Shipbuilders at the Amur Shipbuilding Plant, located in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, have begun assembling the Amurets launching pontoon dock, Project 65911.
The keel-laying ceremony of the "Amurets" took place in June 2023. By January, the shipbuilders had erected 12 bottom and 12 side sections of the first and second blocks of the pontoon dock. They are also preparing a slipway for the third and fourth blocks.
The construction is being carried out as part of the USC dock program. The launching pontoon dock is used to transfer an order from the workshop to the outfitting pier.
Currently, the Amur Shipbuilding Plant is capable of building ships with a launching weight of up to 10 thousand tons, as well as a length of up to 150 m and a width of up to 20 m. It is expected that the new equipment will expand the company's production capacity.
It was previously reported that promising Project 22350 ships with hypersonic Zircon missiles will begin to be built at shipyards in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
