Pella Shipyard in the Leningrad region of Russia will deliver two pusher type towboats to their owner “Best” of Samara, Russia in late summer of 2006. Designed by Spetssudoproekt of St Petersburg, the 30.4 by 8.8-meter (99.7x28.9-feet) will have a molded depth of 3.8 meters and a 2.8 meter draft.

The engines will turn into a pair of Rolls-Royce model US155 Z-drives with 1600 mm (63-inch) fixed-pitch propellers in nozzles. This propulsion system is expected to be give the boat a 24-ton bollard pull and a 13-knot light running speed.
