***Volgoneft*** (Волгонефть) is a series of [oil tankers](/source/Oil_tanker) that was designed in the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union) for the [Volgotanker](/source/Volgotanker) shipping company. Ships of this series were built from the 1960s to the 1990s. They were designed as "[mixed navigation vessels](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F)": primarily for use on the large canals and navigable rivers of [European Russia](/source/European_Russia), but also capable of [short-sea shipping](/source/Short-sea_shipping) in favourable sea conditions, with waves no more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) high.

There are five [classes](/source/Ship_class) in the Volgoneft series. In chronological order, they are Project 558; Project 550; Project 1577; Project 550A; and Project 630. Many Volgoneft tankers have been [scrapped](/source/Ship_breaking), or have been converted into [barges](/source/Barge) or [lighters](/source/Lighter_(barge)) for [bunkering](/source/Bunkering). However, others continue to be used as river and short-sea tankers. Volgotanker has sold some of its Volgoneft tankers to various other operators; some of them outside Russia.

Three Volgoneft tankers have broken in two in heavy seas, spilling their cargo: [MV *Volgoneft-248*](/source/MV_Volgoneft-248) in 1999; [MV *Volgoneft-139*](/source/MV_Volgoneft-139) in 2007; and [MV *Volgoneft-212*](/source/MV_Volgoneft-212) in 2024. Also in 2024, [MV *Volgoneft-239*](/source/MV_Volgoneft-239) was damaged in a storm and ran aground, although without breaking in two.

## Shared characteristics

Each Volgoneft tanker has a [double hull](/source/Double_hull), with a [forecastle](/source/Forecastle) and [poop](/source/Poop_deck). She has twin fixed-pitch [screws](/source/Propeller), twin diesel engines, and twin [balanced rudders](/source/Balanced_rudder). Her engines are aft, along with her [superstructure](/source/Superstructure) and her [bridge](/source/Bridge_(nautical)).[1][2][3][4]

All Volgoneft tankers are designed to fit through the [locks](/source/Lock_(water_navigation)) of the [Volga–Don Canal](/source/Volga%E2%80%93Don_Canal). Projects 550, 1577, and 550A all have the same dimensions: 132.6 m (435 ft) length; 16.9 m (55 ft) [beam](/source/Beam_(nautical)); and 5.5 m (18 ft) depth.[1][2][3] Project 630 is slightly larger: 137.81 m (452.1 ft) length; 17 m (56 ft) beam; and 6.4 m (21 ft) depth.[4]

Projects 550, 1577, and 550A all have a pair of 8NVD48AU diesel engines, made by [VEB Schwermaschinenbau „Karl Liebknecht“](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maschinenfabrik_Buckau_R._Wolf) (SKL) in [Magdeburg](/source/Magdeburg), [East Germany](/source/East_Germany). Each 8NVD48AU engine is rated at 736 kW.[1][2][3] Project 630 uses a pair of DGR2A150/750 diesel engines, each of which is rated at 882 kW.[4]

## Names

"Volgoneft" is a [blend word](/source/Blend_word), combining the name of the river [Volga](/source/Volga) (Волга) with "neft" (нефть), the Russian word for "oil". The original name of most of the ships in the series was "*Volgoneft-*" followed by a number. Production of Projects 558, 550, 1577, and 550A overlapped for several years. "*Volgoneft-*" names were originally allocated in small, sequential blocks: four to Project 550; seven to Project 558; two to Project 1577; six to Project 550; and so on. As a result, each Project had ships in several numerically separate sequences of "*Volgoneft-*" names.[1][2][3][5]

