Krilo ferry company , also called Kapetan Luka, is one of the largest fast ferry / catamaran operators in Croatia. The company’s  main port is Split port , from where it has catamaran lines to the hot spots on Croatian islands. The most popular routes from Krilo are Split to Hvar  and Dubrovnik to Hvar . In addition to scheduled fast ferries, Krilo also offers the possibility of chartering one of the fast ferries for special events.

The Krilo catamarans do not have a unified design , some are white while some are in darker color, but all of them have either   KRILO JET or www.krilo.hr clearly painted on the sites of the vessel. Therefore, you shouldn’t have a problem identifying the catamarans.

Krilo – Kapetan Luka FAQs

Krilo has sale points in each port, some are there own, others are travel agencies located at or near the port. Alternatively you can easily buy the ticket online .

We do recommend to print the tickets and have them with you when boarding. However, if you have tickets on your phone, showing the QR code / PDF of the tickets when boarding should be fine as well.

Krilo fast ferries have plenty of space to store the luggage, and the company is usually pretty flexible with it. You’re allowed to bring one bag up to 20kg in weight, but passengers usually didn’t have problems if they brought heavier bags on board.

Yes you can, but you will have to buy a ticket for yourself and bicycle online upfront as there are only a few places for bicycles on each departure.

Yes you can if you follow Krilo’s rules which are the following: Muzzle is needed for all animals. PETS can only be transported if they do not present danger or disturbance to passengers or boat. Owners take the risk of travel and are responsible for any damages. Dogs need to have a muzzle (except for a blind person’s guide dog) and lead on the apron, cats in boxes and birds in the cage. Dogs and cats must have proper vaccination documents. On the high speed lines, small pets are allowed in the catamaran salon. Small pets are transported exclusively in the bag for carriage and transport of pets (transporter soft bag) – maximum dimensions 45 x 35 x 25 cm. The bottom of the bag must be watertight. The total weight of the bag with a pet should not exceed 8 kg. The bag must be kept under the seat or in the wrist during the entire journey. One passenger must have only one bag with a pet. Large pets are only allowed if the technical conditions are met on board (special boxes). If you are in doubt regarding bringing a pet, you should contact Krilo by mail .

Yes Krilo is the name of a city, and the Krilo ferry company is from that city.

No, except for the line Split – Hvar – Korcula all lines operate only in the summer season, usually from the beginning of April till the end of October.

Can we take the 10 am from split to korcula, leave our bags somewhere safe at korcula port, spend four hours on korcula then take the 16.30 onto dubrovnik? do we have to buy two separate tickets or can we get one allowing for break of journey?

the 10 am departure that you’re referring to is the catamaran line from Split to Korcula, but it doesn’t continue to Dubrovnik. Also, there is no morning departure for this line until June. There are also two more catamaran lines from Split to Dubrovnik that stop in Korcula. They all start operating during April or May with morning departures from Split at 7:30 and 7:40 am and afternoon departures from Dubrovnik at 4:00 and 4:30 pm. Regarding the tickets, you always buy a ticket for a single journey, i.e. you buy two separate tickets, one for Split – Korcula, the other for Korcula – Dubrovnik. In the end, we suggest you check directly with the port in Korcula whether they have some kind of luggage storage service they provide.

Best regards, FerryCroatia Team

If I have a bad and also a backpack is that allright?

Sorry, I mean if I have a bag and a backpack is that all right?

bringing a bag and a backpack is fine and shouldn’t be a problem when boarding the catamaran.

Best regards, Maja, GBB Team

Is ferry from Dubrovik to Makarska at 4 pm in operation? I am interested in the trip on 13.07. I cannot buy tickets on-line. Can I buy it directly in port? One person, no car. I will be grateful for the info 🙂 best greetings Ania

Tickets for a catamaran from Dubrovnik to Makarska are currently not available on our site. But you can book tickets directly on the website of Krilo company, or buy them directly in the port.

Hello Thomas,

Ticket changes and refunds are solved on an individual level. It is possible to get a refund / change the ticket, but additional fees may apply. We recommend contacting the carrier directly in this case, the contact number should be visible on your ticket.

