In the near future, the crew will move to the lead frigate of type 22350 Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Gorshkov built in St. Petersburg by Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard), as reports Flot.com. As per the schedule agreed with the Chief Command of the Navy and the Leningrad naval base, the teams of surface ships and submarines under construction, moving of the crew to the lead ship No. 921 is performed in three stages. The first stage was in March 2013: the crew practiced in the onboard duty. At the second stage, the crew participated in installation of the mechanisms and plants, electric equipment and in commissioning, i.e. practiced their skills in the ship's systems. The next, final stage is the crew moving to the ship and training of daily activities will take place in the near future.
On board the INS Vikramaditya modernised by Sevmash in Severodvinsk they proceeded with acceptance of air systems used for flights and aircraft location. As reported by the Sevmash press office, engineers of the Chkalov State Flight Centre work on board the aircraft-carrier. The ship is in the flooded dock. They carry out dockage on preparing the ship for sea acceptance trials in the White and Barents Seas. The trials are scheduled for 3 July. On 3 August in the Barents Sea, they commence the flight trials with the use of ship-based aircrafts and helicopters and the handover of the "ship-aircraft" system. In the first half of October, the ship will return to Sevmash to go then to India. On 15 November the aircraft-carrier is to be handed over to the customer.
The Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and the Iceberg Central Design Bureau concluded an agreement on technical supervision over the design of a new general-purpose nuclear icebreaker. As compared with the previous generation of Arctic icebreakers, the new nuclear ship has increased specifications: its power is increased by 20 per cent up to 60 000 kW; displacement 1.7 times. The new design allows the icebreaker to operate at two working draughts: both in the Arctic deep water areas (including the Barents, Pechora, and Kara Seas), and in the mouths of the Siberian rivers, Yenisei and Ob.
Hovercrafts of type Arktika were tested in the Ust-Kamchatka region. Within 4 days, the vessels made over 100 voyages, transferred over 1 000 passengers. No defects are revealed. At present, the Ust-Kamchatka region uses the Kapitan Drabkin ferry vessel instead of the Arktika, as reports
i-mash.

Propulsion power: 500 h.p.
Maximum speed: 120 km/h
Propulsion: liquid-cooled diesel engine
Cruising range: 12 h
Distance: 1 100 km
Sevmash and the Chief Command of the Navy set the trials date of Onix anti-ship missiles. The supersonic missiles will be launched from the Severodvinsk multi-purpose nuclear submarine of type 885 Yasen at the end of August 2013 in the course of the state trials of the nuclear submarine. Calibre and Onix missiles are mandatory weaponry to be installed on board nuclear submarines of type Yasen. Therefore, positive trials results are of great importance for submarines as a whole.
The Nevsky Shipyard, Schlusselburg launched the forth dry-cargo vessel of type RSD49. The customer of the ten serial ships of type RSD49 is Northwestern Shipping Company. All the ten dry-cargo ships are to be built by the Nevsky Shipyard. Two more vessels of type RSD49 are constructed by Lotos Shipyard for Anship shipping company.
