On April 9, 1974, in Kerch, at the Zaliv shipyard, the first supertanker in the USSR, the Crimea, was launched, which gave the project 1511 the same name. As part of the project, 6 supertankers with a displacement of 180,000 tons were built, these are Crimea, Kuban, Kavkaz ”, “Kuzbass”, “Krivbass”, “Soviet oil”, the last of the project was launched in 1980. All of them received the port of registry Novorossiysk.
The tankers that were built in the 80s of the Pobeda project were two times smaller with a displacement of 68 thousand tons. The Pobeda project included tankers Pobeda, Marshal Vasilevsky, General Tyulenev, Marshal Chuikov, Marshal Baghramyan, Fortieth Anniversary of Victory, Alexander Pokryshkin. The tankers of the project are still in operation today.
The supertanker "Krym" was sold to Vietnam in the 90s and is still in operation today and is called "Chi Linh".
The largest supertanker in the world was Knock Nevis launched in 1976. Its deadweight exceeded 560 thousand tons. Length - 458 m, width - 69 m. It was built in Japan by order of Norway. The tanker was decommissioned in 2010.
Those. on the example of "Crimea" and "Knock Nevis" we can assume that the service life of this type of vessels is at least 35 years. Why this amateurish calculation?
In the 90s, "efficient private owners" came to power in the country and "thanks" to economic activity, the country completely lost its supertanker fleet. Do you think it was sold to countries that did not have the technology to build such ships?
No, it was sold to Bangladesh for cutting into scrap metal, and by 1998 it (the fleet) ceased to exist. As a result, one of the "efficient" market business executives bought a Mercedes.
The modern tanker fleet of the Russian Federation includes tankers with a carrying capacity of 120 thousand tons, these are Anatoly Kolodkin, Nikolai Zuev, Georgy Maslov, Amur Bay, Baykal Bay, Amur Bay, but they are all built in South Korea.
Tanker “Pobeda” built in 1981 (USSR) DW 67980 t.
In 1974, the team of them. B. E. Butoma was launched first, bearing the name of the peninsula. Following the "Crimea", supertankers "Caucasus", "Kuban", "Kuzbass" were built in a short time. Somewhat later another giant tanker Kryvbas left for sea trials. The displacement of each of them is 182 thousand tons, the carrying capacity is 150 thousand tons. The length of ocean-going oil carriers is 295 m, the height of the hull is 45 m. The tanks of each supertanker contain such an amount of oil products that would require 40 trains to transport. The last in this series was the Soviet Oil supertanker.

In 1981, the first-born of a new series of Soviet oil tankers, the large-tonnage tanker Pobeda, was launched from the dock of the Zaliv plant and launched. Subsequently, having successfully passed running and other types of tests, the "cleanest" tanker "Victory" went to the port of permanent registry - Novorossiysk. This vessel is 243 m long, over 32 m wide and 18 m high and has a double bottom and double sides, which eliminates possible sea water pollution. In subsequent years, Kerch shipbuilders launched several more tankers of this series, the most environmentally friendly in the world. Here are the names of some of them: "Marshal Vasilevsky", "General Tyulenev", "Marshal Chuikov". The displacement of each of them is 84.5 thousand tons. Lighter carrier "Sevmorput"
In 1986, the workers of the Kerch plant "Zaliv", with the help of Leningrad specialists, brought the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaking lighter carrier "Sevmorput" out of the dry dock. This unique vessel with a length of more than 250 m is capable of taking on board 74 lighters, or 1224 sea containers of international standard, and deliver them to any point in the Arctic and Antarctic.
Since the hoisting of the flag and the start of work, the Sevmorput lighter carrier has traveled 302,000 miles, transported more than 1.5 million tons of cargo, having carried out only one nuclear reactor recharge during this time. He still serves in the Murmansk Shipping Company.

