The Russian shipyard complex Sevmasch ( Russian Северное машиностроительное предприятие , Севмаш for short , Northern Mechanical Engineering Company ) is located in the port city of Severodvinsk on the White Sea . Sewmasch has been part of the Russian shipbuilding holding United Shipbuilding Corporation since 2007 .
founding
In 1935/36 the search for a new naval shipyard in Arkhangelsk began on the area of the Nikolo Korelsky monastery in Nikolsky at the mouth of the Northern Dvina . Construction of the shipyard began in 1936 and production began in December 1939 with the laying of the keel of the first battleship Sovetskaya Belorussija .
The shipyard became the main company of the Russian State Nuclear Shipbuilding Center.
Production for marine and marine technology
At the shipyard and the associated mechanical engineering complex with around 25,000 employees, there are not only the shipbuilding workshops and halls, but also almost all the trades in the shipbuilding supply industry that are necessary for the floating objects being created here.
Sevmasch is the largest Russian shipyard for new construction and repairs with a huge area in the port of Severodvinsk, where naval ships and submarines have been built since the 1950s . Most Russian submarines, both diesel electric and nuclear submarines of different types, ran here from the stack . With the first Soviet nuclear submarine, the Leninsky Komsomol , the construction of nuclear submarines began in 1954. Around 130 nuclear submarines had been completed by this shipyard by 2013.
Very complex floating objects such as drilling platforms or even a floating nuclear power plant were or are being built here. The floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonossow , construction started in April 2007, was initially developed here before the construction was relocated to the Baltic plant in Saint Petersburg in 2008 . The Priraslomnaja oil rig, which Greenpeace boarded for a few hours in 2012 and 2013 and destined for the state energy company Gazprom , was also built at this shipyard.
