A a l b o r g Delivers Multipurpose Reefer To Soviet's Sudoimport

Aalborg Vaerft in Denmark recently delivered the advanced refrigerated cargo ship Skulptor Tomskij to V/O Sudoimport.

Named for a famous Soviet sculptor, the 10,700 cubic meter vessel is the second of three ordered in 1984.

The first was completed in November 1985 and the third is scheduled for delivery in May this year.

Built to USSR Registration of Shipping classification, the Tomskij is designed as a multipurpose reefer capable of transporting fruit as well as frozen meat. The ship has large open type cargo hatches that, with the necessary reinforcement of tank tops and decks, provide the capability of carrying both 40-foot and 20- foot containers in the cargo holds as well as on the weather deck.

The new reefer has an overall length of 453.4 feet, beam of 70.5 feet, depth of 43 feet, and draft (bananas) of 23 feet. Propulsion machinery consists of a low-speed Briansk/B&W two-stroke, direct reversible, crosshead marine diesel, type 6DKRN 67/170. The engine is fitted with constant-pressure turbocharging by a BBC system. Main engine output is 12,874 bhp at 123 rpm. It drives, via intermediate and propeller shafting, a 4-bladed nickel/ aluminum/bronze propeller with fixed blades.

The electric supply is provided by four diesel generator plants, each consisting of a 720-kw generator direct-coupled to a B&W Holeby four-stroke 6T 23 LH-4 with an output of 1,033 bhp at 750 rpm. Both the main and auxiliary engines are designed for burning heavy fuel with a viscosity of 380 cSt at 50 C.
