The shipyard has embarked on construction of a new series
On 20 May 2020, Krasnoye Sormovo (a company of United Shipbuilding Corporation) held a ceremony of keel-laying for five crab catching ships of Project КСП01 intended for the companies of North West Fishing Consortium. The shipyard says it will be the first crab catchers built by Krasnoye Sormovo.
The ceremony was held in reduced format due to constraints aimed to prevent the expansion of COVID-19.
Under the contracts with AlfaTrade, Karapaks, FROSTER and Eta-Trade, Krasnoye Sormovo will build five ships by November 2024.
