Russian shipbuilders are increasingly focused on military orders

31
Shipbuilding in the Russian Federation is increasingly focused on military orders. Despite the fact that more civilian ships were built, 80% of the proceeds to shipyards brought warships, reports Kommersant.



“In 2014, the volume of orders executed by Russian shipbuilders fell by 41% to 177 ships. The number of built ships decreased in both civilian and military sectors - shipyards handed over 112 civilian ships (63% of the total portfolio) and 65 warships, in 2013, these figures were at the level of 170 (56%) and 131 ship, respectively. But in monetary terms, the market declined relative to the level of 2013 of the year by only 3%, to 219,9 billion rubles, ”the newspaper said the agency Infoline-Analytics.

This was due to military orders, which accounted for about 80% (177,7 billion rubles) of the total portfolio. “For example, last year, Severodvinsk“ Sevmash ”handed over two nuclear submarines with a total value of 61 billion rubles, while the value of completed civil orders fell by 26,5% to 44,1 billion rubles,” writes “Kommersant”.

This year, the upward trend in the share of military orders continues. In the opinion of Mikhail Burmistrov, the head of Infoline-Analytics, in 2015 the value of civilian orders will drop to 15%.

“With a sharp increase in interest rates on loans and leasing and stagnation in industry, the demand for ships from Russian customers will decrease,” he said and emphasized that “lower oil prices and sanctions are fraught with the transfer of projects on the shelf and threaten the construction of Russian shipyards tanker fleetserving vessels and platforms. ”

A number of shipbuilders agreed with this, noting that “the prospect of a full launch of the“ Super Dock ”Zvezda in the Far East (the Rosneft project, USC and GPB) in 2018 looks quite vague, taking into account the delayed construction and the unformed portfolio of orders.”

“There are problems with the construction of offshore equipment on the Astrakhan Rosshelf. For example, in 2014, the LSP-1 platform, ordered by LUKOIL, was put into the sea far from the final stage of readiness and is now being completed on a rotational basis, ”newspaper sources said.

“As a result,” the interlocutors of Kommersant noted, “in the industry, the largest shipyards (Sevmash, Severnaya Verf, Admiralty Shipyards, etc.), traditionally focused on the state defense order, continue to pay him the most attention.” And other capacities capable of performing civil orders have not yet been created.

“Civilian direction often develops in the framework of not the largest shipyards, such as the Oka Shipyard,” said one source. Another interviewee said: “Now, in the absence of competencies for the construction of complex offshore and civilian equipment, it is obvious that orders for it will continue to be sent to foreign, primarily Korean shipyards, and there are no real, not planned, prerequisites for a turning point.”

Sources added that amid the reduction in defense spending, military orders could be reduced. It is planned to allocate 2020 trillion for the re-equipment of the Navy to 4,7. rub. First of all, funds should be spent on the purchase of new types of ships (surface and submarine), as well as repairs and upgrades.

“But the unstable economic situation can intervene: more than 2017 billion rubles have already been transferred under the state program beyond the 500 line of the year, and this practice will be used in the future,” a government source told Kommersant.

In addition, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said in 2013 that “the fleet needs ships with a lifetime of not 30, but 50 years, capable of going through five to six upgrades”. Thus, “the military will strive to move away from the practice of buying a large number of ships, and this position in the Ministry of Defense has remained unchanged,” the newspaper concludes.

          Is it possible to compare in quantity, in shipbuilding. Previously, for the year they summed up the tonnage of the released ships. Is it possible to compare boats for example with nuclear submarines.
          During the time that the nuclear submarine is being built, more than a dozen boats can be riveted.

      this is very bad - it turns out that the new civilian vessels in our country are mostly imported - like airplanes - and this is money that is fed not by Russian workers but
      French and Fritz Koreans - a mess

        Why bad? Shipyards are ALL loaded with work. Military orders are quality control.
        We can’t keep up with the Koreans, the niche of domestic shipbuilding is unique ships: nuclear icebreakers, floating nuclear power plants, ice-resistant drilling rigs.

    I support members of the forum that Russia should have a strong navy. BUT! In no case should you lose your position in the civilian sector of shipbuilding. Each order at a shipyard of another country is money in someone else's pocket, and we don't have a lot of them anyway. We need to think something about bringing to mind the Zvezda shipyard in the Far East.

    Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said in 2013 that "the fleet needs ships with a life of not 30, but 50 years, capable of undergoing five or six modernizations"
    Why not 10 !?
    It would be better if he went about his business: he would rivet the tanks, but he would not climb into the shipbuilding with boots.
    Why am I? And here's what: sea water is an electrolyte! The car travels through the winter on reagents and then you look where the corrosion has gone. And the ship has more induced electromagnetic fields than a bobby of fleas. Electrochemical corrosion of metal, even with ideal (difficult to achieve!) Protection, is still going on. Look, the Americans are not stupid, but their Ticonderogs "rotted"! Boats also have issues with seabed and outboard fittings. (case 48-50 mm, slowly, but also corrodes). So 2, maximum 3 upgrades can be done, but not more. In 30 years, both ships and weapons will be different. And after half a century ??? It's like making a new vest from old pants!
    the military will strive to abandon the practice of purchasing a large number of ships, and this position in the Ministry of Defense has remained unchanged
    It will be a normal practice to order a series of ships capable of performing the tasks assigned to the fleet with a certain efficiency. Superfluous is not needed, but also the minimum necessary - give and do not sin! Otherwise the NATO "thorns" will rub against the country's sea borders in caravans. And given the range of the Axes, they will just take the OS under the gun in Siberia.
    Since childhood, I was touched by the phrase: "The border is locked!" BUT THE FLEET IS LOCATED THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS AHEAD OF THE BORDER POSTS!
    Here is the conclusion: Russia needs a modern fleet that will give time to the strategic nuclear forces to prepare for a retaliatory strike against the peddlers of democracy. IMHO.

      Dear Boa Kaa, on orders undergoing scheduled dock repairs, all tread protection is disconnected, and everywhere (tanks are opened, etc., etc.) it changes to new blocks, after leaving at least 5 days, they hang on the demagnet. DBA is also dismantled and defective glasses requiring repair are welded and processed on order by portable machines. Moreover, hydraulic tests are carried out for strength and density in accordance with the requirements constructiondocumentation.

    it’s good that the shipyards are loading more and more with military orders ... due to political trends and threats, the fleet should be ready to adequately and efficiently respond to them and carry out any tasks. We can only rejoice at the fact that they have finally taken seriously their fleet, and not a fleet of Indians or Chinese ... good

    Russia is a continental power.
    In the case of wars, the Baltic Fleet becomes clogged instantly and tightly,
    as it was already several times, the Black Sea - too, the North -
    if you manage to break into the Atlantic, you will be lucky.
    Pacific - probably only from Sakhalin can go into the ocean.

    Nuclear submarines with ICBMs have the direct sense of constantly keeping the oceans on duty,
    well, frigates for coastal defense,
    and large surface ships - money completely thrown to the wind.
