Shipyards under construction in the Primorsky Territory are already provided with orders worth of five billion dollars. Long-term agreements with major Russian corporations – Gazprom, Transneft, Rosneft and Sovcomflot were signed until 2020, Governor of the Primorsky Territory Sergei Darkin told a press conference in Vladivostok.
Two shipyards were laid down on Wednesday at the 30th shipbuilding plant in the restricted-access territorial entity Fokino and at the Zvezda shipyard in the Bolshoi Kamen city.
Drilling equipment, the foundations for oil platforms and technological equipment will be produced at the 30th shipyard. The Far Eastern Center for Shipbuilding and Ship Repairs and Singapore’s Yantai Raffles shipyard signed an agreement to build a shipyard. The investments in the project will total 100-200 million dollars.
A shipyard in Bolshoi Kamen will build gas carriers, tankers, drilling ships and floating liquefied gas production plants. South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Corporation, which intends to invest up to 200 million dollars in the project, will participate in the construction of the shipyard.
“This will allow the Primorsky Territory to take the leading position on the world shipbuilding market,” Darkin said. “The development of this industry will give a strong multiplicative effect making it possible to develop related productions. A steel production project is already under consideration in the territory,” the governor noted.
“The Primorsky Territory has all prerequisites to develop the shipbuilding, including specialists,” the governor said. “I am confident that we will build super-shipyards timely. Taking as an example the preparations to an APEC summit we made sure that our designers, engineers and builders can build any difficult sites,” he pointed out.