In 1973, nearly every tanker built thus far was renamed, in order to group ships of each Project into one continuous sequence of names. The "*Volgoneft-*" part was kept, but the number was changed. Project 550 ships were renamed in the sequence *Volgoneft-21* to *Volgoneft-45*. Project 558 ships were renamed in the sequence *Volgoneft-46* to *Volgoneft-80*. Project 550A ships were renamed in the sequence *Volgoneft-101* to *Volgoneft-165*. Project 1577 ships were renamed *Volgoneft-201* onwards, but with a few single gaps. As a result of the renaming, many of the names between *Volgoneft-21* and *Volgoneft-103*, inclusive, have been used twice: for one ship before 1973, and another ship after.[1][2][3][5]

## Project 558

Project 558 tankers were built between 1963 and 1968. 35 were built; all at the Krasnoarmeyskaya Shipyard (later [Volgograd Shipyard](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4)) in [Volgograd](/source/Volgograd). The first five ships of the Project were completed in 1963 and 1964 as *Velikiy* (*Великий*); *Bystriy* (*Быстрый*); *Besstrashniy* (*Бесстрашный*); *Vazhniy* (*Важный*); and *Bezuprechniy* (*Безупречный*), meaning "Great"; "Quick"; "Fearless"; "Important"; and "Flawless" respectively. The remaining ships of the Project were originally named in two continuous sequences: from *Volgoneft-9* to *Volgoneft-32*, and from *Volgoneft-37* to *Volgoneft-43*.[5]

In 1965, *Bystriy*; *Besstrashniy*; *Bezuprechniy*; and *Vazhniy* were renamed *Volgoneft-2*; *Volgoneft-3*; *Volgoneft-4*; and *Volgoneft-5* respectively. In the 1973 renaming, all Project 558 tankers except *Velikiy* were renamed in one continuous series from *Volgoneft-46* to *Volgoneft-80*. Before 1973, most of these names had been applied to ships of Project 550 or Project 1577.[5]

Some ships of the Project have since been renamed again. Several of their new names reflect their conversion into bunkering barges or lighters. *Bunkerbaza-11* and *Bunkerbaza-12* (*Бункербаза-11* and *Бункербаза-12*) mean "Bunker Base-11" and "Bunker Base-12". *Bunkerovochnaya yomkost-48*, *-49*, and *-64* (*Бункеровочная ёмкость-48*, *-49*, and *-64*) mean "Bunkering Tank-48", "-49", and "-64".[5] *Volgoneft-57*; *Volgoneft-79*; and *Volgoneft-80* (post-1973 names) were converted into non-propelled oil pumping units, and renamed *NPS-57*; *NPS-79*; and *NPS-80* (*НПС-57*; *НПС-79*; and *НПС-80*).[6][7][8] *Volgoneft-62* and *Volgoneft-65* (post-1973 names) have been converted into non-propelled "sweeping stations", and renamed *NZS-62* and *NZS-65* (*НЗС-62* and *НЗС-65*).[9][10]

23 Project 558 tankers have been scrapped. *Volgoneft-63* (formerly *Volgoneft-13*) and *Volgoneft-77* (formerly *Volgoneft-31*) were scrapped in February 1975. Other ships of the Project were scrapped from 1985 onwards.[5]

As of 2024, three Project 558 ships remain in service as tankers: yard numbers 780; 784; and 792. 780 was built in May 1966 as *Volgoneft-24*, and in 1973 was renamed *Volgoneft-53*.[11] 784 was built in September 1966 as *Volgoneft-28*, and in 1973 was renamed *Volgoneft-28*. In 2021 she was renamed *Prikamye*, (*Прикамье*), after the [Prikamye](/source/Prikamye) region around the [Kama](/source/Kama_(river)) river.[12] 792 was built in 1967 as *Volgoneft-40*, and in 1973 was renamed *Volgoneft-58*. She was renamed *Orion-1* (*Орион-1*) in 1994, which was shortened to *Orion* (*Орион*) some time before 2011.[13]

