The Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex is a strategically important project for the Far Eastern region and the domestic shipbuilding industry, which is being implemented on behalf of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation by the Consortium of Rosneftegaz JSC, Rosneft PJSC and Gazprombank JSC. The construction of the complex began in 2009. The ceremonial launch of the new shipyard took place on September 1, 2016 in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
In mid-July, the Zvezda SSK held a ceremony of laying the head vessel of a series of icebreaking LNG tankers of ARC 7 class.
These gas carriers are among the most technologically challenging in the construction of innovative vessels, each of which will have a capacity of more than 172,000 cubic meters and equipped with three unique rotor steering columns. These vessels are designed to carry liquefied natural gas and are capable of operating in Arctic conditions.
>The construction of icebreaker tankers-gas carriers of LNG class ARC 7 is carried out in the interests of the implementation of the project for the production of liquefied natural gas "Arctic LNG-2", in which the main sponsor and charterer of the cargo is the company "Novatek".
LLC ZVK "BERVEL" is a supplier of high-strength fasteners for both the shipbuilding complex itself and for the large-scale construction of "Arctic LNG-2".
It is very important for us to confirm the high quality of fasteners manufactured by the BERVEL plant in such important facilities for our country. The reliability of high-strength fasteners in responsible metal structures connections is the reliability of the object as a whole. The positive opinion of the auditors on the inspection of the production process at the plant, the quality control process and continuous improvements gives us reason to be proud of the results of our work and be suppliers of large-scale projects implemented not only in our country.