Hi does the catamaran Kapetan Luka arrive to Hvar old town from Split? or there are other possible stop on the island of Hvar?

The ticket can be showed as e-ticket on my phone? i can’t print it.

Hello Marius,

Krilo Kapetan Luka catamarans only stop at one port on the island, and that is in Hvar town. You can show your ticket on your phone, you don’t have to print it.

Hello, from which dock in Split the ship to Dubrovnik departs?

the catamaran Split – Dubrovnik departs from St. Peter pier (Gat Sv Petra). At the beginning of the pier is Krilo – Kapetan Luka ticket stand.

Hello, does the catamaran arrive to Hvar from Pomena ( Korcula ) then from Hvar to Vis, Vis to Milna and Milna to Split. Thank you.

if referring to a catamaran line Pomena (Mljet) – Split operated by Krilo, then the catamaran stops at the following islands and ports along the way: – Korcula (Old Town) – Hvar Town (Hvar island) – Milna (Brac island) So, Pomena port is located on Mljet island, and the line does not travel to Vis island, unfortunately. Hope this is helpful.

We are going to be using the ferry service in August to travel from Dubrovnik – Korcula, Korcula – Hvar, Hvar – Brac and Brac – Split, stopping at least one night in each location. Please could you tell me the port names that each stop arrives at and the location on the islands, this will help in booking accommodation. Thank you in advance

no problem! So, here is the list of ports where you stop, from Dubrovnik to Split: 1. In Dubrovnik, the port is called Gruž and it is located about 3 km NW of Dubrovnik City Walls. 2. On Korcula island, the port is also called Korčula, it is located literally in Korčula Old Town. 3. On Hvar island, the port is also called Hvar, located in Hvar Old Town. 4. On Brac island, the port is called Bol, located in Bol (where the famous Zlatni Rat or Golden Horn beach is) 5. In Split, you arrive at the main port, right next to Old Town.

Best, Ferry Croatia Team

Hello, Say me please, where is the departure point by Krilo in Zadar: old town port or Gazenica port?

the departing point for Krilo line Zadar – Silba – Ilovik – Mali Lošinj – Susak – Unije – Pula is located across the Old Town, on Barkajol pier, right next to the marina. You can access the pier from Obala kneza Trpimira street.

Best, FerryCroatia Team

Just confirming this is still accurate: the catamaran from Zadar to Mali Losinj departs from the old port next to the marina, NOT the main ferry terminal south of town?

Hi Shannon,

yes. that is correct.

Thank you Maja

Can you confirm this is still correct. The Tourist info told us it was in the old town side.

according to our information, it departs from the pier on Obala kneza Trpimira. However, I suggest you double-check that, if the Tourist Info in Zadar gave you different information, it might be that there were some changes recently.

Could you please let me know from where the ferry left?

Hello, I’m trying to book a trip for a large group (12+) in May. Our Plane will arrive in Dubrovnik on May 17th Tuesday at 10:35 AM and I was wondering what would be the best option for us if we wanted to get to HVAR with out finding a private ferry

Hello Juan,

Unfortunately, the ferry route Dubrovnik to Hvar is not active before June. In case something changes in the schedule, we will update our page immediately.

Hello Maja,

Does the ferry go from Split to Mali Losinj in the beginning of June?

Thank you for the reply,

unfortunately, there is no ferry from Split to Mali Losinj.

Hi. Is it too early to buy a ticket for July 2022? Im trying but it keeps saying “error.” I just want to make sure I can get from Dubrovnik to Korcula. Im freaking out because I can’t even find busses that are even running from Zadar to Dubrovnik because of Covid. Im going to ferry out to Korcula from Dubrovnik then to Split. I already booked my rooms for both places and I have no idea how Im getting there!

Hello Anamarija,

Yes, you can buy tickets immediately, for both the bus and ferry route you’re looking for. For bus, just use the search form on our platform GetByBus . Ferry tickets from Korcula to Dubrovnik can be bought on our other platform called GetByFerry, here .

Hi, Is there a ferry from Hvar to Korcula that I can take a bicycle on in July?

