MoD plans to reduce defense order for Zvezdochka on 30% in 2010

08.10.2009
Russian Ministry of Defense plans to reduce governmental defense order 2010 (GDO) on repair of nuclear submarines for OJSC Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center (Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk region) on over 30% comparing with 2009. That was said by PRIME-TASS referring to Vladimir Nikitin, shipyard's Director General.

"In 2009 working efficiency of the shipyard will make 11.5 bln rub. But nowadays Ministry of Defense sequesters defensive order even for signed contracts. Therefore, final sums may significantly differ from expected. We also wait for further decrease of GDO on ship repairs in 2010. Supposedly, in comparison with 2009 this decrease will make more than 30%. It would be serious challenge for Zvezdochka having more than half of Navy's workload", said V. Nikitin.

According to him, with a view to GDO sequestration the issue of repair 3rd generation ships at the shipyard remains unsettled.

"Navy declared plans to repair 3rd generation nuclear submarines at Zvezdochka since 2010 – Project 971 Shuka, Project 945 Barracuda and Project 949A Antei. But considering governmental order sequestration in ship repair and upgrade, I can't certainly name vessels to be repaired at the shipyard. Now everything depends on Defense Ministry's decisions and approval of defense order for 2010", explained Director General.
