Komsomolsk-on-Amur. July 28. INTERFAX-Amur Shipbuilding Plant, part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, plans to hand over one of the corvettes of the project 20380 - "Sharp" - for the celebration of Victory Day in 2022, four months ahead of the contract deadline, plant General Director Vladimir Kulakov told Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during his visit to the completion pier of the plant.
The multi-purpose patrol ship "Sharp" is one of several corvettes of the project 20380, the construction of which has been mastered at the Amur Plant. At the beginning of July of this year, the "Sharp" left the slipway shop and was put into the completion dock, where it will undergo final work and tests. The very withdrawal of the ship also took place on the day of the celebration of the 85th anniversary of the launch of the Amur Shipbuilding Plant.
"It is being commissioned in 2022 under a contract. But we will try to hand it over four months earlier - by Victory Day, " Kulakov said, presenting the Sharp corvette to the head of the government.
Later, the chief builder of the plant, Yuri Lysenkov, explained to journalists that the plant thus plans to make a "gift to veterans" of the Great Patriotic War. "This is a kind of tribute to our veterans. It will be difficult, but we will definitely try to fulfill it, " he said.
The Amur Shipbuilding Plant is the main base in the Far East for the construction of warships for the Pacific Fleet. The corvettes of this series "Perfect", "Loud" and "Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov" have already descended from its stocks earlier. After the delivery of the "Sharp" fleet, this line will be continued at the plant by the new corvette "Grozny". For the civil fleet, the plant is building two ferries for communication along the Vanino - Kholmsk line to connect the mainland with Sakhalin. Such a ferry can accommodate 32 railway cars, 12 heavy trucks and up to 200 passengers at a time. The plant is provided with loading through the state defense order until 2028 with the prospect of additional loading due to additional orders from 2025 to 2033.