Yes, there is, but you will have to buy a ticket for yourself and bicycle online upfront as there are only a few places for bicycles on each departure.

I have 2 questions: 1) My Kid is 2.5 years old, do i need to buy ticket for him? 2) Split-Bol, where is the location or stop of Catamaran in Split, how far it is from old town and how soon we have to reach to the catamaran before the departure?

1) Usually, children aged 0-3 travel for free, but I suggest you double-check that information with the company. 2) The catamaran departs from the main city port, the pier is located at the beginning of the port, you will see Krilo – Kapetan Luka stand. It is recommended to arrive about 30 minutes before the departure.

I booked a ticket from Dubrovnik to Split for May first (tomorrow ) but I réceived à ticket for today ! It’s the wrong date, can I change it and go tomorrow first May, my reference number : BW349425

Hi Christian,

for any changes regarding your ticket, send an email to [email protected] , our customer support team will respond as soon as possible.

Best, Ferry Croatia team

Hi I booked a ticket from Dubrovnik to split for tmrw May 5th at 4:30 pm but where is the port? What time should I arrive the port by?

Thanks, Shan

the ferry departs from Gruž port in Dubrovnik, it is located about 3 km from the city walls. Anyway, it is recommended to arrive about 30 minutes before the departure.

Hi, We will be traveling for several weeks and will most likely have more than 1 bag for 1 of us. Can we pay to bring on an extra bag? Please advise. Thank you!

officially, you’re allowed to bring one bag up to 20kg in weight. However, passengers usually don’t have problems if they bring heavier bags on board. The company is pretty flexible regarding this and it all largely depends on the space left in the catamaran.

Where exactly is Kapetan Luka Ferry terminal located in Dubrovnik? I am going to Korcula and have 2hrs to make my connection from the airport. This is a fairly tight timeline considering that a flight might be a bit late. Do you know if airport shuttle stops close to the ferry terminal?

Hi Michael,

Krilo – Kapetan Luka ferry terminal is located in Gruž Port, the main port in Dubrovnik. Yes, the shuttle bus stops basically in the port, so you won’t have problems finding a terminal on foot. The ride from the airport to the port is around 30 minutes, so you should get there on time.

Best Ferry Croatia Team

What types of food or beverage can I buy on Krilo Kapetan Luka (traveling Dubrovnik to Split on 30 May 2022)? Should I bring food with me onto the ferry?

on the catamaran, you will find drinks and snacks only, so bringing your own food might be a better option.

Hello Maja, There are two selections possible at the same time from split to rogac. They differ in price. What is the difference?

if you were looking for departures by using our search form on the homepage, you’re probably looking at the departures of two different carriers. If that is not the case, I suggest you link us to the exact web address where you found these departures, so that we can check.

Hello, I wanted to check if the ferries/catamarans are running on schedule since covid? I will of course check with the individual carrier but broadly speaking? You’ve said above that only drinks and snacks are available on board – is there a bar or something to pass the time? Our journey is 3 hours. And last question, can we sit outside on board, or inside only?

so far, everything is back to normal. All the ferries and catamarans are operating according to the official schedules. Yes, there is a small bar on ferries which serves drinks and some snacks. And yes, ferries have outdoor seats, but catamarans usually don’t have much space outside but you can always go outside and find some spot if there’s no big crowd.

Hi there, we will be travelling from Hvar to Dubrovnik in mid August. Are there reduced ferry prices for my 7 year old? Also whereabouts in Dubrovnik will the ferry arrive at?

Kind regards Teresa

if travelling with Krilo, there is only one ticket price, there are no discounts for children. In Dubrovnik, the ferry arrives in Dubrovnik port (Gruž port).

Hi On your website it says “The Children 3-12 ticket can only be purchased at physical points of sale”. I will be traveling with to kids from Split to Korcula in July. If I buy the tickets online it is 450kr for the three of us. Do we get a discount for children if we buy the tickets at a physical point of sale” Kr Dana

you can book your tickets online as the price is the same in both cases. Just pick the desired date and departure.

