Within the shortest time the cutting of steel for new vessel with the weight of 4000 tons will be started at Zaliv.

Indisputably, the most “burning” order for now is the Hull YNo. 297 — platform supply vessel (project PX121) that should be launched from the dock until the end of August.

At the moment approximately 400 workers are working over this project daily. Several workshops of the yard are involved in works execution and starting from July 17 companies Zaliv-Anticor and Mostec commenced painting of the hull.
