en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Russian Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport (Rosmorrechflot) officially received the Project 3050.1A navigation aid vessel "Leonid Komarov" (Леонид Комаров) in mid-June 2026. The acceptance committee has signed the vessel's acceptance certificate, and it will soon join the fleet of the Rosmorrechflot Kama Basin Administration (Administration of the Kama Basin). The vessel was built by the Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant (KMZ) in St. Petersburg, with the order placed by the federal state institution "Rechvodput" (Main Directorate for Waterway Management). The vessel is part of the "Inland Waterways" federal project within the framework of Russia's national program "Development of the Transport System."
The Leonid Komarov is the ninth vessel in the Project 3050.1A series. A total of 13 navigation aid vessels are planned for construction in this series, all of which will be delivered to various inland waterway basin administrations under Rosmorrechflot. The lead vessel, "Kazarka," was delivered to the Volga-Baltic Basin Administration in 2024. Previously, eight vessels of this series have joined the fleets of the Amur, Volga-Baltic, Volga-Don, Dvina-Pechora, Yenisei, and Lena Basin Administrations.
The vessel's primary mission is to provide maintenance services for buoys and other navigation aids on inland waterways. Auxiliary duties include water depth monitoring and handling non-self-propelled barges with a displacement of no more than 400 tons through towing or pushing operations. The Leonid Komarov features a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, with an overall length of 26.8 meters, a beam of 4.2 meters, and a draft of only 1 meter. The main diesel engine has a power output of 220 kW, and the vessel is crewed by 6 personnel, with an endurance of 6 days. It is equipped with a deck crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 1 ton for maintenance operations. The vessel is built in accordance with Russian Maritime Register of Shipping rules and meets the requirements for navigation in ice class 20 areas.
The vessel is equipped with the latest propulsion plant management system, equipment for maintaining inland waterway navigation aids, and advanced communication and navigation systems. Since the delivery of the first vessel in 2024, the Project 3050.1A series navigation aid vessels have been successfully operating on multiple inland waterways in Russia, demonstrating good seaworthiness and operational efficiency. The addition of the Leonid Komarov will enhance the mobility and autonomous operational capabilities of the Kama Basin Administration's fleet, helping to respond more quickly to changes in waterway navigation conditions and ensuring safe navigation.
