The Sorum class, Soviet designation Project 745, is a series of seagoing tugs built for the Soviet Navy and KGB Border Troops, and later operated by the Russian Navy and FSB Border Service.[3]

These vessels perform the standard missions of a seagoing tugboat with other missions such as protecting and patrolling Russian maritime borders, enforcing navigational rules and law enforcement, search and rescue, and fisheries protection.

Design

[edit]
Project 745 seagoing tug
The oceangoing tugs are auxiliary vessels for the Soviet Navy, later the Russian Navy.[4][1]
Project 745P patrol ship
The border patrol ships are modified versions of the original Project 745. They are armed with two 30 mm AK-230M or AK-306[c] gun mounts giving them the ability to fire on surface, air and ground targets, and are equipped with the Kolonka-1 fire-control system to control these weapons.[5][1]
Project 07452 experimental vessel
The reconnaissance vessel is a version of the original Project 745, which is a testbed for SIGINT and hydroacoustic equipment.[1]
Project 745MB seagoing tug
The oceangoing tug is a modernized version of the original Project 745. It is equipped with two main diesel gensets (2 × 1,500 kW), three auxiliary diesel gensets (2 × 200 kW + 1 × 100 kW), an asynchronous propulsion motor (1 × 2,720 PS or 2,680 shp) and a bow thruster.[6][2][1]
Project 745MBS rescue tug
The rescue tug is a SAR version of the modernized Project 745MB, which is equipped with a switched reluctance propulsion motor instead of an asynchronous one.[2][1]

Externally, the Projects 745MB and 745MBS tugs can be distinguished from the original Project 745 tugs by twin funnels instead of one.

History

[edit]

A Project 745P border patrol ship was involved in an incident involving Greenpeace vessel where the Russian ship fired warning shots, and later seized a Greenpeace vessel after they attempted to board an oil rig in the Arctic in 2013.[7]

Another Project 745P border patrol ship rammed a Ukrainian tug in the Kerch Strait on November 25, 2018.[8]
