History

At the end of the Cold War, the Zvezda shipyard was used to decommission Soviet nuclear submarines, with funding and support from the US and Canada under the Nunn–Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction initiative.[1]

Following the decommissioning work, there were plans to expand and redevelop the shipyard to construct larger new ships.[2] Work on the latest attempt at expansion began in 2009; the Russian government has criticised delays and threatened to hand control of the project to third parties, perhaps including Rosneft and Gazprom.[3] In the longer term, the shipyard may be opened up to foreign investors as part of a broader plan to make the Russian shipbuilding industry capable of competing with shipbuilders in other countries.[4]

When the expansion is complete, the shipyard would be able to build ships up to 360m and 250,000dwt.[5]

As of 2017, the Zvezda shipyard has orders for only 14 vessels, mostly from Rosneft, one of the owners.[6]

In the middle of 2018, the shipyard's order book amounted to 118 vessels, including orders from Rosneft for 26 vessels, 4 vessels are in the process of construction.[7][8] In September 2018, the first tanker of the Aframax class was laid.[9] Also in September, an agreement was signed with Samsung Heavy Industries on the transfer of competencies in the construction of tankers. Zvezda has cooperation with Samho (Hyundai) HI Mokpo DSME Samsung and Hyundai HI .

In September 2020 an order for 10 new large (174,000 cbm capacity) LNG gas tankers was placed with Zvezda shipyard by a joint venture between the Russian companies Novatek and Sovcomflot to serve the future Artic LNG 2 project on the Gyda Peninsula.[10]
