The paper considers the main issues of strategic development of waterborne transport as an integral part of the transport system of Russia’s Far Eastern region. The importance of solving the issues of creating the infrastructure of a single transport space is emphasized, as it ensures affordable and safe transport links between the territories both domestrically and internationally.

Keywords: waterborne transport, Far East.

The paper presents an analysis of the operation of Russia’s river shipbuilding industry in the 21st century. Positive influence of the Law on Support of Shipping and Shipbuilding on the shipbuilding industry is noted. Primary recommendations for the most promising directions of development of water transport fleet are formulated: super full vessels, tug-barge combined vessels, combined vessels. Special attention is paid to shipyards and requirements of Siberia, the Far East and the Far North.

Keywords: shipbuilding, Law on Support of Shipping and Shipbuilding, Siberia, Russian Far East, shallow water, super full vessels, tug-barge combined vessels, combined vessels.

The paper looks at possibilities of centralised planning for foming and functioning of port infrastructure to process consolidated cargo flow and to manage these processes when organising a shared-use transport system, which operates to benefit corporate interests of Russia’s federal authorities and other economic entities. This approach can be used to fulfill development plans for the territories in Russia’s Arctic region.

Keywords: shared-use transport system, Russia’s Arctic region, competitive interaction of ports.

A priority direction in Russia’s transport development is designing efficient and safe conveying systems for hydrocarbon transportation from the Polar and Far East regions. New technologies of large-size ships passing in ice conditions is a key question of securing safe system operation and efficiency. Results of Krylov State Research Centre specialists’ work on development of new large-size ships’ passing approaches and assessment of double-acting ships facilities’ in ice conditions are presented in this paper.

Keywords: icebreaker, wide channel in ice, large-size carriers, ice resistance, ice model tests.

The paper presents an analysis of basic factors that influence the efficiency of maritime transport and technological systems in exploration of coastal and offshore deposit fields. A new approach to study and design of maritime transport and technological systems and optimisation of their contents is described, wherein vessels are presented as independent objects that move and interact in geo-information environment guided by logical units of a dynamic simulation model.

Keywords: maritime transport and technology system, dynamic simulation model.

A methodology of precision assessment of neural network-based vessel’s dead reckoning system is proposed in the paper. This methodology takes into account errors of a vessel’s movement model identification as well as errors of measurements in system operation. An example of realisation of a neural network dead reckoning system with trajectory accuracy assessment for a large-tonnage vessel is provided.

Keywords: neural network, dead reckoning, accuracy assessment.

The paper provides an overview of main types of transport vessels and the most interesting international designs, and looks at a number of new technical and technological solutions. Main development trends of Russia’s and worldwide market for transport vessels are presented. Russian customers’ long-range requirements for vessels and marine engineering objects are estimated. The three mid-term target directions for development of shipbuilding are denoted as enivronmental safety of civil marine engineering objects, human life safety, and economic efficiency. The article is based on the 2015 issues of the “International Shipbuilding” quarterly digest (Nos. 18–21).

The paper presents a technology of air supply to auxiliary diesels in the electrical power system of modern automated ships which is based on using combination actuator of the turbo-supercharger. The technology ensures proper operation of working processes of auxiliary diesels under different conditions, including random engine-load fluctuations, parametric variations of outer air and water, changes in the fuel and lubricant types.

Keywords: turbo-supercharger, diesel generator, air supply.

The paper presents at automatic system for control of a vessel’s actual floating stability which was successfully tested in-situ. Using the new system may minimise the risk of vessel capsizing and crew dying due to insufficient control of the actual floating stability while in operation, including during cargo receipt.

Keywords: vessel floating stability control.
