Rescue tugboat Professor Nikolai Muru. Hover over the abyss: the Russian Black Sea Fleet received a new unique vessel

The rescue tugboat "Professor Nikolai Muru" of project 22870 is the second vessel built at the Astrakhan branch of the Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center. This vessel was built for the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The lead vessel is , which was introduced into the Caspian Flotilla on August 6, 2014.

Project 22870 was developed by OJSC KB Vympel.

The main purpose of the vessel is to tow and refloat ships and vessels, extinguish fires both on damaged ships and onshore structures, evacuate people from them and provide medical assistance to victims, supply electricity and keep ships afloat, perform diving work at depths up to 60 meters, as well as collecting oil products from the surface of the sea, performing search and survey work.

Main characteristics of the vessel of project 22870: Displacement 1200 tons. The maximum length is 57 meters, width 14 meters, side height 5.4 meters, draft 3.2 meters. Speed ​​14 knots. Mooring pull 500 kN. Autonomy 20 days. Crew 26 people. During rescue operations it can take 60 people on board.

A special feature of the SBS “Professor Nikolai Muru” is the presence of a dynamic positioning system, which ensures that the vessel is kept at a designated point in the sea without the use of anchors. This makes it possible to more accurately survey an object at depth using underwater vehicles from on board a vessel, which is especially important during rescue and ship-lifting operations.

The rescue tugboat "Professor Nikolai Muru", serial number 6, was laid down under the name "SB-565". Launched on May 20, 2014. According to a message dated December 23, 2014, which take place in the Caspian Sea.

According to a message dated January 23, 2015, a vessel successfully entered the Caspian Sea. Currently, the team is in the Black Sea - at a permanent deployment point in the city of Novorossiysk, which is scheduled for June-July 2015. June 10 at the Novorossiysk naval base of the St. Andrew's flag and admission to the Russian Navy.

The ship is named after the outstanding Russian shipbuilder Nikolai Muru.

For reference: Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, retired captain 1st rank Nikolai Petrovich Muru (1921 - 2004) - the country's leading scientist in the field of ship lifting, underwater and surface unsinkability of ships and vessels.

Nikolai Petrovich was born in Orel into a working-class family. In 1939 he graduated with a “gold” certificate high school, and in 1944, the first to graduate, with inclusion on the marble plaque of honor, was the shipbuilding department of the Higher Naval Engineering School named after. F.E. Dzerzhinsky.

In 1942, he participated in the completion and testing of submarines of the XII series in the city of Molotovsk (now Severodvinsk), and in 1943 - in the emergency repair of warships of the Black Sea Fleet in the city of Poti. For the successful repair of the Kharkov leader damaged by an air bomb and mastering the method of repairing the rudder group without docking by installing a caisson, he was awarded a certificate of honor from the People's Commissar of the Navy N.G. Kuznetsova. In 1950, Muru came to the school from which he graduated for scientific and teaching work. He brilliantly taught courses on the statics of submarines and surface ships, and was an example of scientific competence and exactingness. In 1956–1957 Nikolai Petrovich worked as the chief engineer of the expedition special purpose(EON-35) on the recovery of the battleship "Novorossiysk", which sank in the roadstead of Sevastopol. Several decades N.P. Muru was a member of the NTO bureau. A.N. Krylov, the Presidium of the Scientific and Technical Council of the USSR Maritime Register, three specialized councils for awarding academic degrees. He was awarded four orders and 17 medals. He is the author of about 200 scientific papers. Among the works are such monographs and textbooks as “Ensuring the unsinkability of a ship”, “Statics of a ship”, “Applied problems of ship statics”, “Theory of a submarine”, “Unsinkability of a surface ship”, “Statics of ship lifting”, “Fundamentals of unsinkability of a ship”, “ Unforgettable years", "Disaster on the internal roadstead". Many of those who studied at naval universities know these works.

According to a report dated October 29, 2015, two unique manned autonomous underwater search and rescue vehicles "ARS-600" were successfully carried on board.

The autonomous search and rescue underwater vehicle "ARS-600" is designed to perform the following tasks: search (additional search) for an emergency underwater object lying on the ground; visual and television inspection of an emergency underwater object (submarine); lifting (delivery) of loads over 80 kg from the ground; sharpening (inserting and securing slings) of sunken (emergency) objects and bringing the cable to the surface for lifting them by surface means; clearing the coaming area of ​​an emergency submarine lying on the ground to ensure landing of rescue vehicles on it; ensuring independent exit of submariners from an emergency submarine; transferring life support equipment for personnel to the compartments of an emergency submarine lying on the ground, including connecting high-pressure air supply hoses and compartment ventilation; ensuring guidance and docking of rescue vehicles with the coaming platform of an emergency submarine lying on the ground.

According to a message dated March 9, 2016, the crew of the newest rescue tugboat on its first long voyage in the Mediterranean Sea. According to a report dated December 27, a search operation was conducted in the area of ​​the TU-154 plane crash near the city of Sochi.

According to the message dated July 05, 2019 Black Sea straits Bosphorus and Dardanelles and entered the Mediterranean Sea. The tug is heading to Persian Gulf to provide support for the Russian Navy team taking part in the international all-around diving competition “Depth-2019”, which will be held in early August on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to a report dated July 10, the Suez Canal entered the Red Sea.

On June 10, the Novorossiysk Naval Base will host a solemn ceremony of raising the St. Andrew’s flag and accepting into the Russian Navy the Project 22870 rescue tugboat (SBS), unique in its versatility, “Professor Nikolai Muru”.

SBS was built at the Astrakhan branch of the Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center and named after the outstanding Russian shipbuilder Nikolai Muru. The design of the vessel was developed by the Vympel design bureau in accordance with the technical requirements of the Russian Navy High Command.

The main purpose of the rescue tugboat "Professor Nikolai Muru" is towing and refloating of ships and vessels, fighting fires on damaged ships, vessels and coastal fleet infrastructure facilities. Equipping the vessel with special equipment allows it to evacuate crews of emergency ships at sea and provide comprehensive emergency services. medical care to the victims. The power equipment of the vessel “Professor Nikolai Muru” allows it to organize the supply of electricity to a de-energized emergency vessel or ship.

SBS "Professor Nikolai Muru" has the capabilities to keep emergency ships afloat and perform complex diving work at depths of up to 60 meters. In addition, the vessel can perform tasks of collecting oil products from the surface of the sea, as well as conduct search and survey work.

A special feature of the SBS “Professor Nikolai Muru” is the presence of a dynamic positioning system, which ensures that the vessel is kept at a designated point in the sea without the use of anchors. This makes it possible to more accurately survey an object at depth using underwater vehicles from on board a vessel, which is especially important during rescue and ship-lifting operations.

Main characteristics of the rescue tugboat “Professor Nikolai Muru” of project 22870: displacement 1200 tons; maximum length 57 meters; width 14 meters; side height 5.4 meters; draft 3.2 meters; speed 14 knots; mooring thrust 500 kN.

The vessel can sail autonomously for 20 days, with a crew of about 30 people. During search and rescue operations, it can take on board over 60 people.

The lead vessel of this project is the SB-45, which was commissioned into the Caspian Flotilla on August 6, 2014.

SBS "Professor Nikolai Muru" will perform tasks as part of the Black Sea Fleet. It is planned to build two more such vessels in the near term.