## Project 550

Project 550 tankers were built between 1966 and 1970. 25 were built; all at the Dimotrov Shipyard in [Varna, Bulgaria](/source/Varna,_Bulgaria). The first three ships of the Project were completed in 1966 and 1967 as *Nadyozhniy* (*Надёжный*); *Druzhniy* (*Дружный*); and *Verniy* (*Верный*), meaning "Reliable"; "Friendly"; and "Faithful" respectively. The remainder were given names in four short series: from *Volgoneft-34* to *Volgoneft-36*; *Volgoneft-46* to *Volgoneft-51*; *Volgoneft-58* to *Volgoneft-63*; and *Volgoneft-70* to *Volgoneft-75*.[1]

In the 1973 renaming, all Project 550 tankers except *Nadyozhniy* were renamed into one continuous series from *Volgoneft-22* to *Volgoneft-44*. 19 ships of the Project received names previously applied to Project 558 tankers. Also, four names in the series have been borne by two different ships of Project 550: one before 1973, and one after. The original *Volgoneft-33*; *Volgoneft-34*; *Volgoneft-35*; and *Volgoneft-36* became *Volgoneft-24*; *Volgoneft-25*; and *Volgoneft-26* and *Volgoneft-27* respectively. Meanwhile, the original *Volgoneft-51*; *Volgoneft-58*; *Volgoneft-59*; and *Volgoneft-60* became *Volgoneft-33*; *Volgoneft-34*; *Volgoneft-35*; and *Volgoneft-36* respectively.[1]

*Nadyozhniy* kept her original name until 1987, when she became *Volgoneft-21*. In 2014, *Volgoneft-22* was renamed *Kapitan Salnikov* (*Капитан Сальников*). *Volgoneft-28* (formerly *Volgoneft-46*) has been converted into a bunkering lighter, and in 2018 she was renamed *Bunkerbaza-28* (*Бункербаза-28*, meaning "Bunker Base 28").[1]

13 Project 550 tankers have been scrapped, starting with *Volgoneft-27* (formerly *Volgoneft-36*) in November 1986. Others are out of service, or have been converted into bunkering barges or lighters. Six remain in service: *Volgoneft-32* (formerly *Volgoneft-50*); *Volgoneft-33* (formerly *Volgoneft-51*); *Volgoneft-37* (formerly *Volgoneft-61*); *Volgoneft-39* (formerly *Volgoneft-63*); and *Volgoneft-44* (formerly *Volgoneft-74*).[1]

## Project 1577

Project 1577 tankers were built between 1967 and 1979. 44 were built, all at the Volgograd Shipyard in Volgograd. The first two, completed in 1967 and 1968, were named *Volgoneft-44M* and *Volgoneft-45M*. The next six were named in a short series from *Volgoneft-52* to *Volgoneft-57* inclusive. In 1969, *Volgoneft-53* to *Volgoneft-57* became *Volgoneft-53M* to *Volgoneft-57M*. *Volgoneft-52* did not receive an "M" suffix, and in 1972 was renamed *50 let YaASSR* (*50 лет ЯАССР*, meaning "50th year of the [Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic](/source/Yakut_Autonomous_Soviet_Socialist_Republic)". Between 1969 and 1973, further ships of Project 1577 were completed as *Volgoneft-64M* to *Volgoneft-69M*; *Volgoneft-76M* to *Volgoneft-82M*; *Volgoneft-86M* to *Volgoneft-92M*; and *Volgoneft-97M* to *Volgoneft-103M*. In 1971, *Volgoneft-80M* was renamed *Komsomol Volgograda* (*Комсомол Волгограда*).[2]

In the 1973 renaming, Project 1577 tankers that still had "*Volgoneft-*" names were renamed in two continuous series: from *Volgoneft-201* to *Volgoneft-212*; and from *Volgoneft-214* to *Volgoneft-234*. The name *Volgoneft-213* seems not to have been used. Project 1577 tankers built after the 1973 renaming were given names in the series *Volgoneft-235* to *Volgoneft-256*; and *Volgoneft-258* to *Volgoneft-270*. The ship that was to be named *Volgoneft-257* was instead completed as *60 let Oktyabrya* (*60 лет Октября*), commemorating the 60th anniversary of the [October Revolution](/source/October_Revolution).[2]

