We are glad to welcome you on the site of the Design Office for Ship Design “Vympel” that marked by celebration of its 80-years anniversary in 2010. During this time more than 6500 ships and floating engineering installations were built by projects of the DO “Vympel”. The DO “Vympel” is in one of the largest shipbuilding centres of the Russia – the Nizhny Novgorod town – and specialized in design and engineering service of the construction of ships of various class and purpose, namely:

  • tankers for carriage of oil, oil products and chemicals;
  • multi-purpose dray cargo transport ships;
  • railway and car/passenger ferries;
  • floating facilities for shelf development;
  • passenger ships and air-cushion vessels;
  • technical service ships;
  • auxiliary and special-purpose vessels for the Navy;
  • nuclear technology maintenance vessels;
  • research vessels;
  • bridge-ferrying facilities for the demands of the RF Ministry of Defence and floating bridges.
  • DO “Vympel”’ specialists, in their work, apply widely current technologies of computer three-dimensional design on the basis of computer-aided design system «AVEVA Marine», providing parallel development of a three-dimensional model of ship in real time in all marine specializations.

    The OJSC DO “Vympel” – is really a sole design organization having available model testing station with 50m length basin, fitted with up-to-date measuring system and service programs for carrying out hydrodynamic tests of self-propelled and non-propelled ship models and processing results in the experiment time.

    Integrating the best design strength and methods the DO “Vympel” takes an active part in various large-scale national and foreign projects..
