EXCLUSIVE: The second CSD delivered to Rosmorport, one to go

FSUE Rosmorport took delivery of a new non-self-propelled cutter suction dredger (CSD) last week.

According to Rosmorport, the CSD Nikolay Grichanovsky belongs to the Project FPDG3 series of three CSDs. The Nikolay Rusanov, the first dredger in the series, was handed over to Rosmoport in 2024.

This new CSD, built by Stroyliderplus for the Astrakhan branch of FSUE Rosmorport, has a steel hull, an LOA of 55m, a beam of 12.5m, a maximum draught of only 2.1m, and a maximum dredging depth of 15m.

Rosmorport said that the dredging equipment consists of a pump with a dedicated 1,820kW motor, a 500kW cutter, and suction and discharge pipes each with a diameter of 800mm.

Stroyliderplus will deliver the third vessel in the series, named Petr Vedernikov, to FSUE in 2026.
