The project was presented during the meeting regarding refitting of passenger fleet in Sakha (Yakutia) held by Lena Semenova, the first Deputy Minister of Transport and Road facilities, with representatives of Marine Technics (MT-Group), OOO “Lenaturflot”, ministries and authorities of the Republic.

Specialists of Marine Technics showed the design of cargo and passenger motor vessel “Koch-2100” pr. PS75MT to the participants of the meeting. The project had been developed by the Design Bureau of the company on the basis of technical task by OOO ‘Lenaturflot” for replacement of m/v “Mekhanik Kulibin” (Baikal type, project 646) built in 1955 and running on the passenger line Yakutsk-Neelovo (Tiksi).

• Autonomy: 15 days;
• Maximum speed: 25 km/h;
• Cruising range: 4,000 km.

The unique feature of the craft is its small draught (only 1.6 m) that allows to moor to the non-equipped bank in order to unload cargo and passengers. The bow part is fitted with a 8-meters’ gangway and a telescope crane for machine and motor boat unloading.