I bought a ticket that was supposed to connect Bol (Brac) to Dubrovnik. I got an e-mail less than 48h before departure that this line was cancelled, which forced me to buy another ticket, from Milna (Brac) to Dubrovnik. Of course, I had to catch a taxi between Bol and Milna on the day of the trip, and I’m seeking compensation for this, as it is an additional expense caused by Krilo. We are not talking about €5 or 30kn. I think it’s very poor customer service to cancel a line less than 2 days before the event itself and expect that ‘everything will be fine’ by just issuing a refund.

Regards, Nuno

Hello Nuno,

We’re sorry you had to go through all that hassle. We agree that last-minute cancellations are not a good practice. The best you can do is contact the carrier’s customer support, and see if there’s anything that can be done on their side.

Hi I am Leaving Korcula to Dubrovnik with my family . We each have a luggage and carry on luggage . Is that ok to bring on board

Hello Elena,

Yes, you can bring your luggage on board.

Hi, I’m taking the ferry to Korcula tomorrow at 10. What time to we need to board the boat?

it is advisable to arrive at the ferry port at least 30 minutes before the departure. That is also the time when boarding starts.

I am catching the 10:10 ferry from Korcula to Dubrovnik tomorrow. Which port does the ferry leave from? I believe there is a wharf on the north side of the town and also one on the south side closer to the bus station. Thanks for your help 🙂

the Krilo catamaran from Korcula to Dubrovnik departs from the terminal in Korcula which is located northwest of car ferry port Domince (if looking at the map). So, not the one overlooking Badija island, but the one where the church of St. Mark is located.

Hello! I´ll be going from Split to Dubrovnik on September 6. When should I buy the tickets? Also, I saw there are a few stops before arriving to Dubrovnik, we just stay in the ferry right? Thank you!

Hello Tatiana,

We recommend buying the ticket as soon as possible, as September is still considered high season in Croatia. And yes, there are a few stops on your way to Dubrovnik, but you just stay on the ferry (it won’t be stopping for too long).

Hello We have a ferry booked from zadar to pula July 17 but have not been sent where it leave from in zadar… is it in the old town or the other side? Thanks in advance

Hello Steph,

Catamaran Zadar – Pula departs from the northern ferry terminal (there are 2 in Zadar). The one in question is located near the Marina Tankerkomerc, at the address Obala kneza Trpimira.

Hi there, we arrive at Zadar from Pula next week (arrive Zadar 11.45am). We need to connect to a ferry to Otok Iz at the Galženica ferry port. Please can you tell me how far between the different ferry terminals? Can you walk, or need taxi?

Thank you! Pepy

Hi Pepy, you would need to take a Taxi or an Uber.

Where is the larger baggage stored on board? Is it checked in separately or stored in the same area as passengers? (ie will I be able to access it during the trip?)

What is the check in time? There’s nothing on the website or the tickets unfortunately.

there are shelf racks for luggage, on most ferries they are at the rear end. If the departure if full the shelf racks might also be and people then leave luggage on the floor around the rack, but nevertheless you should be able to access your luggage during the trip (Its not in a locked space). I would recommend you to be at the peer at least 15-20 minutes before the scheduled departure time, if you travel from Split i would even say 30 minutes before, as it takes some time to locate the right ferry.

Hi, we are taking the 4pm ferry tomorrow from Dubrovnik to Spilt. Where does it leave from in Dubrovnik? Thanks!

Hi Marianne,

the ferry leaves from Gruž port (main port in Dubrovnik). The Krilo catamaran departs from exactly across the small cafe and a bus station.

Do I have to book in advance if I want to go from Split to Hvar on the first boat of the day (07:30am)? If so, how long in advance do you recommend?

generally, it is not necessary to book ferries in advance, only during the peak season in the summer to secure a place on the ferry. If you want to book the tickets in advance, you can do it the day or two before the departure.

How do we check for cancellations due to weather?

most ferry companies announce such information on their official websites (in the case of Krilo – on their Facebook page), so it is good to check it during the day of the departure (or even earlier).

is there a left luggage possibility if we arrive at the Dubrovnik Ferry port in the morning but only leave at 4pm?

according to our information, the luggage storage in Dubrovnik port is temporarily closed. However, we suggest you contact the port to double-check this information.

