The shipbuilding division of JSC Port Kolomna has begun construction of the new pusher tug Kolomensky-1601.
It is noted that this is the first mixed river-sea navigation vessel to be built at the company's shipyard.
The capacity of the pusher tug (1,600 hp) and the characteristics of the propulsion system will allow the tug to move trains with a total lifting capacity of up to 12 thousand tons; construction will be carried out from scratch without reference to the projects and hull elements of other vessels.
