The Krasnoye Sormovo Shipyard (part of USC) in Nizhny Novgorod is undergoing a major replacement of the slipway's track system, the corporation reports.
As part of the upgrade of the transborder tracks, 27 tracks are being replaced, each containing four rails. The work is being carried out both on land and underwater, where wooden sleepers, rails and their fasteners are being replaced. The repair is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025.
Krasnoye Sormovo is one of the few shipbuilding enterprises in Russia that uses the transverse launching of ships. This is the first major overhaul of the track since the mid-20th century. In 2024, the plant became the first project of the USC investment program, which involves increasing production to 20 dry cargo ships per year.
A slipway is a special structure used for launching and lifting ships, which includes both above-water and underwater parts.
