“How much the city is to pay is a confidential issue. “Admiralty Shipyards” want many times more than the market value. They, hiding behind the difficulties of the production process, details of which we do not know, can no way justified raise amount of compensation”, – pointed out Chichkanov.
Prior to 2015 “Admiralty Shipyards” are loaded with orders on some submarines. Therefore, now amount of compensation, which the city will pay to the enterprise for removal from the Novo-Admiralty Island to the island Kotlin, is being discussed. “As for sale of the island, we are communicating more with United Shipbuilding Company (USC) – it is easier with them. As for directly removal of the shipyard - with “Shipyards”, - said Alexey Chichkanov.

The Federation Council of the Russia ratified a Russian-Norwegian contract on maritime delimitation and cooperation at the Barents SEA and Arctic OCEAN signed by the Heads of foreign policy departments of both countries in the presence of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, and Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, on the 15th of September, 2010.
Negotiations on this issue lasted for 40 years. The area of disputed territories is approximately 155‑175,000 square kilometres. According to the contract, Russia gave 90,000 square kilometres of water areas, rich in oil, gas and fish resources, to Norway.
At the end of April of the last year, in the course of Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to Oslo, the countries reached an agreement, that territory at the Barents sea and Arctic ocean shall be divided into two equal parts. According to the results of the visit, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of both countries signed the statement “On Maritime Delimitation and Cooperation at the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean”.
The document establishes clear boundaries of sovereign rights and jurisdiction of Russia and Norway, provides for the continuation of bilateral cooperation in fishery, and also determines the mode of joint exploitation of transboundary hydrocarbon deposits. After a 30-year moratorium the countries can freely explore oil and gas fields of the Arctic continental SHELF on the territory of 175,000 square kilometres.
In Ministry of Foreign Affairs of RF, they call not to consider the ratification of the contract as “granting of marine spaces”. As the Deputy of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of RF,Vladimir Titov, said concerning ratification of the document at the meeting of the State Duma, Russian-Norwegian contract does not inflict HARM to Russian position concerning Spitsbergen. “Fishery in the waters around Spitsbergen will be continued as earlier”, - said the diplomat.
The opponents of the agreement believe that today 60 % of Russian catch at the Barents sea is being obtained in the areas, which the new contract is giving under the responsibility of Norway. Their loss can lead to a rapid rise in unemployment and social crisis in towns and settlements of the north coast of RF.
Members of the Federation Council Committee on Northern Affairs and Indigenous Peoples declared about their concerns regarding this issue. “We think that two year transition period, during which catch will be governed by national fishing process regulations in the former disputed area within economic zones of both states, is insufficient. Taking into account significant differences between these regulations, fundamentally new equipment of Russian fishing vessels, we can suppose, that it will be one more reason to limit catching by Russian fishermen in two years”, - said the Chairman of the Committee, Alexander Matveev, at the meeting on Wednesday.
As a result, the Committee maintained main provisions of the State Duma application, adopted at the ratification of the contract. In particular, it was pointed out in the document, that the Government of the Russian Federation will take all necessary measures to ensure interests of Russian fishing industry. The Head of the Commission of the Federation Council for national marine policy, Vyacheslav Popov, in his speech also pointed out concerns presented “in the social and political circles and fishing community of north-western regions of Russia”.

The accident on “Nerpa” occurred during sea trials at the Japanese SEA. On the night of the 8th of November, 2008 fire suppression system LOKH (submarine volume chemical) was unexpectedly activated on board of NPS, as a result of which freon discharge occurred. This substance displaces oxygen and extinguishes the flame quickly. Two front sections were automatically sealed, and people being there (three members of the crew and 17 civil persons) asphyxiated. Another 21 persons were hospitalized with poisoning.
