Project 03830: A new high-speed hydrofoil passenger vessel, part of the Alfa line  (Alfa-120). Class & Detailed Design.

In 2018, Zelenodolsk Shipyard (ZSZ named after A.M. Gorky) and Sea Tech, guided by an analysis of operator requirements, extensive research experience, and modern technology, developed a new set of requirements (Technical Specifications) for a modern version of a passenger hydrofoil.

Throughout the design process, vessel dimensions, proportions, hull lines, layout, engines, and equipment were repeatedly revised to achieve optimal results in terms of transport efficiency, comfort, and import substitution. The project was developed in close collaboration with the customer, Severrechflot.

In early marketing materials by the Shipyard and the Customer, the project was introduced under the commercial name "Meteor-2020," which has since become its recognized name. However, the vessel is an original engineering development and is not positioned as a continuation of the classic Project 342 series (342E, 342U).

The technical design was approved by the RRR (RKO) at the beginning of 2021. This page contains demo materials of the classification project stage.

The Class Design received approval from the RRR (RKO) in early 2021.

This page features design visualizations from the Class Design stage.
