During the major event "Russian Industrialist-2025", recently held in St. Petersburg, representatives of the USC announced a series of high-performance hovercraft, the design documentation for which was developed by engineers of the Almaz Design Bureau. These vessels are designed to solve the transport problem in the north of Russia.
As you know, the Arctic regions of the country are distinguished by the high cost of air transportation, the water communication capabilities that depend on the season, and the seasonal impassability of roads, which significantly limits the volume of cargo transportation and the delivery of workers.

Against this background, USC ships equipped with an air cushion look like a very effective and affordable solution that will help ensure the transportation of goods and people to remote northern areas throughout the year, and their versatility ensures transportation by water, swamps and land, ensuring stable logistics.

As part of the presentation, three main models of the new SVP series were named.:
- TSVP-30 is a cargo solution that transports containers, tracked and wheeled special equipment weighing no more than 30 tons over a distance of up to 400 km, which will service oil wells with infrastructure facilities. Also, with the help of modules, it can be converted to transport people, to medical outpatient clinics or workshops.
- TSVP-60 is another vessel with a similar range of 400 km, the main task of which is the transportation of bulky cargo and large equipment with a total weight not exceeding 60 tons. It can also be modified into a cargo and passenger ferry.
- TSVP-150 is a transport vessel with a maximum load capacity of 150 tons and which can deliver bulky cargoes (up to 18 × 12 × 12 meters) from ships in the roadstead to the shore, or to transport them by land routes.
