Project 23130 replenishment oiler

Project 23130 is a series of medium-size replenishment oilers developed by the Spetssudoproect JSC and built by Nevsky Shipyard for the Russian Navy.[2][3] Initially, it was to be limited only by one vessel, Academic Pashin itself, however in January 2020, a decision was made to built five more vessels of the class.[1][4] in parallel with Project 23130, larger Project 23131 oilers are being constructed by Zaliv shipyard in Crimea.

Design

Academic Pashin is a medium-sized sea tanker with a strengthened steel double-hull of the Arc 4 class, for operations in the Arctic conditions. It can operate in temperatures from +45 ºС in summer to -30 ºС in winter.[2] The ship is approximately 130 m (430 ft) long, 22 m (72 ft) wide and has a maximum draught of 7 m (23 ft).[3] The service life of the ship's hull and pipelines is estimated at 40 years.[5] When fully loaded, it could displace about 14,000 tons while carrying about 7,350 tons of various liquids in its onboard storage tanks as well as some dry cargoes. It could transport for example 3,000 tons of fuel oil, 2,500 tons of diesel fuel, 500 tons of jet fuel, 150 tons of lubricating oil, 1,000 tons of fresh water or additionally 100 tons of dry cargo such as food and spare parts to a distance of 8,000 mi (13,000 km) at a top speed of 16 kn (30 km/h; 18 mph). The total deadweight of the ship is 9,000 tons at maximal draught.[3]
