Today, Admiralty Shipyards JSC can rightly be considered the flagship of Russian shipbuilding. Its production base makes it possible to annually produce several ships and submarines for various purposes of displacement. The shipyard built by Peter the Great during its existence made a significant contribution to the development of Russian shipbuilding.

From Peter to the present day

By personal decree of Peter the Great, on November 5, 1704, the construction of a shipbuilding shipyard began in St. Petersburg, later called the Admiralty Shipyards. From this day begins the history of the legendary shipbuilding enterprise.

Thanks to the efforts of Peter and his followers, the Admiralty House was rapidly developing. Already on January 12, 1705, it was reported that the construction of ships had begun at the Admiralty shipyards, and on April 29, 1706, the construction of the Arcanne pram, which was a floating artillery battery with a flat bottom, was completed. The ship master from Holland, Vybe Gerens, took an active part in its construction. Subsequently, with his help, several battleships were launched, which significantly increased the prestige of the Russian fleet. In May of that year, the construction of the Lyubov and Catherine yachts was successfully completed.

In early December 1709, under the leadership of Peter I and Fedor Sklyaev, the construction of the first battleship began. The armament of the Poltava was 54 artillery pieces. The pace of construction was constantly accelerating. At the end of 1715, 10 warships were built simultaneously at the Admiralty shipyards, the armament of which ranged from 60 to 90 guns.

In 1712, near the mouth of the Neva, the construction of small ships began. The new shipyard was called the Gallery Yard. At the end of 1713, the shipyard's production capacity was more than 62 slipways. One of the most significant events in the history of the Galley Yard was the construction and testing in 1725 of the prototype of the first Russian submarine, called the "Patented Vessel." Its developer was Efim Nikonov. Historical sources that have survived to this day indicate that during the life of Peter the Great, 23 large ships and more than 200 galleys were launched.

Many ships built and sailed from admiralty shipyards remained forever in the history of Rossi. They can safely include the armored artillery battery "Don't Touch Me," the construction of which was completed in 1865 under the leadership of Englishman Mitchel and Russian shipbuilder Sobolev. Launched in 1877, the prototype of the future squadron battleships "Peter the Great." The battleships of the coastal defense "Popovka" and "Novgorod," as well as the high-speed corvette "Vityaz" and the naval destroyer "Explosion," the construction of which was completed in 1877. In 1903, the cruiser "Aurora," known to the world, began to furrow the sea.

December 1959 was marked by the launch of the unique at that time nuclear icebreaker Lenin and the floating base for the processing of crabs and fish Andrei Zakharov. In the 60s. XX century the plant began mass production of icebreakers of the Dobrynya Nikitich type and tankers of the Hanoi type, the displacement of which was 62 600 tons.

Over the 3-century history of its existence, the company launched more than 2600 ships for various purposes.

Looking to the Future

At this stage of development, Admiralty Shipyards JSC is a multidisciplinary concern that widely uses innovative technologies. The company successfully promotes its products both in the Russian market and in the world shipbuilding market. The company specializes in the following types of work;

design developments;

construction of new modifications of ships, non-nuclear submarines;

modernization of existing marine equipment of various types, classes;

In addition, the company is engaged in the construction and modernization of non-nuclear submarines, special vehicles designed for deep-sea dives, marine special equipment designed to perform rescue operations, supply vessels that ensure the timely delivery of failed parts, assemblies and units.

In the civil sphere, the priority area of ​ ​ activity is the construction of exclusive tankers, the displacement of which can reach 70 000t. It is also possible to develop projects and build tankers of a reinforced ice class in accordance with the wishes of the customer. In addition, mass production of marine special equipment and Master boats with a welded aluminum hull has been established. The stability of operation in the world market is achieved by the availability of all special certificates of an international type.

The structure of the enterprise consists of separate production areas:

body;

welding and assembly;

machine building;

staple-delivery;

pre-construction.

In addition, the shipyard successfully performs its own design bureau and engineering center. It is important to note the fact that the latest domestic and foreign technologies are used for the construction of modern ships at all stages of production. High seaworthiness and reliability of produced vessels are ensured by constant quality control at all stages of ship construction.

During its work, the company produced more than 300 submarines of various modifications of the design, as well as 70 underwater and deep-sea vehicles. According to the project 05-55, eight tankers with a displacement of 47 200t went to sea. As part of the R- 70046 project, the construction of the Mikhail Ulyanov and Kirill Lavrov tankers was completed in a timely manner.
