Russia's Okskaya Shipyard has launched a new crab fishing vessel ordered by the Russian Crab Group of Companies.
Kapitan Grishin (Капитан Гришин) belongs to the Project CCa5712LS series of crab fishing vessels, examples of which have been delivered to various Russian owners beginning in late 2022.
The vessel was named in honour of Boris Nikolaevich Grishin, a seasoned crab fisherman and boat skipper who later became a senior executive of a local crab processing company.
The vessel has an LOA of 57.7 metres, a moulded beam of 12.6 metres, a maximum draught of 4.84 metres, a depth of 7.5 metres, a deadweight of approximately 950, a gross tonnage of 1,550, and accommodation for 24 crewmembers.
A 1,620kW main engine will deliver speeds of up to 12.6 knots.
More economical cruising will yield an endurance of 40 days, allowing the crew to maximise catch on each trip to satisfy quotas more efficiently.
The vessel is equipped for trapping and storage of live crab in nine RSW tanks with a total volume of 640 cubic metres to allow the transport of between 110 and 120 tonnes of catch.
Kapitan Grishin was designed in compliance with Russian Maritime Register of Shipping rules.
