Nuclear fleet base in unfavorable technical conditions
The situation is somewhat similar to the one that gave rise to a conflict between the crews of nuclear icebreakers, which escalated into a two-hour warning strike. It is based on complete disregard for the safety of nuclear—powered ships. And it's not just about them: there are technological support vessels nearby at the berths of the RTP Atomflot, where nuclear fuel waste is stored. These are the Lepse floating base and the Volodarsky steamship, which cause legitimate concerns due to their age and technical condition.
In response to the sailors' serious concerns about this issue, the Ministry informed the crew of the Rossiya nuclear-powered vessel earlier this year that the use of the Lepse floating technical base for its intended purpose had been discontinued and it had been "transferred to a sheltered parking lot in the waters of the RTP Atomflot."
But this, to put it mildly, does not correspond to reality, as the author of this material had the opportunity to verify, since he saw the Lepse passing along the stern of the Rossiya outside the specified location. If the floating base was hidden, it was from prying eyes from the shore, but not from the bay.
It is well known what this can lead to. After all, there was already a case when a fishing trawler was "moored" to the nuclear-powered ship, seemingly lost in the fog.
By the way, the vessels of the Ministry of Fisheries do not use pilotage services in the Kola Bay. The Murmansk Shipping Company raised the issue of mandatory pilotage of all vessels except military ones, but it was not possible to resolve it either on the spot or in the relevant ministries. The penny savings took over at the expense of security. Regardless of anything, fishermen "cut off the noses" even of nuclear icebreakers. And this is in conditions of poor visibility, frequent fogs, polar nights and strong tidal currents.
The UDS system, which has been unsuccessfully sought by the shipping company's skippers for a long time, would be able to control many critical situations and, if not prevent them, at least warn in a timely manner about the dangerous unfolding of events.
In the meantime, we have to admit that the industry's only nuclear fleet base is in extremely cramped and unfavorable conditions. In the absence of reliable radar monitoring of vessel traffic in the Kola Bay, their safety is highly questionable. To the credit of the sailors, the rare incidents of collision here have apparently given rise to a complacent mood at the top and hope for "maybe". But as you know, you don't need much for self-propelled vehicles. One such serious incident will be enough to deal with its consequences for many decades. Therefore, the Murmansk Shipping Company hopes that the Ministry of Maritime Transport will finally pay real priority attention to their needs.
