The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) is currently working on 108 civilian vessels, including 40 "river-sea" class cargo ships and 20 passenger ships of various classes. This was reported to "Pervyi Technicheskiy" by the USC press service.
Thus, in Shlisselburg, at the Nevsky Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Plant of USC, two research vessels are currently being built for the All-Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO). At the Admiralty Shipyards of USC, the research and expedition vessel "Ivan Frolov" is being built 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, this year USC can put into operation up to 40 ships.
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 built orders directly depends on the needs of customers.
