 The NSC Department of Transport
Fleet Maintenance possesses many years of experience in the technical management of
vessels of various types and functions, including transportation fleet vessels, tankers,
dredgers, service/salvage/rescue and passenger fleet vessels, successfully operating in
any part of the world.Fleet Maintenance is responsible for the technical maintenance of
vessels in accordance with international convention. This includes organizing the required
periodic technical servicing, submitting vessels for examination by classification bodies
and other inspection organs, and overseeing the supply of spare parts, lubricants,
consumables and other items to vessels. In addition, the Department’s responsibilities
include the organization of classification and dockyard repair of vessels, with the
fulfillment of the entire spectrum of work as in other Russian and international
ship-repair yards. All aspects of repair work are carried out under the close supervision
of a superintendent, guaranteeing both high-quality work and effective cost-control.
The Department’s specialists perform the following tasks:
- Inspection and survey of vessels;
- Organization and supervision of vessel repair;
- Supervision of vessel construction;
- Provision of the services of marine and technical superintendents;
- Reflagging and reclassification of vessels;
- Planning, accounting and expense analysis according to vessels’ engineering budgets.

| The “Testing Laboratory” is accredited (certified) by the Russian
Maritime Register of Shipping. The Certificate of Accreditation is No. 04.70887.190 from
19.08.2004. The Testing Laboratory quickly and at reasonable cost fulfills requests for
quality analysis of bunker fuel, lubricating oils, water after oil-water separation, and
foam-forming liquids for fire-extinguishers.
The Laboratory is outfitted with modern equipment, allowing not only routine analysis, but
also specialized analysis of control samples from the working environment of vessel
equipment. Along with such analyses as the determination of density, kinematic viscosity
and water content, the laboratory performs specialized work such as the determination of
sulfur content by X-ray fluorescence, temperatures of combustion and freezing, breakup,
and ash and coke content in fuels under investigation.
The Testing Laboratory is also capable of estimating calorific value, cetane index and
fuel odour index, and fuel mixes are checked for their stability and compatibility.
The analysis of lubricating oils used in operations allows the determination of density,
kinematic viscosity at 40oC and 100oC, viscosity index, general or remnant alkalinity,
acidity, insoluble deposits, water, and temperatures of combustion and freezing.
The contents of oil and oil products in bilge water before and after separation are
determined using infra-red spectrometry.
Quality of foam-formation is determined at a special installation known as “PENA”, as
developed by the All-Russian Research Institute for Fire Safety
Pozhavtomatika at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Holders of advanced degrees and certified specialists carry out the laboratory work in
accordance with GOST or ISO standards. Employees at the Testing Laboratory, on the basis
of standard regulations and reject parameters, prepare professional-level summaries
regarding the results of completed testwork, and give recommendations for further action.