Best, Ferry Croatia

I am looking to use a car ferry to go from Orebic to Korcula, then form Vela Luka to Hvar, and on to Split. How can I search the schedule and cost online? Thanks.

for car ferry tickets, you will need to visit the carrier’s official website. There you can also see the schedule for the desired route. However, in the case of Krilo, there are no car ferries, only catamarans that operate on their routes.

We are staying in Dubrovnik this April and will be travelling on to Split. Is there a ferry or catamaran where we can visit an island on the way and leave our luggage on the boat? Also I have read that some boats you have to stay inside. Which type of boat can you go outside? Thanks

Hi Rebecca,

yes, there are catamarans connecting Split and Dubrovnik that stop on several islands along the way. You can take a look at the route Dubrovnik – Split for more details.

Regarding the luggage, it is not convenient to leave your luggage on the boat because the catamarans continue their journey to the next destination immediately, they do not wait on the islands. Anyway, it might be something you want to discuss with the carrier directly.

When it comes to staying inside, yes, on catamarans you are advised to stay inside. Firstly because there is not much outside space and it is mostly intended for the crew. Secondly, catamarans are faster boats so it is much safer to stay inside.

Is there a luggage storage area on the boat? How secure is my luggage if I move around in the boat or go up to the deck? Thank you.

on Krilo boats you can store your luggage in a designated space for luggage, so you can move around the boat freely.

Hello, I am travelling with Kapetan Luka from Split to Korcula, and from Hvar to Split. Am I correct in thinking that the Korcula stop is in Korcula Town, and in Hvar it is Hvar town?

Also, I am looking to go from Korcula town to Hvar town. Is this Kapetan Luka again, or does Jadrolinija do this as well?

yes, if travelling with that carrier, the stop in Korcula refers to Korcula town and the stop in Hvar refers to Hvar town. Also, the fast boat of the same carrier connects Korcula town and Hvar town on 2 of his routes. If you have any additional questions, let us know! Have a nice day!

Hello, I’m wondering if there is somewhere to park our rental car at the port while we take the ferry out to Hvar for a night? We are leaving from the Kapetan Luka port in Split next week. Thanks!

First of all, leaving your car in the Old Town (the port is 2-3 minutes from the old Town) is something we would not recommend because it can be very pricey. However, yes, there are several parking lots around where you can leave your car. The closest one is at the beginning of Riva. there are also a few on Bacvice beach, from where you would need to take a short walk (up to 5 minutes).

Hope this helps!

Hi, we’re on the evening ferry 15 May Split Hvar at 5.30pm with KL. Are there storage lockers at the port?p near where ship will dock? Which pier do we go to? Can see an image with a car ferry on map but not KL catamarans? Thanks

Hi Michelle,

the boarding pier for KL is the first pier when descending towards the ferry port. The dock is called Gat Sv Petra (St Peter pier). For luggage storage, you can ask at the ticket booth whether they provide such a service, but you can always use the luggage storage at the train and bus stations 2 minutes away.

Hi, we are looking to travel with family in august from split to Brac the. 3 days later Brac to Hvar then 4 days later Hvar to split.. some of the family can get pretty seasick… do any of these routes have ferry’s or catamarans with outdoor seating? If so which companies on each route please… thank you in advance

the general rule is that car ferries has outdoor seating, fast ferries / catamarans, do not. From Split to Supertar on Brac, you have a car ferry, from Brac island to Hvar, there is only catamaran, from Hvar back to Split, you can take care ferry from Stari Grad to Split.

Note: The water is normally quite calm during summer months, so to me traveling with the Catamaran, feels like a bus trip.

hi, how early to we need to be at the port for the KL ferries? thanks!

in high season it is good to be at the port cca 30 minutes before the departure. This way you can aim for the best seats in the catamaran 🙂

We have tickets on the 4pm Krilo catamaran to Korcula on October 1st. We shall be taking the express bus from the airport to Dubrovnik. Please could you tell me where the bus station in Dubrovnik is in relation to where the catamaran leaves from, please? Many thanks, Liz

luckily, the bus station in Dubrovnik is only about 5 minutes by foot from the ferry port. Just follow the road along the sea (Northwest direction), and you will notice it.