Numerous Project 1577 tankers have since been renamed. In 1978, *Volgoneft-258* was renamed *Sovetskaya Yakutiya* (*Советская Якутия*), after the [Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic](/source/Yakut_Autonomous_Soviet_Socialist_Republic). In 1985, *50 let YaASSR* was renamed *Kapitan Taratorin* (*Капитан Тараторин*). In 1993 *Volgoneft-201*, the lead ship of Project 1577, was renamed *Valaams* (*Валаамс*). In 1994, *60 let Oktyabrya* was renamed *Kapitan Krasnoshtanov* (*Капитан Красноштанов*).[2]

In 1997, *Volgoneft-220* and *Volgoneft-245* were renamed *Mekhanik Semiglasov* (*Механик Семигласов*) and *Mekhanik Chebotaryov* (*Механик Чеботарёв*) respectively. Dmitry Ivanovich Semiglasov was a mechanic of the steamship *Smolensk*, who died near [Stalingrad](/source/Battle_of_Stalingrad) in 1942.[14] V.F. Chebotaryov was a mechanic of the steamship *Opora Socialisma*.[15]

In 1998, *Volgoneft-238* and *Volgoneft-241* were renamed *Viktor Sukharin* (*Виктор Сухарин*) and *Leonid Shmonin* (*Леонид Шмонин*) respectively. V.I. Sukharin was Deputy Head of Volgotanker, and Commissioner of the People's Commissar of the River Fleet for Supply of the Front. In 2013 *Viktor Sukharin* was renamed *Nefeli I*,[16] and in 2014 *Leonid Shmonin* was renamed *Vyacheslav Pankov* (*Вячеслав Панков*). Pankov had been a senior manager of Volgotanker.[17]

Also in 1998, *Volgoneft-232* and *Volgoneft-253* were renamed *Mekhanik Tormasov* (*Механик Тормасов*) and *Mekhanik Udodov* (*Механик Удодов*) respectively.[18][19] In 1999, *Volgoneft-221* and *Volgoneft-225* were renamed *Mekhanik Voronkov* (*Механик Воронков*) and *Mekhanik I.Ya. Razhev* (*Механик И.Я. Ражев*) respectively.[20] Lev Sergeevich Voronkov was a mechanic of the steamship *Manychstroy*, and twice awarded the [Order of Lenin](/source/Order_of_Lenin).[21] In 2000, *Volgoneft-235* was renamed *Mekhanik Banatov* (*Механик Банатов*), after Nikolai Vasilyevich Banatov. He was a mechanic of the Volga State Shipping Company, led the [Stakhanovite movement](/source/Stakhanovite_movement) among river workers, and later headed the shipyard in [Astrakhan](/source/Astrakhan).[22]

In about 2000, *Volgoneft-243* was renamed *Marshal Skomorokhov* (*Маршал Скоморохов*), after [Nikolai Skomorokhov](/source/Nikolai_Skomorokhov), a Second World War [flying ace](/source/Flying_ace) and later Marshal of the [Soviet Air Forces](/source/Soviet_Air_Forces). In about 2002, *Volgoneft-202* was renamed *Inzhener Nazarov* (*Инженер Назаров*).[2]

In 2006, *Volgoneft-204*; *Volgoneft-206*; and *Volgoneft-211* were renamed *Zherekh* (*Жерех*); *Taymen* (*Таймень*); and *Omul*, (*Омуль*) after three species of fish. [Taimen](/source/Hucho_taimen) is a Russian [salmonid](/source/Salmonidae); *zherekh* is Russian for [asp](/source/Asp_(fish)); and *omul* is Russian for the [Arctic cisco](/source/Arctic_cisco). In 2022, *Zherekh* was renamed *Gogland* (*Гогланд*), after the island of [Gogland](/source/Gogland) in the Baltic.[2]

