Pella is great. Build and build. Even driving past them on the highway is a pleasure.

[cniza]

God forbid not slow down.

[Mikado]

God forbid them, Diamond, other plants. Of course, not an aircraft carrier, but different fleets need ships.

[seti]

Such ships are useful not only for the Navy but also for the merchant fleet. Do not slow down - such boats are really needed.

[Ivan Tucha]

that's for sure. But there are not so many of these buildings there with red spots shone in idle time ...

[Uncle Murzik]

all the same, it’s somehow small on a national scale!

It seems that they decided to set 76mm for acceleration, probably from naval stocks. Actually, it's normal for him.

"Sotka" for RTOs of 800 tons is somehow redundant - it's not an artillery boat.
Moreover, at 22800 they promised to solve the problems with seaworthiness, pursuing the larger 21631 (and for this a large upper weight is clearly undesirable).

[NordUral]

And this is good. Finally, Pella is building ships again.

Actually, she did not stop. On the contrary, this is an example of how private traders, despite obstacles (at first they wanted to squeeze the shipyard itself, survived in the courts, then sections for the second stage - where the tug was actually built, then a year agreed on a grant and an additional soft loan for the construction of the second stage) to build ships efficiently, quickly and fairly cheaply in the interests of both government agencies and private customers.

Actually the first tug of the new 2003 series of the year. The first tugboat and generally the ship for the MO - 2009 year. From 2003 to 2009 - the tugboat was built and delivered 34, including for foreign customers - Lithuania, Norway.

... while not specifically bothering with sanctions and import substitution. Cummins or Caterpillar engines, WRC Rolls-Royce.

everything is wonderful, except for the address of the plant. It is located in the city of Otradnoye in the Leningrad Region.
