The Kolomna cargo ship type is the first series cargo ship type developed in the German Democratic Republic .
history
The Neptun shipyard developed the ship type on the basis of a Soviet project draft. With the ships Thälmann-Pionier and Christo Botev as well as the Andizhan series , the series are collectively referred to as Type 201 . The ship series was produced in 19 units from 1953 to 1958. The construction program for this type of ship was also the last in the GDR with a steam engine drive, but already with completely welded hulls, which were joined together in section construction. The first ship and namesake of the series was the Kolomna, named after a Russian city of the same name and handed over to a Soviet shipping company on February 21, 1953, with hull number 201. The Kolomna remained in service until April 1978 and was then scrapped. Overall, the majority of the 19 units were delivered to the Soviet Union , the two first newbuildings of the young DSR fleet delivered in October and November 1954 , the steamers Rostock and Wismar came from this series. Four new buildings went to China . The last ship in the series was the Kungur , which was delivered on April 30, 1958 . The longest service time of all Kolomna ships was the Daijti , sailing under the Albanian flag , which was only canceled in 1997 after 40 years of sailing in Aliağa , Turkey . The Smela, built in 1954, existed even longer . She was stopped at Gemi Yan Sanayi ve Ticaret AS in Aliaga in 2006, was, however, as since 1992 Hulk launched .
technology
The ship's propulsion system consisted of two coal-fired water - tube boilers with an upper and lower drum, which were equipped with an automated furnace and a coal conveyor system, crushers and elevators for coal and slag, and a vacuum slag elevator. The 1258 kW LES10 double-compound steam engine from the Magdeburg manufacturer VEB Schwermaschinenbau "Karl Liebknecht" and the 544 kW exhaust steam turbine acted directly on a fixed propeller with a speed of up to 90 revolutions per minute. The machine crew alone comprised 18 men, despite the extensive automation.
The four cargo holds with a bulk cargo volume of 5223 m 3 and 4943 m 3 of ball space were sealed with conventional shear sticks , lids and tarpaulins . The loading gear consisted of ten light cargo booms for 5 tons each and one 15 ton and one 35 ton heavy cargo boom .
Thälmann-Pioneer and Christo Botev
As a further development of the Kolomna series , the last two steam-powered new ships in the GDR, Thälmann-Pionier and Christo Botev , were built in 1957 . With basically the same design, three meters more in length but smaller in size, these two ships were given considerably more modern and more spacious superstructures. The propulsion systems of the two ships were equipped with an oil furnace and achieved an output of 2024 kW. With the abolition of the coal bunkers, the cargo holds were somewhat larger with 5938 m 3 bulk cargo volume and 5655 m 3 general cargo space. The handling facilities consisted of eight conventional loading beams without heavy lift gear.
The Thälmann-Pionier was delivered to the DSR on March 15, 1957. After extensive renovation work in 1958, she was mainly used in Mediterranean service until November 12, 1970 and then transferred to the Greek shipping company Symmachia Shipping Cia. Navigation sold in Piraeus , which it operated as Symmachia until it was scrapped in 1979 .
The Christo Botev sailed under the Bulgarian flag from 1957 to 1969 and was then given as a solidarity gift to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam , which continues to operate it under the name Viet Bao . It was not finally deleted from the register until 1992.
More hulls
In addition to the traditional cargo ships, other ships were built based on the Kolomna design. Best known is the research ship Mikhail Lomonosov , built in 1957 . In addition, nine submarine depot ships of the so-called Artek class (Russian name: Project 233K) were built, two of which were passed on to Albania .
