Aleksandr Voznesensky has resigned from his post as Director General of Baltiysky Zavod shipyard (Saint-Petersburg). As IAA PortNews learnt from the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), the recent resignation has been agreed between the parties. USC declined to name the new Director General of the shipyard.
Baltiysky Zavod OJSC specializes in construction of rank 1 surface-crafts, ice class vessels with nuclear and diesel-electric propulsion plants, nuclear floating energy units, floating distilling plants. The shipyard was set up in 1856. In its history Baltiysky Zavod which built over 600 ships and vessels was privatized several times and returned to state control when financial problems arose. In late 2011, the shipyard once more fell under the control of the state represented by the United Shipbuilding Corporation. To preserve the staff and the competence of the shipyard, USC founded Baltiysky Zavod – sudostroyeniye LLC.
The backlog of orders of Baltiysky Zavod-Sudostroyeniye LLC is currently valued at about RUB 60 bln. The largest orders are: 60-MWt nuclear icebreaker, 25-MWt diesel-electric icebreaker, floating power unit of the world’s first floating nuclear heat and power plant. In 2012, the Company’s turnover mage RUB 9 bln, net profit – RUB 50 mln.
