Excursion to Moscow Shipyard

Today we go to the territory of a single shipyard in Moscow. The factory has been around for a long time (founded in 1936) and produced more than 1,800 different vessels. I suggest you take a tour of the enterprise and learn how to build and repair boats, yachts and river vessels.




In 90 years, the company, like many others are in crisis and have been under threat of closure, but gradually the situation at the plant has improved, increased orders, and now is a successful manufacturer of diverse vessels from boats for the Navy and river boats to luxury yachts.
Let's look into the shop and see with their own eyes how the ships are born.



In the background you can see situational ship in the final stage of construction.





In total there are three vessels in various stages of construction.
This is almost ready, soon we will visit inside the ship and see the look of his cabin.







And this ship is only the beginning.









Soviet slogans do not faded over the decades. Maybe they have updated?





And this detail for one of the yachts being built on the street, we'll see it later.





The next workshop is also being built situational court, they are intended for placement of buoys on the water.
Boarding the ship is cut from the sheets of special, marine steel, resistant to sea water including.



Note the different thicknesses of steel sheets. The one that is thinner for the production of ships that will go to the river with a temperate climate, the steel is thicker on ships that will sail the Siberian rivers so that they can break the ice, which is formed during the navigation.



Again situational ship in the final stages of construction. Next comes painting and installation of equipment, etc.



Pay attention to the spelling of the word «Moscow» on the gate and on the shop welder overalls).



A little further seen offshore boats that are being built by order of the Russian Navy. Approaching them closer.



Small parts on racks for different parts of the boat.



Here you can see three boats in various stages of construction. They are built at the same time, as well as the three situational vessel.
This can be said in the initial stage.









The second is almost ready.



And the third is already covered with primer. Incidentally cutters do not made of steel, and almost completely from aluminum that it weighed less, were more easily and quickly.





At the factory and from the welded hulls, all the stuffing comes from other manufacturers, but immediately set at the factory, all the way down to the furniture.





At this stage, it can be seen that the housing has no holes for the screws.



Here they already have.



It looks like the shop.



Now go out into the fresh air and look around, look at the ships that are on the slips (later explain it), look at the slipways (explained later) and see the ship Putin.
But first it is necessary to fulfill his promise, and look inside the vessel situational.
So uncomplicated referred to some of them. The ship way will be partially dismantled and sent to its customers by rail.



Climb aboard.





Let's go down.



A little cramped, but quite cozy for a small crew. And one more fact - on the situational courts made all the conditions for accommodation and lodging during the work, and the Navy boats such conditions there, they are not designed for long-distance trips, only to serve large warships.





Right and left some cabins.



There is very little space.



A little further on a couple of beds.







Exit back to lie on the grass mysterious ingots, does anyone know what this is?







Another riverboat, also not for the passengers, but also river buses at this plant also built.





Under this canopy covered with polyethylene also discussed work, I did not go inside.



Head over to the place with the mysterious name "shed". No, it's not a place where elves apartments, this place anchorage, including in the winter. Yacht owners may leave their ships to spend the winter here, however if you have a metal enclosure. Yachts with plastic housing rise from the water and stored in a dry dock, because ice can deform the body.



The rest of the boathouse can be used as a simple dock. Now here are ready situational ship and boat, the first three stages of construction which we have already seen.



Here's a nice orange coloring.





Where ships are brought to mind, checked all the nodes, aggregates.





The following are two dock ready situational vessel.



Here is the same - preparing the ships for delivery to the customer.







We look back. On the fate of the white yachts I'll explain later.



This luxurious yacht has been built here, the Moscow Shipyard specifically for Vladimir Putin during his second term. He used it for long, later gave Balaam, more precisely to the ship carried the official delegation to the island.



Where the ship is on prevention.







These river boats are for preventive maintenance.



The fate of these yachts is not yet clear. They were built by order of a few years ago, but at some stage of construction ceased: whether the customer ran out of money, then he changed his mind, but since then these white beauties are in the waters of the river waiting for their new owners. By the way, all the stages of construction until the failure of the yachts were paid for, so here are being built all the ship - separately each stage of construction of vessel.



Yachts are covered with polyethylene that the weather is not finished off the works of shipbuilders. These yachts are built, and the like on the Dutch technologies and drawings. In the early 2000s, the plant's management sent its experts for training in the Netherlands, where they took over the experience, which is now used here.
If you want to order a similar boat, prepare to shell out 20 million euros. Of course, not all boats are so, only suites.



On the quay rubber sausages on chains, so that when the mooring of the vessel does not beat against the shore.



Another fact - the length of all vehicles produced by the Moscow Shipyard is limited to 47 meters, because the width of the river at the shipyard just 50 meters away. If the vessel is longer, it will be physically impossible to pull on the water, it just stuck. To repair the court accepted and no longer than 47 meters.



In this yacht the same fate as those two, but this is not even reached the stage of painting.



White yacht in the distance also conserved. But I'll tell you about the rightmost ship.



This riverboat, which may rode many who visited Moscow. Now it is being repaired. The vessel is probably more than a decade, but the owners of such vessels (various shipping companies and private operators) prefer to repair the ships and use it until the end, instead of a new book - it is cheaper.



About the trolley I will tell later.



This building has two halls, each built ships.





The ship is very interesting name. Perhaps the story of the ship and not less interesting.



Come closer and find out what does work.



For these special rail trolley down into the water, so the ship could get to them. Hot trolleys powerful mechanism is pulled out of the water, and a place where the ship is called slip.



From a distance, it is not clear that from the bottom, come closer.



It looks like a sunflower.



Even closer, is bivalves, but very small, the size of a fingernail.



The bottom is completely littered with them. Soon it will be cleared by the nomads of water, will be identified more leaky places, and those places where there is a threat of Education hole patches will be made, though at first the problem areas will be cut. Despite the fact that the body is made of steel and the sea, it is not eternal, and gradually wears out, because vessels in need of care and repair, which is provided by the factory.





You can repair the ship was built at the plant as well as any other.





The screws are removed and the bottom part has tipped from shellfish.







Pay attention to the trolley.













Another small fact: everyone knows that cars on the housing and on the motor has a unique number from which they are released to manufacturing. Do they ship too, but for what you will not find them, because the data plate is laid at the base of the vessel keel.



In this booth, and it is the same mechanism that pulls the cable system ship. Pay attention to the cable.















Here are the best trucks are called Keelblock. For each type of vessel, its keel blocks, which are designed for different weight. These small mechanisms and keep the Hulk.









Now take a look at the warehouse. We met a skeleton Pegasus, how he got here - a mystery.



Here is all that will continue to be used to build a ship or yacht.



Including engines.



Our tour came to an end, we say goodbye to Pegasus.







Here are the very same boat, in finished form.





Log in to the enterprise from the street.
