Proekt-1 Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On March 5, 2019, at 11:00 AM, the fishing trawler 'Proekt-1', carrying a crew of 20, encountered engine trouble while navigating the fishing grounds of Røstbanken, located 50 miles west of Røst. Prompt action was initiated when the Norwegian Coastguard patrol boat 'Sortland' responded to the distress call. 'Sortland' successfully established a towing connection and began the journey back to Sortland Sound, which took approximately 19 hours. Early on the morning of March 6, the situation was efficiently managed by the NSSR lifeboat 'Knut Hoem', which took over the towing duties of the stricken trawler. By 6:00 AM, 'Proekt-1' was safely moored at Sortland for necessary repairs. The vessel had originally set out on March 1 at 10:30 PM. Following successful repairs, 'Proekt-1' resumed its journey on March 14 at 1:00 PM, sailing towards Melbu and subsequently heading into the Norwegian Sea by 5:30 PM on the same day.

On November 11, 2018, the trawler "Proekt-1" experienced a grounding incident while navigating the Varanger Fjord, just as it was nearing the port of Kirkenes after departing from Murmansk. The vessel found itself grounded at coordinates 069 43 43 N, 030 01 56 E around 7:09 a.m. In response to the situation, authorities requested assistance from the tugboat "North Tug". Fortunately, the trawler managed to refloat on its own by 9:15 a.m. Following this, the "North Tug" provided further assistance, helping the "Proekt-1" successfully berth in Kirkenes by 9:40 a.m.

On August 9, 2023, at 7:30 AM Moscow time, the fishing trawler PROEKT-1 encountered difficulties when its propeller became entangled in its own trawl while operating in the Barents Sea. As a result, the vessel found itself drifting east of Kildin Island in the Murmansk region. In response to the emergency, the salvage tug ATRIYA (IMO 8724107) was dispatched to render assistance. The trawler is set to be towed to safety within Kolskiy Bay, ensuring the crew's and vessel's safe return to calmer waters.
