The Yevgenya class are small minesweepers built for inshore work. The hulls are constructed of glass-reinforced plastic. As built they have a standard displacement of 89.9 tonnes (88.5 long tons), 91 tonnes (90 long tons) normally , 93.0 tonnes (91.5 long tons) at full load and maximum 96 tonnes (94 long tons). The Yevegenya class measures 26.13 metres (85 ft 9 in) long overall, 23 metres (75 ft 6 in) between perpendiculars and 24.16 metres (79 ft 3 in) at the waterline with an extreme beam of 5.9 metres (19 ft 4 in) and 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in) at the waterline. The vessel has a normal draught of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) and 1.38 metres (4 ft 6 in) fully load.[2]
As built, the minesweepers are powered by two diesel engines turning two propeller shafts creating 630 kilowatts (850 bhp). This gives the ships a maximum speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) and a range of 300 nmi (560 km; 350 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). They carry 91 tonnes (90 long tons) of diesel fuel.[2]
The vessels have twin-mounted 14.5 mm (0.57 in) machine guns. They are equipped with MT-34, AT-2, SEMT-3, Neva and GKT-3 sweeps. The minesweepers mount MG-7 sonar. They have a complement of 10.[2]
