Yantar Shipbuilding Factory wins contract to build two ships for Russian Navy

17.02.2009
The Yantar Shipbuilding Factory in Kaliningrad has won an order for two ships from the Russian Navy.

“We are talking here about an oceanographic boat with a water displacement of 5,000 tonnes and a specialized boat with a water displacement of 1,000 tonnes needed to test ships,” said Sergey Mikhailov, a spokesman for the factory. He added that the ships were going to be of modern design.

The contract is scheduled to be signed in Kaliningrad on February 16. The signing ceremony will be attended by the governor of Kaliningrad, Georgy Boos.

The Yantar Shipbuilding Factory has produced more than 150 ships and approximately 500 boats of various classes and purposes in its 60 years of existence. The factory is currently building three frigates for the Indian Navy, and the escort ship Yaroslav Mudry is now being prepared for sea trials at the factory. The Yaroslav Mudry is intended for the Russian Baltic Fleet.

Work is also underway at the factory on the assault ship Ivan Gren for the Russian Navy. The patrol boat Sprut is also being readied for the Federal Border Service.

The factory has been adding qualified overhead in anticipation of the amount of work needed from today up to 2012: it has hired more than 150 people since the beginning of the year.
