The new Aframax tanker runs on LNG. This is a big story all on its own. Smarmy NATzO and fellow traveler "countries" are trying
to snooker Russia in the Arctic with BS "environmentalism". They actually think that Russia is so primitive and backward
that it can't build ships that use clean propulsion. So while the precious west is still building bunker oil burning ships, Russia
is building large tankers and other transport ships that use natural gas.

Instead of admitting the impressive turnaround that Russia achieves with all sorts of technological projects, we have the usual BS about
"it's somebody else doing it". As if Russia can't build ships. For the hubris filled clueless: Russia can buy licensed solutions like the
rest of the developed world to save time.

The tone of coverage of Russian industrial and other affairs is inane chicken little the sky is falling fantasy projection. China
is basically not faulted for ripping off everything it can get its hands on. I am not saying that China is doing the wrong thing.
Thanks to foreign meddling it was set back by decades if not centuries and has had to run hard to catch up. At some point
its internal capacity for technological and scientific development must reach critical mass and I believe that this is now in
progress. But Russia is denigrated for doing the smart thing and building off the shelf products to bootstrap certain production
lines that never existed before. Building a goddamned super tanker is not like building the S-500 system and is not worth
all the chicken little hysteria.

As we saw with the Mistrals, Russia will use the initial batch to develop its own designs for subsequent generations. This is
to be applauded.

These nay-saying fuckwits will learn in the fullness of time.  Russia WILL be wealthy, developed, powerful, politically stable & independent, financially unassailable, technologically advanced, industrially self-sufficient, militarily unconquerable, and an undeniable example to other nations on how they can take control of their own affairs without kow-towing to the corrupt bankster cartels and their indentured minions in the bought-and-paid-for Western polity.

These yabbering clowns can prattle all they like, but they can't change reality, and the trend is clear that more and more of the world is slipping through their grasping neo-liberal talons. Fuck them, and just keep moving forwards because that is what they really fear.

As reported on July 14, 2020 Shipbuilding Complex Zvezda LLC (SSK Zvezda, Bolshoy Kamen, Primorsky Krai), the company carried out an operation to install a waterproof shutter (batoport) on the construction dry dock being built. A floating structure 114 meters long and 12 meters high will separate the dock chamber, the bottom of which is located below the water level, from the water area.

The dry dock is one of the world's largest hydraulic structures with dimensions of 485х114х14 meters and a key element of the second stage of construction of the Zvezda shipyard. A dry dock allows you to build most types of existing and promising ships with virtually no limit to the tonnage and launch weight of the hulls. A unique Goliath-type crane with a lifting capacity of 1200 tons was installed at the dock, and pumping equipment that has no analogues in Russia was installed. The commissioning of the dock is scheduled for the current year.

As reported on July 14, 2020 by OOO Shipbuilding Complex Zvezda (SSK Zvezda, Bolshoy Kamen, Primorsky Territory), the enterprise carried out an operation to install a watertight gate (bathoport) at the construction dry dock under construction. The floating structure, 114 meters long and 12 meters high, will separate the dock chamber, the bottom of which is located below the water level, from the water area.

 The hull of the bathoport, made of high-strength shipbuilding steel, has a continuous waterproof skin and is divided by decks and bulkheads into air, ballast and open compartments. The bath port includes ballast systems, drainage, ventilation systems, dry dock filling valves, as well as a local fire extinguishing system and fire alarm. The batoport is controlled from the central console and local posts. Another feature is the presence of a carriageway on the upper deck of the bathoport.

 Before installing the hydraulic seal, the shipyard specialists flooded the dry dock. Also, work was performed to dismantle the enclosing bulkhead - dry dock dam, as well as dredging in the water area adjacent to the dock gate.

 The dry dock is one of the world's largest hydraulic structures with dimensions of 485х114х14 meters and a key element of the second stage of construction of the Zvezda shipyard. A dry dock allows you to build most types of existing and promising ships with virtually no limit to the tonnage and launch weight of the hulls. A unique Goliath-type crane with a lifting capacity of 1200 tons was installed at the dock, and pumping equipment that has no analogues in Russia was installed. The commissioning of the dock is scheduled for the current year.

 The construction of the most powerful icebreaker in the world "Russia" of the "Leader" project will be carried out in the dry dock of the SSK "Zvezda". At present, the first parts for the future nuclear-powered ship are being cut in the hull production unit.

