Two work pilot boats with ice strengthening have been laid at Onezhsky shipbuilding and shiprepairing yard.

FSUE “Rosmorport” expects to use the boats in southern seaports of Russia. The nautical properties of the boats allow them to work in harsh meteorological conditions and perform their functions in open sea with waves up to 3.5 metres high.

The pilot boats are the fifth and the sixth vessels having been laid at the shipyard after resumption of production activities in June 2015.

According to the list of orders for 2015-2016, the shipyard is also to build three scows and two buoy boats.
