The multifunctional supply ship Ekaterina Velikaya caught fire in Vladivostok. The ship left the shipyard three years ago.

In Vladivostok, Russia, a fire occurred on the reinforced ice-class multipurpose supply vessel Ekaterina Velikaya, resulting in one death and three injuries. The Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation reported this on Monday, April 8.

“Today at around 3 o’clock in the morning at the Dalzavod Ship Repair Center in Primorye, the multifunctional supply vessel Ekaterina Velikaya caught fire. The fire was extinguished. According to preliminary data, three people are in the hospital, one died,” the message said.

According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, when firefighters arrived, smoke was coming from the stern of the ship, and there was smoke in the holds. Five people were rescued, three of them were injured.

As a result of the fire, a technological room covering an area of ​​about 50 square meters was damaged by fire. The cause of the fire and damage is under investigation.

The first multifunctional reinforced ice-class supply vessel “Ekaterina Velikaya” was called a “unique vessel” and a “mega-icebreaker”. It left the slipway of the Zvezda shipbuilding complex in 2020. The ship can perform icebreaking work in the Arctic sea zone with an ice thickness of up to 2 m in winter-spring navigation and up to 2.5 m in summer-autumn navigation. Thanks to the super-maneuverable steering crowns, the vessel can actually turn in place.

Let’s remember that at the end of February the icebreaker Ermak was burning in the Russian St. Petersburg.

The Ukrainian military managed to destroy four large landing ships (LDC) of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The enemy had only five ships of this type left.
