On Tuesday, April 23, the St. Petersburg enterprise Izhorskiye Gidrosystems shipped the control system and engine room of the main crane designed for the icebreaker Viktor Chernomyrdin project 22600, built at Admiralty Shipyards, manufactured at its own facilities.
The crane project was completely created by the specialists of the Izhorsky Hydraulic Systems Design Bureau. The developers have implemented a number of original technical solutions. In particular, the hydraulic and electrical equipment is placed as much as possible outside the main body of the crane, a closed circuit is used on the winch of the main lift and much more.

"A successful layout solution made it possible to compactly place the tank of the main oil pump unit, the main pumping unit, filter and distributor blocks, an oil cooler, and the main distribution equipment in the engine room, thus freeing up space inside the crane, while simplifying the maintenance of these units and devices," Mil said.Dmitry Galkin, General Director of Izhorskiye Gidrosystems, Press FlotProm.
He specified that the crane's lifting capacity reaches 30 tons, and the maximum reach is 43 meters.
Recall that the icebreaker Viktor Chernomyrdin was commissioned in 2020. The vessel is considered to be the largest specialized diesel-electric icebreaker in the world. The displacement exceeds 22 thousand tons.
Earlier, in February of this year, Izhora Hydraulic Systems shipped to the Amur Shipyard an import-substituted deck crane manipulator IM150M, designed for installation on a small rocket ship of the 22800 project (code "Karakurt").
In March, the company began testing the head launching and lifting device (SPU) for the duty boat, developed by order of the MSS Group of Companies.
In 2023, Izhora Hydraulic Systems manufactured full-turn and ship bridge electrohydraulic cranes for the torpedo boat of the 1388NZTM project, providing a lifting capacity of 3 tons at a reach of 9 meters.
