Increasing vessel capacity projects

Projects to increase the carrying capacity of ships are developed using various technical solutions:

•    increasing the length of the vessel with hull reinforcement;
•    increase in draft with increasing freeboard height;
•    increasing the height of cargo hatch coamings, etc.

Projects to increase the carrying capacity were implemented by OAO “ECS” on dry cargo ships of the Sormovsky, Nevsky, Oka types, projects 17310, R168, 21-88, and barges of a number of projects.
