The hull-processing production of the Amur Shipbuilding Plant (ASZ, part of the USC) will process more than 8 thousand tons of sheet metal for the SSC Zvezda under the agreement between the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine (MMK) and the enterprise.
MMK, within the framework of the contract for the supply of metal to the Zvezda shipbuilding complex (SSK Zvezda, Bolshoy Kamen, Primorsky Krai), came out with a proposal to carry out pre-delivery processing of rolled metal directly in the Far East at the Amur Shipyard.
Within the framework of the agreement concluded between MMK and ASZ, by the end of May this year, the hull-processing shop must process 8.1 thousand tons of rolled metal of various types and thicknesses.
Metal supplies to the Amur Shipyard began back in 2021. 92 strip wagons of rolled steel of non-standard size were accepted by the ASZ for processing. Thanks to the launch into production in 2019 of the latest technological line of shot-blasting cleaning and preservation of rolled metal, the plant has become the only enterprise in the Far East capable of quickly, efficiently and with the use of modern technologies to clean and paint rolled metal for the needs of both shipbuilding and other production.
The decision taken in favor of providing the shipbuilding complex with domestic metal allowed the Amur Shipyard to use the latest equipment at full capacity and bring considerable benefit to the enterprise, the USC press service reports,
