The project RST27 is designed by Marine Engineering Bureau. Contours of the vessel of the new project are the product of research conducted in 2010, were created using methods of computational fluid mechanics (CFD modeling) and model has been tested in the basin of Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute named after Acad. Krylov.

In comparison with other projects of the Bureau tanker RST27 has enhanced river function, increased by 700 tons deadweight in the river (when compared to the “Armada”).