In about 2009, *Volgoneft-228* was renamed *Lensk* (*Ленск*), after the town of [Lensk](/source/Lensk) in Siberia. In 2022 she was renamed again, as *Navidzher-3* (*Навиджер-3*). In 2017, *Volgoneft-263* was renamed *Atlantic Wave 1*. She is currently registered in [Lagos](/source/Lagos), Nigeria. In 2020, *Volgoneft-226* was renamed *Blagovest* (*Благовест*), after the [blagovest](/source/Blagovest) style of [Russian Orthodox bell ringing](/source/Russian_Orthodox_bell_ringing). In 2022, *Volgoneft-236* was renamed *Pyotr Bagration* (*Пётр Багратион*), after Prince [Pyotr Bagration](/source/Pyotr_Bagration), who was a general in the [Napoleonic Wars](/source/Napoleonic_Wars). Also in 2022, *Volgoneft-252* was renamed *Naviger-2* (*Навиджер-2*).[2]

12 Project 1577 tankers have been scrapped, starting with *Marshal Skomorokhov* in 2012.[2]

### Conversions

In 2024, *Volgoneft-227* was converted into a [dry cargo ship](/source/Dry_cargo_ship), and renamed *Simbirtsit* (*Симбирцит*).[23] [Simbirzite](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%82) is a mineral: an amber-coloured variety of [calcite](/source/Calcite). The hulls of at least two Project 1577 tankers, *Nefeli I* and *Vyacheslav Pankov*, have been shortened by 25 metres (82 ft). This is to allow them to be reclassified to operate in heavier seas.[16][17]

### Incidents

There have been emergencies aboard several Project 1577 tankers. *Volgoneft-248* broke in two in 1999, and *Volgoneft-212* did the same in 2024.[24][25] *Volgoneft-239* ran aground in the same storm that broke *Volgoneft-212* in two.[26] In 2012, a fire aboard *Inzhener Nazarov*, formerly *Volgoneft-202*, caused the death of one crew member.[27]

## Project 550A

Project 550A tankers were built between 1971 and 1982. 65 were built: the first four at the Dimitrov Shipyard in Varna; and the remainder at the "Ivan Dimitrov" Shipyard in [Ruse, Bulgaria](/source/Ruse,_Bulgaria).[3]

The first seven ships were named in two short series: *Volgoneft-83M* to *Volgoneft-85M*; *Volgoneft-93M*to and *Volgoneft-96M*. In the 1973 renaming they were renamed in one continuous sequence from *Volgoneft-101* to *Volgoneft-107*. The remainder were completed with names in a continuous series from *Volgoneft-108* to *Volgoneft-165*.[3]

Some Project 550A tankers have since been renamed. In 1996, *Volgoneft-127* was renamed *Kapitan Pirozhkov* (*Капитан Пирожков*), after N.I. Pirozhkov, who was a Volgotanker captain.[28] In 1999, *Volgoneft-110* was renamed *Kapitan Timofeev* (*Капитан Тимофеев*), after Nikolai Yakovlevich Timofeev, who was a [Hero of Socialist Labour](/source/Hero_of_Socialist_Labour).[29] In 2000, *Volgoneft-161* was renamed *Kola Beldy* (*Кола Бельды*), after the [Nanai](/source/Nanai_people) singer [Kola Beldy](/source/Kola_Beldy). In 2002 she was renamed again, as *Tara-1* (*Тара-1*).[30] In 2006, *Volgoneft-113* was renamed *Kapitan Zimin* (*Капитан Зимин*), after Nikolai Gavrilovich Zimin, a senior manager of Volgotanker. In 2019, *Volgoneft-165* became *Navidzher-1* (*Навиджер-1*). In 2021, *Volgoneft-146* was renamed *Kapitan Kolesnikov* (*Капитан Колесников*), after Nikolay Fedorovich Kolesnikov, a senior Volgotanker manager.[31] Also in 2021, *Volgoneft-138* became *Vladimir Pankov* (*Владимир Панков*).[32] In 2022, *Volgoneft-132* was renamed *Pyotr Vrangel* (*Пётр Врангель*).[33] [Pyotr Wrangel](/source/Pyotr_Wrangel) was a [White Army](/source/White_movement) general in the [Russian Civil War](/source/Russian_Civil_War). *Volgoneft-147* was renamed *Inlayn-147* (*Инлайн-147*) in 2009, but reverted to *Volgoneft-147* in 2013.[34]

