Krasnoye Sormovo will build three dredging vessels for Rosmorport
FSUE Rosmorport has made a decision to sign a contract with Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard (United Shipbuilding Corporation OJSC) for designing and construction of three dredging vessels for Russian ports, MNP Group says.
Three trailing suction hopper dredgers are intended for Ust-Luga, Big Port St. Petersburg and Tuapse.
The technical design was developed by the Dutch company Damen.
In December 2013, Krasnoye Sormovo (MNP Group) and Belgian company Dredging International NV (DEME Group) signed an agreement on cooperation.
Krasnoye Sormovo OJSC is one of Russia's oldest shipyards. It was founded in 1849. In 2011, it entered the United Shipbuilding Corporation.
