8. The JSC “Vostochnaya Verf” (Vladivostok) proceeds with the construction of small hydrographic vessels, pr. 19910.
In 2010, the OJSC DO «Vympel» developed in short time the engineering design of 3100 dwt tanker for the OJSC “NK Rosneft” as the Customer. The design was approved by Russian Maritime Register of Shipping without observations. As the order contractor there is the OJSC “United Shipbuilding Corporation”.
The OJSC DO «Vympel” developed the outline design of a bunkering tanker 1200 dwt under order of the OJSC «GMK Norilsky Nikel»; as shipbuilding plant is the OJSC “Krasnoyarsk ship repairing yard». The design work is in progress and at that time the OJSC DO «Vympel» finishes the development of the engineering design of the ship.
According to the contract with OJSC «DCSS» the Design Office «Вымпел» developed the engineering detail design of a tanker (pr. 00212), which is now in the approval stage.
Moreover, the DO «Vympel» prepared the preliminary outline design of a floating nuclear electric power plant of 100 МW power on the basis of reactor unit RITM-200 for electric power supply to the areas which are removal from electric power sources.
In the field of the federal purpose-oriented program the Design Office «Vympel» was invited as the Contractor by the A.N.Krylov CNII organization to develop the conceptual design of a «CNG gas carrier» to transport natural gas in pressure containers from areas of sea production to heavy consumers.
In 2010, the OJSC DO «Vympel» placed a contract with the Ship Repairing Centre «Zvezdochka» (branch «Astrakhan Ship Repairing Plant», Astrakhan) for delivery of the complete set of technical documentation required for the construction of a salvage-and-rescue vessel, pr. 22870, for the Navy; the vessel commissioning is planned in 2013.
The DO «Vympel» broadened its design backlog for the perspective; the following design studies were prepared:
research vessels to carry out research activities in the world-wide ocean;
oil recovery/supply vessel;
diving, rescue/fire-fighting and hospital boats;
tugs;
bunkering tankers of 1100 to 6000 dwt;
car/passenger ferries.
In November 2010, the OJSC DO «Vympel» celebrated its 80-year anniversary.
Representatives of Federal Boards, Nizhny Novgorod administration, Classification Societies, «Caspian Energy» group, as well as representatives of Customers, research institutes and partner organizations took part in the official meeting. More that 50 employees of the Design Office received various rewards
