According to the source, this appointment is anything but incidental decision, because 82nd Ship Repair Plant has passed corporization procedure and was transformed into JSC. In Oct the plant will be integrated into United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) and then join Zvezdochka's affiliate 35th Ship Repair Plant. The primary objectives of this tandem in the state defense order are repair, overhaul, and service maintenance of Northern Fleet surface ships. Analogous reorganizations will be also applied to 10th Ship Repair Plant (Polyarny, Murmansk region). This plant after joining USC will integrate another affiliate of Zvezdochka shipyard – Nerpa Ship Repair Plant. Their mission will be service maintenance of NF submarines in basing sites. Such reorganization is to be carried out under development strategy of Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center.
Reorganization of 10th and 82nd plants was sanctioned far back in 2007 by the presidential decree. However, financial decay of those two plants made their integration into Zvezdochka impossible.
82nd Ship Repair Plant was established early 70's on the basis of coastal repair workshops and captured German floating dock PD-1. Currently, the plant has the biggest floating dock in the region bought in Sweden in 1980; its lifting capacity is 80,000 tons. The plant is specialized in dock repair of SSBNs, nuclear-powered surface ships and other large-size vessels. Also, the plant conducts overhauls of small-tonnage ships.
