Admiralty Shipyards plans keel-laying of Mistral warship for December
A keel-laying ceremony at USC’s Admiralty Shipyards of the first helicopter carrier of Mistral class is scheduled to be held this December, USC’s head said on Wednesday.
President of United Shipbuilding Corp. Roman Trotsenko, who attended the IMDS-2011 in St. Petersburg, told reporters that USC will build the warships stern, which will be assembled at STX France.
He said the Corp.’s share in production of the first two vessels would be 40%.
Roman Trotsenko said the expected relocation of some of Admiralty Shipyards facilities to Kronstadt (St. Petersburg) will not prevent the order execution.
