Since January 679 workers of Shipbuilding factory of 61 communard are on unpaid furlough. The Black sea ship factory works in the mode of part-time employment. A «Liman» declined a workweek from 5 to 4 days, and even such profit enterprise of industry as Wadan Yards Okean (before – Damen Shipyards Okean), was forced to transfer 340 of 2,5 thousand of regular workers on the 4-hour shift-work.
According to the general manager of Wadan Yards Okean Nicolay Romanchuk, a factory disposes with the order book to 2010. The most of them are already got from a new owner of enterprise, the group of the Wadan Yards AS companies, in which 70% belong to Russian FLS West and 30% Norwegian Aker Yards.
From all shipyards included in the informal shipbuilding holding «Smart», Black sea ship factory remains in the most difficult situation. In November, ship building was phased out - «because of crisis», there was only ship repair.