In 2007, *Volgoneft-139* broke in two in a storm in the [Kerch Strait](/source/Kerch_Strait). Her bow sank, and both parts of the ship spilled oil into the sea, causing a major pollution incident.[35]

12 Project 550A tankers have been scrapped, starting with *Volgoneft-126* and *Volgoneft-137* in 2009. Many are currently out of service, and a small number have been converted into barges. About 30 remain in service as tankers.[3] In 2011, parts of *Kapitan Timofeev'*s hull and superstructure were re-used to build the tanker *Svatoy knyaz Vladimir* (*Святой князь Владимир*, meaning "[Holy Prince Vladimir](/source/Vladimir_the_Great)").[29]

## Project 630

Project 630 tankers were built between 1984 and 1996. Nine were built; all at the "Ivan Dimitrov" shipyard (later Ruse Shipyard) in Bulgaria. The first six were originally named in a continuous sequence *Volgoneft-166* to *Volgoneft-171*. The final three were completed without "*Volgoneft-*" names. Yard number 107 was launched in 1994 as *Astrakhan Siti* (*Астрахань Сити*, after the city of [Astrakhan](/source/Astrakhan)). Yard numbers 108 and 109 were launched in 1996 as *Yaroslav Gashek* (*Ярослав Гашек*, after the Czech writer [Jaroslav Hašek](/source/Jaroslav_Ha%C5%A1ek)); and *Kazan Siti* (*Казань Сити*, after the city of [Kazan](/source/Kazan)).[4]

Seven ships of Project 630 have been renamed. In 1993, *Volgoneft-171* was renamed *Samara City* (*Самара Сити*), after the city of [Samara](/source/Samara). In 1995, *Volgoneft-169* was renamed *Kapitan Permyakov* (*Капитан Пермяков*), after Vasily Ilyich Permyakov, a captain with Volgotanker.[36] In 1996, *Volgoneft-170* was renamed *Kapitan Shchemilkin* (*Капитан Щемилкин*).[4] In 1997, *Volgoneft-168* was renamed *Kapitan Pshenitsin* (*Капитан Пшеницин*), after Vladimir Ivanovich Pshenitsyn, a senior captain with Volgotanker.[37] Also in 1997, *Volgoneft-166* was renamed *Mekhanik Khachepuridze* (*Механик Хачепуридзе*), after SN Khachepuridze, who was a mechanic of *Volgoneft-259*. She was renamed again in 2021, as *Naviger-5* (*Навиджер-5*).[38]

*Volgoneft-167* has been renamed several times. She became *Walrus* in 1997; *Pretty Falcon* in 1998; *Gurin* (*Гурин*) in 2003; and *Poseidon* (*Посейдон*) in 2007. In 2011 she was renamed *Geroy Rossii Pyatnitskikh* (*Герой России Пятницких*), after Lieutenant-Colonel [Sergey Ivanovich Pyatnitskikh](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%8F%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%85%2C_%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87). He was killed in action in 1995 in the [First Chechen War](/source/First_Chechen_War), and was posthumously made a [Hero of the Russian Federation](/source/Hero_of_the_Russian_Federation). In 2013 the ship was renamed again, as *Nordvik* (*Нордвик*).[39]

As of 2024, all nine ships of Project 630 remain in service.[4]
