipped with a modern integrated bridge system, providing the navigator with all the necessary information from the bow and stern control panels. By controlling the boat from the stern control panel, the navigator can control the work of the deck crew when filming and setting up floating aids to navigation equipment, while simultaneously maneuvering and monitoring the surface situation using radar and AIS, data from which is displayed on the monitor against the background of an electronic navigation map.
For area survey of the bottom topography and search for navigational hazards, the boat is equipped with a hydrographic complex, which includes: a multi-beam echo sounder and a single-beam echo sounder, a side-scan sonar, a system for high-precision determination of location coordinates and a tide gauge.

In accordance with the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, the head of the Navigation and Oceanography Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Captain 1st Rank Sergei Travin, checked the progress of the construction of two new large hydrographic (BGK) project 23040G at the Nizhny Novgorod Motor Ship Plant, intended to replenish the composition of ships and vessels Hydrographic Service of the Navy.
“It is planned that these two boats of Project 23040G - Georgiy Zima and Alexander Evlanov - will be transferred to the Navy in November 2017,” said Captain 1st Rank Sergei Travin.
The boats are designed for high-precision area surveys of the bottom topography and survey of navigational hazards at depths of up to 400 meters, as well as survey of the bottom topography with a single-beam echo sounder at depths of up to 2000 meters. With the help of Project 23040G boats, the Navy's hydrographic service will be able to effectively carry out the tasks of servicing all types of floating warning signs (FPP), the task of setting/shooting all types of floating warning signs up to 1.7 tons and up to 6.5 meters in length.
With the help of boats of this type, personnel, food, spare parts and repair crews can be delivered to coastal navigation equipment of the Navy, navigation and hydrographic support for rescue and search operations, pilotage and leading of submarines and large ships at bases and on approaches to him.
The boat's crew is 9 people. To accommodate the crew and those seconded on the boat, there are 5 double cabins and one single cabin.
