The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) is currently working on 108 civilian vessels, including 40 river-sea cargo vessels and 20 passenger vessels of various classes. This was reported to "Perviy Technicheskiy" by the USC press service.
Thus, at the Nevsky Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Plant of USC in Shlisselburg, two research vessels are currently being built for the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO). The USC's Admiralty Shipyards are building the research and expedition vessel "Ivan Frolov" for the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI).
The corporation is also building emergency rescue vessels — two at the USC "Yantar" plant in Kaliningrad and one at the Amur Shipbuilding Plant of USC in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
At the Baltic Shipyard of USC, the construction of nuclear icebreakers of Project 22220 "Chukotka" and "Leningrad" continues, as well as the multifunctional vessel for nuclear technological service "Vladimir Vorobyov", designed for refueling icebreaker reactors.
We are preparing to lay down the next one — "Stalingrad". This will be the seventh nuclear icebreaker of this project. In total, USC may put into operation up to 40 ships this year.
The press service added that in the next 5 years, USC plans to significantly increase the volume and pace of ship construction, focusing on serial construction. The number of completed orders directly depends on the needs of customers.