Hi ,I have a ticket from zadar to pula, 9/8/2023 16.00hs, I’m in the old town, from where your ferry leaves from?

Hi Fernando,

the ferry for Pula departs from a pier on Obala Kneza Trpimira (Knez Trpimir’s coast). It is a long pier located right across the old town. Try to enter these coordinates in Gmaps for help: 44.11922168543562, 15.22483369008532

Hello, we will be taking the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split in September. We will be taking the bus from Pile gate to the ferry port. Can you tell me which bus stop is closest to the ferry? Thank you, Allegra

the bus passes along the ferry port, so it is easy to spot it from the bus. A good thing is also to ask the driver to notify you when it’s time to get off.

By catamaran through the Croatian archipelago

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Julia Rieß , Images by Gondan Shipbuilders

Two recently built high-speed ferries built by Spanish shipyard Gondan Astilleros for cruise and ferry operator Krilo Kapetan Luka are equipped with twin mtu -brand 16V 4000 M63L units.

Many mtu engines are in service in the Adriatic, bringing ferry passengers swiftly and safely to their destination. Two recently built high-speed ferries built by Spanish shipyard Gondan Astilleros for cruise and ferry operator Krilo Kapetan Luka were equipped with twin mtu -brand 16V 4000 M63L units.  

Croatia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Each year, more and more holidaymakers flock to the Balkan republic to enjoy its idyllic beaches and 1000 islands and islets. Particularly popular is the city of Dubrovnik – 'Pearl of the 'Adriatic' – whose old center is a UNESCO world heritage site. Gliding through pristine waters and past the varying landscapes of Croatia's archipelago, the Krilo Star and Krilo Lux catamarans ply the route between the cities of Dubrovnic and Split. Thanks to their special design and the powerful mtu engines that propel them, the catamarans cover the distance, including stops, in around four-and-a-half hours.  

The Krilo Star and Krilo Lux catamarans are made from non-corrosive glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and are the fastest catamarans in this class ever to be built from GFRP in Spain. The innovative wave-piercing hull design facilitates smooth, comfortable, and easily maneuverable travel.  Even when travelling at its top speed of 34.5 knots (almost 64 km/h), passengers hardly even notice the sea swell and sea-sickness on board is hardly an issue. The Croatian ferry company Krilo Kapetan Luka is a loyal mtu customer and most vessels in its fleet are powered by mtu engines. World-renowned mtu marine propulsion combines low weight and compact design with high-performance and outstanding reliability, and also boasts an extremely long service life –   crucial characteristics for passenger ships and ferries. Each of the 16-cylinder Series 4000 units installed in the Krilo Star and Krilo Lux delivers 2,240 kW.  

The Krilo Star, added to ferry operator Krilo Kapetan Luka's fleet in 2019, is 9 m wide, 32 m long, and offers space for some 303 passengers. As it plys the waters between Dubrovnik and Split, it stops off at the islands of Mljet, Korčula und Brač. The Krilo Lux went into service in 2020. 36 m in length and 10.5 m in width, it is a larger vessel than the Krilo Star and can carry up to 440 passengers. It likewise shuttles between Dubrovnik and Split, making stops at the islands of Hvar, Korčula und Mljet.

Moskva-Class Cruisers

Separate design teams often attempt to meet a set of ship specifications with completely different, although equally valid, strategies. To fulfill the requirements issued in April 2169 for the successor (NX-223) to the Daedalus class, which was introduced at the end of the Romulan War, Prosser & Ankopitch proposed a ship with an extremely large, spherical command hull attached to a nearly vestigial engineering hull. The proposal from the Mikoyan-Tupolev-Dassault Bureau used a long narrow command hull with a minimal frontal silhouette counterbalanced by an equally long engineering hull.