On April 9, 1974, the first Soviet supertanker Krym was launched. It turned out to be the largest tanker operated not only in the USSR, but also in modern Russia. The supertanker was developed at Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau, the oldest design bureau located in St. Petersburg. We will tell you more about him and other Soviet sea giants, as well as about what ships came to replace them. The supertanker was manufactured at the Kerch Shipyard named after. B.E. Butoms.
Tanker project 1511 "Crimea":
Tanker length - 295 m, width - 45 m, depth - 25.4 m, draft - 17 m,
displacement - 180 thousand tons, deadweight - 150,500 tons,
load capacity - 143 250 t,
travel speed 15.5 knots, steam turbine power - 30 thousand liters. With.
The total fuel supply is 9250 tons, which makes it possible to carry out a cruising range of 25 thousand miles (practically around the globe).
Crew - 36 people.
The dimensions were chosen specifically so that the ship could pass through the Bosporus and Dardanelles.
Over four hundred different devices and systems of mechanization and automation are installed on the ship. A special inert gas system guarantees the explosion safety of the tanker.
There was no experience in creating supertankers in the Soviet Union. In this connection, the equipment of the "Crimea" consisted mainly of newly developed components, mechanisms and systems. There were more than three hundred of them. Most of them did not pass preliminary bench tests for two reasons. Firstly, it was necessary to start operating the tanker as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the current situation on the energy carriers market. Secondly, there were no stands for testing equipment of such gigantic dimensions. Therefore, the supertanker went on its first voyage very “raw”.
Sea trials were also carried out in the shortest possible time, and therefore their intensity was high. A variety of emergencies were simulated, which had to be eliminated by both the ship's automation and the crew. For example, the failure of one of two steam boilers was simulated.
In 1974, the team of the Kerch Shipyard "Zaliv" named after. B. E. Butoma launched the first Crimean supertanker bearing the name of the peninsula.

The tanks of each supertanker contain such an amount of oil products that would require 40 trains to transport. The last in this series was the Soviet Oil supertanker. But, despite the accelerated pace of production and testing, all 6 supertankers turned out to be extremely accident-free. Although the accident on each of them could lead to catastrophic consequences. This is explained by the fact that in the 70s tankers were built according to the old scheme, which does not meet the current standards of "environmental friendliness" for this type of vessel. Modern supertankers are made with a double hull, which minimizes oil pollution of the vast expanses of the world's oceans.
In total, six Project 1511 supertankers were produced - Krym, Kuban, Kavkaz, Kuzbass, Kryvbass, Sovetskaya Neft - were assigned to the port of Novorossiysk. And "Crimea" in 1989 was sold to Vietnam and changed its name to "Chi Linh".
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, supertankers belonged to four owners. As already mentioned, "Crimea" became the Vietnamese tanker "Chi Linh." "Kavkaz" in 1993 was sold to the company "Nord-West Service", which includes the North-Western Shipping Company.
In the same year, Krivbass "sailed" to Murmansk, becoming the property of the Arctic-Service company.
In the ranks is only the first-born - the supertanker "Crimea" / "Chi Linh". All others were scrapped between 1996 and 1998 and sold for scrap in Bangladesh.
Who came to replace?
In the 1980s, the dimensions of tankers built in the USSR were reduced. The Krym was replaced by the Pobeda family of tankers, which have a deadweight of more than 2 times less - 68 thousand tons. Their undeniable advantage can be considered, perhaps, full compliance with the requirements of "environmentally friendly technologies".
In this series were built "Victory", "Marshal Vasilevsky", "General Tyulenev", "Marshal Chuikov", "Marshal Baghramyan", "Fortieth Anniversary of Victory", "Alexander Pokryshkin".
These tankers are still in operation.
The newest additions to the Russian tanker fleet are excellent in every respect. They are economical, environmentally friendly and spacious. Such, for example, are Anatoly Kolodkin, Nikolai Zuev, Georgy Maslov, Amur Bay, Baikal Bay, Amur Bay… Their deadweight exceeds 120 thousand tons.
A tanker was sunk in Libya.
A little war.
News from M. Voitenko.
I reprint the news in its entirety, in chronological order, I do not correct anything.
Crimean tanker shelled, holes, water inflow
October 8: Tanker according to the latest information, loaded smuggled oil or fuel 2 miles from the coast, from the pipeline. A Libyan Coast Guard boat intercepted him while he was on the move and ordered him to stop. The tanker did not respond to the request, after which fire was opened on it from a 30-mm gun or machine gun, I don’t understand. The tanker received holes in the hull near the cargo tanks and the engine room, a leak opened, a list appeared - judging by the photo, the list should be to the port side. The boat returned to Tripoli.
As of 0730 GMT on October 8, the current location of the tanker and its condition are unknown, and nothing is known about the crew.
The photo shows jets of something, water or fuel, flowing from the tanker. If it's cargo, then it's some kind of light grade of fuel.
The tanker was not, judging by the latest information, detained - in any case, this information can be understood in this way. Consequently, it was fired on in international waters.
If the tanker really belongs to a Crimean company, then insofar as Crimea is annexed by Russia, the tanker is in fact Russian.
