The first barge of 4 300 tons for shipping Severstal cargo was launched. The shipbuilder is P.TransCo. P.TransCo Company signed agreements with shipyards for construction of sixteen vessels: six tugs will be built by Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard and ten barges, by Krasnoye Sormovo Plant. The next barge will be launched as early as at the end of November. The construction of tugs and tows will be completed upon opening of the navigation period in 2014. They will be used mainly for shipping export metal products to St. Petersburg.
The Russian Navy will get ships built of off-the-shelf modules. The first war ship of modular design is expected in 2018, as said the Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Victor Chirkov at the conference devoted to the prospects of military shipbuilding till 2050. "While implementing the long-term shipbuilding programme, new ships for the Russian Navy should be of modular design. This is our requirement as a customer. This method will reduce not only design period, but the production cost as well. Thus, the Russian Navy can have the first ship of modular design by 2018 to 2020, as said Mr. Chirkov.
Sevmash completed sea acceptance trials of the ocean megayacht. In the course of these trials, they tested operation of engine, rudder gear and other ship's mechanisms as well as held manoeuvrable and high-speed trials. Then, the ships will be handed over to the customer and delivered to Italy. The yacht has successfully passed her trials and fulfilled the required programme. All the equipment operates in the standard mode. On completing her trials, the yacht will sail to Arkhangelsk to be loaded on board the vessel, which will transport her to Italy. Italian specialists will finish the interior.