 The vessel will become the most powerful ship in the history of world shipbuilding. This is a technically complex project that has no analogues in the world. Its key task is to provide year-round navigation of the commercial fleet along the Northern Sea Route. The Leader project will become the backbone of the new generation of Russian icebreaker fleet. The length of the new nuclear-powered ship will be 210 meters, width - 47 meters, draft - 13 meters. The icebreaker Rossiya will be equipped with two RITM-400 nuclear reactors, four turbines and four propeller motors. The total capacity of the icebreaker's power plants will be 120 MW, which will allow the vessel to overcome ice more than 4 meters thick at a speed of 2 knots. With an ice thickness of 2 meters, the icebreaker's speed will be up to 12 knots.

 The Zvezda shipbuilding complex is being created by the Consortium led by Rosneft on behalf of the President of Russia V.V. Putin. To date, the shipyard's portfolio of orders includes over 40 vessels, including options - 59 vessels. The pilot loading of the complex is provided by Rosneft, which has placed an order for 28 vessels at the shipyard. The Zvezda product line will include vessels with a displacement of up to 350 thousand tons, elements of offshore platforms, ice-class vessels, commercial vessels for transporting goods, special ships and other types of marine equipment of any complexity, characteristics and purposes, including equipment that previously in Russia it was not produced due to the lack of the necessary launching and hydraulic structures.

Moscow, 7 September 2020. PAO NOVATEK announced that its joint venture Arctic LNG 2 ('Arctic LNG 2' and/or the 'Project') entered into long-term charter agreements on 14 Arc7 ice-class LNG tankers with SMART LNG (a joint venture between NOVATEK and PAO Sovcomflot), with the construction of the LNG tankers to be built at the Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex. The signing of the charter agreements allowed SMART LNG to conclude the corresponding contracts with the VEB.RF Group and Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex LLC for the construction and lease financing of these vessels.

In October 2019, the contracts for chartering, financing and construction of a pilot ice-class LNG tanker to be built at the Zvezda shipyard were signed. Earlier, the participants of Arctic LNG 2 (NOVATEK, TOTAL, CNPC, CNOOC, and the consortium of Mitsui and JOGMEC) in accordance with the Projects' Sea Transportation Strategy, approved the construction of 15 Arc7 ice-class LNG tankers at Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex.

The construction of 15 state-of-the-art ice-class gas tankers ensures the core formation of the Arctic fleet for the Project that will allow the year round transport of LNG along the Northern Sea Route to the Asian Pacific region, and provide an important stimulus to develop the Russian shipbuilding industry.

Some people say that zviezda shipyard is not built for military production.

This is correct that the shipyard was primarily financed by Rosneft for construction of Oil and Gas tankers. However that does not mean that the Russian MOD can't place an order there in future and nobody in Zvezda management would be foolish enough to refuse such an order. Having said that, I don't think MOD is really thinking about aircraft carriers at the moment, I would be surprised if any aircraft carrier order is placed before 2030 at the earliest.

Meanwhile, on October 3, news appeared on the official website of the Zvezda shipyard: they started cutting metal for the seventh Aframax tanker.

sskzvezda.ru/index.php/ru/news/8-news/439-sudoverf-zvezda-nachala-stroitelstvo-sedmogo-tankera-tipa-aframaks

The Kostroma Shipyards have completed one of five river tankers for the Netherlands in 7 months which is a record for them
It usually takes 9-12 months to build similar sized ships.

Meanwhile the new 5th column consisting of emo-Marxists aka Trotskyists is screeching that all is lost and that Russia
is merely operating on Soviet vapours. They have the wrong country, they should move to Ukraine and bitch there.
Since the laissez-faire capitalist liberasts have nearly zero support in Russia, NATzO is trying another trick and that is
to fund so-called communists to do the same 5th column job.

I think they are not going succeed with this trick. It's too late for Soviet nostalgia to work and too many people for
the USSR period have passed away. And as with the original liberasts, the shouting does not fit observable reality.

Ural receiving her heart (or part of it)

Monomakh is now in service

Most likely one of the cleanest running ships on the planet. No accolades from so-called western environmentalists. And of course
no reporting on this fact from the NATzO fake stream media.

Because Russia doesn´t build anything.
