Apart from shipbuilding Norebo is set to develop ship repair
The order book of Pella SK, LLC and Pella-Stapel, LLC (assets of Norebo Group) numbers 12 fishing ships including two crab catchers of Project 3070; four mid-size processing trawlers of Project 3095, two mid-size processing trawlers of Project 1701 and four long-liners of Project 200101, says Norebo.
Besides, talks on expansion of Pella SK are underway in order to create conditions for construction of large ships.
Norebo is implementing 16 investment projects on construction of fishing ships for its companies in the Northern and Far East basins: 10 processing trawlers of Project 170701 at Severnaya Verf shipyard, four of which (for the Far East basin) are to be transferred to Pella SK. Other vessel – two trawlers of Project 1701 and four long-liners of Project 200101 – will be built by Pella SK.
Norebo says it is going to complete the construction of all ships within terms established in accordance with the Russian legislation.
Apart from shipbuilding Norebo considers it important to develop the domestic ship repair base. In view of that, the construction of a multipurpose complex has been launched in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. It is intended for all types of ship repair including dock repair. Besides, designing of a ship repair facility for the Murmansk Region is underway.
Pella shipyard based in Russia’s Leningrad region was founded in 1950. Pella was privatized in 1992. Reorganization of Pella JSC was completed in November 2022 with Pella SK, LLC taking over the rights and obligations under shipbuilding contracts on construction of fishing ships and Pella-Stapel, LLC acting as a contractor (its assets were acquired by Norebo in spring 2022).
Pella SK, LLC and Pella-Stapel, LLC are under control of Norebo although the process of Pella’s property transfer to Pella SK has not been completed yet.
