The cargo ship type Povenez was a series of the Neptun shipyard and the second largest series of cargo ships that was built in the GDR .

history

The series was produced from 1963 to 1967 at the Neptun shipyard in Rostock and consisted of 40 units.

The first ship and namesake of the series was the Povenez, which was handed over to its Soviet shipping company on May 18, 1963 (after the Karelian community Powenez at the southern end of the artificial part of the Baltic-White Sea Canal , in a source also reproduced as Povenets ), with the hull number 201. The Povenez was sold in 1992 and renamed Joy Alfa , stayed in service until 1995 and was then scrapped. The 40 units of the Povenez series were completely delivered to the Soviet Union . The last ship in the series was the Kovdor with hull number 244 , which was handed over on October 30, 1967. The majority of the Povenez ships were abandoned after a service period of around 25 to 30 years. However, some of the specimens sailed until after the turn of the millennium and individual ships have not yet been deleted from the registers.

technology

The basic design of the ship type was based on the successful Kolomna and Andizhan series . The superstructures were designed in a similar way to the Andizhan types, but like the machinery, they were shifted back one length of the hold. The 2390 kW 2-stroke diesel engines of the type MAN K67 57/80 were partly supplied by MAN, partly engines of the same type manufactured under license were installed by VEB Maschinenbau Halberstadt. The main engine had a direct reversible effect on a fixed propeller with removable blades.

The ships designed for ice travel were equipped with a semi-icebreaker stem. A higher-strength steel was used due to the open construction and the high demands on use in ice. In contrast to the previous series, the slab corridors of the sectional hulls were partially riveted.

The four holds with tween decks, a hollow ball of 5767 m 3 and a bulk volume of 6248 m 3 were with movable grain bulkheads provided and hoppers. The loading gear consisted of four loading booms for three and five tons as well as a heavy lift boom for 35 tons, which, like the Andizhan series, were attached to two "A" -shaped masts and a conventional front mast.

The superstructures of the ships were air-conditioned.
