Unique ships will be built in the Far East
The first tanker weighing 30 tons will be built at the Zvezda shipyard in the Far East. They plan to release it in 000. A reinforced ice class vessel will be able to transport more than 2020 tons of oil products, and operate on liquefied gas (this means an almost complete absence of emissions into the atmosphere).
On September 11, President Vladimir Putin arrived at the shipyard. He took part in the ceremony of starting the construction of a new tanker, which will be called "St. Petersburg", and screwed the plate to his hull.
Putin noted that this will be a unique enterprise. There is no other dry dock with a length of 500 meters in Russia, and in the world such can be counted on one hand. Medium and large civil vessels will be built here. According to the head of state, this is not even a Far Eastern project, but a nationwide one. He talked to the workers, promising that their social problems will be solved, housing, kindergartens, schools, etc. will be built.
Ice-class vessels to be built on the Zvezda will have to work in the harsh conditions of the Arctic, where cold gale winds blow and there are often collisions with icebergs. All this is a great test for the ship and for its crew. Therefore, product quality should be on top. This is facilitated by the equipment of the enterprise with the latest technique.
A new large-scale project revived the Far Eastern city of Big Stone, located on the shores of the Sea of Japan. Recently a residential complex was built, the first since the Soviet era. People come to work at an enterprise that could become the largest civilian shipyard in the country. As a result of this, the population of the city may increase one and a half, or even twice.
