history
The series was produced from 1962 until the second half of the 1980s. The main part of the series was from the shipyard Krasnoye Sormovo in Gorky created that built from 1962 to 1967 at least 65 ships of the type. The Finnish shipyard Oy Laivateollisus AB in Turku delivered a second series of a further developed type, comprising at least ten units . With well over 70 units built, the type is one of the most successful designs of its kind. The ships were distributed among the following four shipping companies: Western River Shipping Company in Kaliningrad , the White Sea & Onega River Shipping Company and the North-Western River Shipping Company in St. Petersburg and the Amur River Shipping Company in Nikolajewsk am Amur .
The individual ships differ, depending on the variant, due to minor differences in the size of the ship, the equipment with different engine types and other special features with which they were tailored to the respective application. The naming was simple; all ships were named Baltiyskiy followed by a number.
The ships are mainly used on combined inland and coastal services on short trips. In Northern Europe, the Baltiyskiy were mostly used in the Baltic Sea area, but sometimes also as far as the North Sea ports . The use was restricted by the limitation to trips with lower wind strengths and certain maximum distances to the coast. In the 1970s to 1990s in particular, in some North Sea estuaries, when the weather was bad, this often led to larger fleets of wind boats of this type.
technology
The ships in the series are powered by two 4- stroke diesel engines . Various engine models from the manufacturer VEB Schwermaschinenbau "Karl Liebknecht" were installed in the series. The early ships of the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard were each equipped with two copies of the SKL type 6NVD48A-2U with a total of 971 kW, later copies each received two enhanced SKL engines of the same type with an output of 1280 kW.
The hulls were assembled in sectional construction. The ships have fixed superstructures arranged far aft without a lifting bridge. The ships have three holds with a volume of 3467 m 3 and three hatches . The ships were delivered without loading gear .
