On May 22, 2017, the Nizhny Novgorod Teplokhod sent two new raid diving boats, RVK-2129 and RVK-2130 (building numbers 1117 and 1118, respectively), to the home port of Severomorsk, Murmansk Region. The official deadline for their delivery was approved for 2017, but in fact the boats were launched in September 2016, and in November they successfully passed state tests.
On June 8, it is planned to launch two more boats of project 23040 - RVK-1239 and RVK-1261 (building numbers 1119 and 1120, respectively). These boats will also be delivered ahead of the deadline set for 2018.
- Leading the schedule can be explained very simply, - comments the managing director of JSC "Zavod Nizhny Novgorod Teplohod" Sergey Konovalov. - Production capacity OJSC ZNT allow to cope much faster and with more challenging tasks. Just a couple of years ago, we handed over six of these boats at the same time. Therefore, to build two or four in a year is just work at a normal pace for sailors.

“The Russian Navy will receive a series of working diving boats (RVK) of Project 23040 well ahead of schedule,” said Captain 1st Rank Damir Shaikhutdinov, head of the Navy’s Search and Rescue Service. “These boats, designed for search and rescue operations of fleets and flotillas, have already proven themselves in various climatic zones and latitudes - from the south to the Arctic,” he added.
The last 4 boats of the series are in varying degrees of readiness - both at the construction stage and in preparation for state sea trials.
“We expect that by the end of the first quarter of 2018, the Nizhny Novgorod Teplokhod shipyard will hand over to the Russian Navy two boats designed to replenish the search and rescue support forces of the Pacific Fleet. Two more RVC, which are under construction, can become part of the Navy until 2019,” explained Captain 1st Rank Damir Shaikhutdinov.

LARGE HYDROGRAPHIC BOAT OF PROJECT 23040G

23.03.2016
JSC Zavod Nizhegorodsky Teplokhod (the city of Bor, Nizhny Novgorod region) reported that on March 21, 2016 it signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the construction of a large hydrographic boat of project 23040G. The boat is planned to be handed over to the Russian Navy in a year and a half from the date of signing the contract, in total the plant plans to build six boats of this project.
The project 23040G boat was developed in the design bureau of the plant and is further development project 23040 integrated rescue boats being built at the Nizhny Novgorod Teplokhod Plant JSC for the Russian Navy. Let us remind you that the company has already built 16 project 23040 integrated rescue boats for the Ministry of Defense (building numbers 1101 - 1116), delivered in 2013-2015, and in March 2016 received a contract for the construction of six more boats of project 23040 for the Navy with delivery in 2016-2018.

AT Nizhny Novgorod On August 17, 2016, the laying of two new large hydrographic boats (BGK) of project 23040G for the Russian Navy took place at the JSC Nizhny Novgorod Teplokhod enterprise on August 17, 2016. The ceremony was attended by the head of the Department of Navigation and Oceanography of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Captain 1st Rank Sergey Travin.
The transfer of boats to the Russian Navy, after all types of tests, is scheduled for 2017. Another 4 boats, two units per year, will be built in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The main purpose of the boat is to perform high-precision areal survey of the bottom topography to maintain up-to-date navigation charts and service medium-sized floating aids of navigation equipment with a weight of up to 2.0 tons and a length of up to 6.5 meters.
To improve maneuverability, the boat is equipped with a twin-shaft propulsion system with fixed-pitch propellers, a bow thruster and is capable of moving at low speeds of 4-6 knots for an unlimited time.
The boat is equipped with a modern integrated bridge system that provides the navigator with the entire necessary information with bow and stern control panels. By operating the boat from the stern control panel, the navigator can control the work of the deck crew when shooting and placing floating aids to navigation equipment, while simultaneously maneuvering and observing the surface situation using radar and AIS, the data from which are displayed on the monitor against the background of an electronic navigation chart.
For areal shooting of the bottom relief and search for navigational hazards, the boat is equipped with a hydrographic complex, which includes: a multi-beam echo sounder and a single-beam echo sounder, a side-scan sonar, a high-precision position coordinate system and a tide gauge.
The control of the means of surveying the bottom relief is carried out from a hydrographic post located in the wheelhouse

In accordance with the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, the head of the Navigation and Oceanography Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Captain 1st Rank Sergey Travin, checked the progress of the construction of two newest large hydrographic (BGK) project 23040G at the Nizhny Novgorod Shipyard Plant, intended to replenish the composition of ships and ships hydrographic service of the Navy.
"It is planned that these two boats of project 23040G - "George Zima" and "Alexander Evlanov" will be transferred to the Navy in November 2017," Captain 1st Rank Sergei Travin said.
The boats are designed for high-precision areal survey of the bottom relief and survey of navigational hazards at depths of up to 400 meters, as well as survey of the bottom relief with a single-beam echo sounder at depths of up to 2000 meters. With the help of project 23040G boats, the hydrographic service of the Navy will be able to effectively perform the tasks of maintaining all types of floating warning signs (PPZ), the task of setting / filming all types of floating warning signs up to 1.7 tons and up to 6.5 meters long.
With the help of boats of this type personnel, food, spare parts and repair crews can be delivered to the shore navigational equipment of the Navy, navigation and hydrographic support for rescue and search operations, pilotage and leadership of submarines and large-tonnage ships at the base points and on approaches to them can be carried out.
The crew of the boat is 9 people. To accommodate the crew and those seconded on the boat, there are 5 double cabins and one single cabin.

Project 23040 boats, completing a series of 16 hulls, successfully passed sea trials at the end of 2015.

A series of boats of integrated rescue support was built by Nizhny Novgorod Teplohod Plant JSC by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2013-2015. The boats carry out diving support for underwater technical work at a depth of up to 60 m, provide rescue and search operations, are equipped with a diving complex and an underwater remote-controlled vehicle.
A joystick system is used to perform specialized maneuvers during search, inspection and survey work. The boats are also equipped with steering gears with control systems and autopilots. These systems constitute a single complex for the control of the movement and maneuvering of the vessel.
During tests that took place on November 24, 2015 near the port of Novorossiysk, the average deviation of the boat RVK-771 from the positioning point was 0.82 m. 1.5 degrees. The result obtained confirmed the validity of the use of joystick systems on ships of this kind. The joystick system made it possible to significantly expand the tasks performed by the ship, facilitate maneuvering and increase the safety of navigation.
