Baltic Shipyard to build an icebreaker and blocks for Mistral ship
Baltic Shipyard’s newbuilds orderbook for the second half of 2012 includes a 25 MW linear icebreaker and the construction of hull’s modules for amphibious assault ship Mistral, United Shipbuilding Corporation said. The shipyard’s owner USC has planned to boost by 25% the firm’s wage fund.
The 25-percent wage hike is possible thanks to newbuilding contracts secured by Baltic Shipyard this year, said Baltic Shipyard’s General Director Valery Venkov, adding that the enterprise employees will be paid higher wages from February 12, 2012.
