    During his trip to Karelia, RF Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev inspected the works on modernization of Onezhsky Shipbuilding, Ship Repair Yard (Onezhsky Shipyard) where a site is being prepared for construction of new workshops of the digital shipyard. According to Vladimir Pospelov, Board Member of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation, a proposal will be submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Transport to make provisions for construction of three more facilities at the shipyard: automated storage facility for ship equipment, paintshops and a facility for launching Arctic class ships, according to the website of Karelia Government.

    “The Northern Sea Route Development Plan sets a clear task of establishing the required shipbuilding facilities. The shipyard has a competence of building Arctic class ships and I will ask the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Transport to make provisions for construction of three more facilities here,” said Vladimir Pospelov.

    Besides, the Federal Marine and River Transport Agency (Rosmorrechflot) is going to sign a contract with the shipyard on construction of two shallow-draft icebreakers. Moreover, construction of ice-class tugboats is under discussion.

The existing shipbuilding slipway is to undergo reconstruction. In the part of digitalization, an integrated digital production information system will be created to ensure digital management of the shipyard and effective of its production facilities through application of advanced management and information technologies adapted for shipbuilding.

    The project was developed by St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University and JSC "Shipbuilding and Shiprepair Technology Center" (St. Petersburg). RF Government allocated more than RUB 5 billion of federal resources for modernization of the shipyard in 2021-2024.
