The Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard is ready to revive execution of defense contracts, subject to their conclusion, the yard’s director Mikhail Pershin told Mil.Press Today at the press conference on the year’s results of United Shipbuilding Corporation held on December 9.

"We’ve retained expertise, for example, in Project 636 Varshavyanka-class submarines. Our staff is still employed, too. Sure, not in the amount we used to have in the past, but in case of the relevant orders, we can prepare for construction of diesel subs within a year", assured Pershin.

Established in 1849, Krasnoye Sormovo is one of the Russia’s oldest shipyards. Over the Soviet period, the company had built and modernized over 300 submarines and rescue vehicles, including 25 nuclear-powered ones. Currently, the yard builds commercial ships qualifying for requirements of international conventions in terms of reliability and safety.