The engineers at Tezuka-Republic decided that the division of ship's functions between a command/crew hull and an engineering hull was arbitrary and unnecessarily restricted design options. Therefore, rather than gathering all the specified facilities in a single hull, their design TR-223A spread them across two hulls, as in Daedalus , and segregated the SSWR-IV-C warp core to a "bustle" at the extreme aft end of the secondary hull. This bustle could be separated easily and quickly from the rest of the engineering hull in the event of a warp core breach. The now-unpowered warp nacelles would then be shed. In this way, the demands of safety would be met without warp dynamics being degraded either by an excessively large frontal silhouette or by longitudinal warp field imbalance.

Although the Ship Specifications Review Board praised Tezuka-Republic for its creative solution to the problem of admittedly contradictory requirements for extreme safety and improved warp performance, they were forced to disqualify design TR-223A for not precisely meeting contract specifications. Therefore, in October 2171, construction contract NX-223 for Starfleet's new cruiser was awarded to Prosser & Ankopitch for what would become the Wasp class .

However, almost no one was happy with the new Wasp ships. Even before the contract was awarded, voices within Starfleet and within industry had strongly criticized the specifications of April 2169. These critics charged that they would lead to a mediocre, albeit safe, fighting ship. Two separate classes were needed, not a single class that was neither a proper explorer nor a proper warship. When Wasp was finally launched in 2173, her performance during precommisioning trials clearly showed that the critics had been correct. Although the performance problems were related in part to the continuing unavailability of the more powerful Tezuka-Republic Hiryu ("Flying Dragon") mark III warp nacelles, Wasp was obviously not the ship Starfleet had hoped for.

In a second attempt to obtain a reliable and capable warship, new specifications (NX-374) were issued in September 2175, little more than a year after USS  Wasp had entered service. Adding to this sense of urgency were intelligence reports suggesting that the Romulans had either developed or otherwise acquired matter/antimatter (M/AM) reactors. This time the specifications put less emphasis upon safety. The original requirement for completely separate command and engineering hulls was eliminated; instead, any hull configuration was allowed as long as the warp core could be quickly separated from the rest of the ship. Furthermore, requirements for speed, acceleration, and maneuverability both under impulse power and under warp power were increased, as were performance levels for target acquisition, tracking, and servicing.

These new specifications were a clear, albeit belated, admission that the critics had been correct all along: one class could not be expected to serve as both an explorer and a main battleship. In fact, starship technology was not considered sufficiently mature for a single ship to adequately fulfill both mission profiles until 2245, when the Constitution -class heavy cruiser was launched. (The controversy continues even today in the wake of the problems of the Galaxy -class explorer.)

Luckily, the designers and engineers at Tezuka-Republic had not been idle since their disappointing loss of the Wasp contract in 2171. Instead, they had spent their time refining design TR-223A so that their new entry (TR-374A) was markedly superior to what had been submitted 5 years earlier. In particular, the new SSWR-V warp reactor allowed the bustle to be made smaller, lighter, and even more easily separable. Therefore, it was hardly surprising when in November 2176 Tezuka-Republic was awarded the production contract over designs from Shimata-Dominquez, Prosser & Ankopitch, Mikoyan-Tupolev Dassault, Monarch R&U, and Thornycroft/Ebisu for what was to become the Moskva class.

However, engineering prowess may not have been the only factor in Tezuka-Republic's winning of the contract. There were accusations that the delay in delivery of the Hiryu warp engines was an attempt by Tezuka-Republic to prevent Wasp from reaching her designed performance levels. While no conclusive incriminating evidence has come to light, the delivery of the long-awaited engines shortly before the scheduled launch of Moskva in December 2177 is certainly suspicious. Tezuka-Republic maintains that if their submission of 2169 had been selected, its performance would also have not have met design specifications without the Hiryu engines. However, critics charge that TR-223A was not as reliant as Wasp on the type of engine used. Furthermore, once the Wasp contract was awarded, and even after Wasp was launched, Tezuka-Republic certainly made no efforts to accelerate delivery of Hiryu.

