Recently, we have increasingly had to ask the question: will we be able to build a Mistral-class ship ourselves? The answer is, of course we can. Another question is where? It is impossible to answer unequivocally to it because Russia has enough production capacity to create such ships. We will talk about them. But before considering candidates, let's remember what is the displacement of the "Mistral" itself: standard - 16,500 tons, full - 21,300 tons, maximum - 32,300 tons.
Well, let's define the possible options.
1. Shipyard "Zaliv" (Kerch). Opportunities: has a dry dock, the length of which is 364 meters, the width is 60 meters. Update: In 2013, for the first time since 1971, the removable dry dock latch was refurbished. In particular, work was carried out to clean the valve from silt, replace the metal and paint it, and completed the repair of the pumping equipment of the dock.
2. Construction experience: a series of supertankers of the "Crimea" type with a displacement of 150 thousand tons.
3. An example is a tanker of the type "Crimea" "Soviet oil".
4. From modern examples - delivery in 2005 of the hull of a chemical carrier with a displacement of 35,000 tons.
5. Shipyard "Admiralteyskie Verfi" (St. Petersburg). Opportunities: has a dry dock, the length of which is 259 meters, the width is 35 meters. Currently, the facilities of the enterprise are fully loaded. The shipyard is successfully implementing a number of contracts for domestic and foreign customers.
6. Construction experience: a series of 8 project 05-55 tankers with a displacement of 48,000 tons.
7. From modern examples - delivery of 2 supertankers of the R-70046 project. An example is the delivery in 2010 of the tanker "Mikhail Ulyanov" with a displacement of 70,000 tons.
8. Northern Machine-Building Enterprise, or Sevmash (Severodvinsk). Opportunities: has the Sukhona floating dock, which is 202 meters long and 46 meters wide.
9. Today the plant is engaged in the repair of military ships of the first rank, as well as the production of nuclear submarines of the Borey and Yasen projects. An example is the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear submarine of the Borey project with a displacement of 24,000 tons.
10. Construction experience - construction of a series of the world's largest nuclear submarines of Project 941 "Akula" with a displacement of 48 thousand tons.
11. Modern examples include the construction of the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier for India, built on the basis of the Admiral Gorshkov heavy aircraft carrier. The ship with a displacement of 45,000 tons was delivered to the customer in 2013.
12. Baltic Shipyard (Kaliningrad). Opportunities: it has three construction sites - two slipways and a boathouse, as well as a deep-water outfitting embankment. The slipway "A" has a length of 350 meters and allows launching vessels with a displacement of up to 100,000 tons. The length of the outfitting embankment is 245 meters.
13. Recently, the company has successfully completed a number of large international civil orders, including a series of chemical tankers for a German customer and a series of river tankers under a contract with a Dutch company.
14. Construction experience: construction of the world's first floating nuclear power plant "Akademik Lomonosov" with a displacement of 22,000 tons. The construction is planned to be completed in 2017.
15. Modern examples include the construction of a series of the world's largest icebreakers, project 22220, with a displacement of 34,000 tons. In 2013, the first icebreaker Arktika was laid down.
16. Shipbuilding complex "Zvezda" (Primorsky Territory). It will produce tankers with a displacement of up to 350,000 tons, gas carriers up to 250,000 cubic meters, ice-class vessels, special vessels with a launch weight of up to 29,000 tons.
17. The final implementation of the project is planned by 2018.
18. Stages of project implementation:
I stage. Block of hull-processing plants and painting booths (including the construction of an open outfitting heavy slipway). II stage. Dry dock and production halls. III stage. Block of workshops and dry dock in Mysovoye settlement.
19. As a result, about 6,500 jobs will be created.
20. Well, and more photos from the construction site, so that you can assess the scale of construction.
