The Project NE-020.2 vessel is designed to carry 36 passengers, 20-foot containers (including reefers), general and bulk cargo (including hazardous goods) between the ports of Kamchatka, the Commander Islands, and the Northern Kurils.

Vessel type: a steel single-deck cargo-passenger ship with two cargo holds. It features an aft-located superstructure and engine room, with cargo holds and a cargo deck located forward. The hull is designed with a double bottom and double sides in the cargo hold area, a forecastle, and an extended poop deck. Power is provided by two main engines driving fixed-pitch propellers (FPP) via reverse-reduction gears. The vessel is equipped with a cargo crane for handling operations on undeveloped shores.

The lead vessel, "Anatoly Cherneev," was completed and launched in August 2021. Following sea trials, the vessel will be dispatched to the Kamchatka Territory.