These controversies were soon rendered moot as the new Moskva class was recognized as a significant advance in starship design. The most important new feature was Moskva's discoid primary hull. Earlier designs had chosen a spherical primary hull for reasons of economy. Simple geometric relationships dictate that a spherical hull has the smallest surface area for a given volume. Therefore, construction costs are lower and shields are more efficient. Furthermore, institutional inertia had led nearly all exploratory cruisers originating until that time from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the United States Astronautics Agency, the United Earth Space Probe Agency, and its successor organizations to have spherical hulls.

The designers of USS  Moskva employed a biconvex disc for several reasons. Their initial motive was to increase hull volume while minimizing both frontal and lateral silhouettes. A warship with large frontal and lateral silhouettes would be at a greater disadvantage in most tactical situations than would be a ship with an increased superior silhouette. However, the discoid hull allowed the traditional radial layout of command hulls to be retained.

More important than these tactical advantages were functional advantages. As was shown with the Wasp class, warp field geometry would have been awkward if a spherical hull with its relatively large frontal area had been used. The discoid hull was also found to channel warp field flow across its upper surface towards the bussard ram scoops of the warp nacelles. This channeling effect improved field efficiency at all power levels and speeds. As the understanding of warp field mechanics was refined, the trend towards saucer-shaped primary hulls would be intensified in later Starfleet vessels.

In most respects, the Moskva class continued design and engineering trends established in the Comet and Daedalus classes introduced at the end of the Romulan War. As in these classes, ship functions were clearly divided between a command/crew hull and an engineering/propulsion hull. The bridge was returned to its customary position atop the command hull and the shuttlecraft bay was again placed in the secondary hull. The fusion reactor was centered along the longitudinal axis of the ship, and impulse thrust ports exited immediately in front of the warp bustle detachment seam.

Weaponry was the then-standard mix of fusion-warhead missiles and lasers. New to this class was an early type of ultraphased pulse laser cannon, two of which were mounted in the chin of the primary hull. Although the on-target energy output of this new weapon approached that of early phasers, its power requirement was higher and its range was substantially less. However, subsequent refinements lead to steady improvement and, ultimately, to the development of true phasers in 2202. Although Moskva -class ships were the first to be fitted with phasers in 2204, lasers were still carried by the Moskva class and later classes until the 2220s. Finally, warp capability was supplied by the long-awaited Hiryu mark III drive units.

The first ship of the new class, USS  Moskva (NCC-374), entered service with Starfleet in April 2179. An additional 30 ships (NCC-375 to NCC-404) joined the fleet through 2183. Moskva -class ships gained immediate popularity with officers and crews. First, total laser firepower was increased some 75% over that in the preceding Wasp class. Second, because the ship's mass was more equally distributed along the longitudinal axis than in the Wasp class, Moskva was significantly more maneuverable at both sublight and warp speeds. Finally, the more warp-dynamic design allowed greater cruising and maximum speeds.

The Moskva class had an outstanding safety record. No ships were lost because of mechanical failures. However, an incident occurred aboard USS  Johannesburg in 2186 when a faulty nacelle flow monitor falsely indicated a runaway positive feedback power loop within the plasma flow governor. Believing that a catastrophic warp core explosion was imminent, Chief Engineer Roberta Bocharnikov ordered the warp nacelles and warp bustle to be separated. Although unnecessary, these maneuvers were successful in causing the separated warp core to initiate its automatic shut-down routine. The warp core, nacelles, and the rest of the ship were towed to Starbase 13, where they were successfully re-mated. Despite her supreme embarrassment, Bocharnikov oversaw the reassembly and relaunching of Johannesburg and retained her position as chief engineer.

Although most ships of the Moskva class had left front-line service by 2215, some continued to serve as auxiliaries and training vessels until the 2240s. After retirement from active duty, Moskva -class ships were used as testbeds for many emerging technologies owing to the similarities of their layouts to those of succeeding classes. USS  Moskva was the site of the first successful ship-to-surface transport of a Human being in 2206, and USS  Gato was the first ship to fire photon torpedoes in 2214. In addition, Taurus -class tugs, which entered service in 2182, and Sanford -class repair tenders, which entered service in 2185, were derived from the Moskva class and used the same primary hull and warp drive assembly.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.
