In 2009-2010, Sea Tech Ltd. elaborated a complete set of detailed documentation for construction of a self-propelled dry cargo ship (project RSD44) to carry general and bulk cargoes including containers. The ship has two cargo holds, wheelhouse at bow and deckhouse at stern.

Self-propelled multipurpose dry-cargo ship ofmixed (river-sea) navigation area with two cargo holds, intended for carrying of the general and bulk cargoes, including TEU and FEU up to 9’6’’ height in holds, steel, scrap, grain, timber, logs and carving woods, potash and mineral fertilizer, niter, sulphur, coal, building materials, paper, large-dimension cargoes.

The RSD44 ships are to supersede the preceding 'Volgo-Don' family vessels. Cargo capacity is increased by 500 tons. Above-water height enables passing the Neva bridges and the Rostov-on-Don railroad bridge undrawn. The ships will be automated extensively and furnished with up-to-date rudder propellers to obtain efficient maneuverability and excellent steerability.

The family-first 'Captain Ruzmankin' vessel was launched at Oka Shipyard in November 2010. As an initial phase, ten ships of this project were constructed till January 2012.
