The share of shipbuilding enterprises exceeds 60% in the total product output of St. Petersburg defense enterprises; amount of export orders in the shipyards’ production plans makes 80-90% in average. The competitive edge of St. Petersburg in shipbuilding is ensured by operation of 57 companies, including 27 manufacturing enterprises, 30 R&D organizations (40% of the total capacity of the industry and 85% of the related R&D potential of Russia). The industrial companies’ results are generally determined by the output of shipyards. Among the latter are: FSUE Admiralty Shipyards (about 20% of the total production capacity), OJSC the Northern Shipyard (18%), OJSC Baltiysky Zavod (15%), OJSC Almaz Shipbuilding Company (ca. 11%). These enterprises build not only destroyers, submarines or gunboats, but also vessels
13 for merchant marine: huge tankers, rescue ships, cargo and passenger ferries and vessels of other classes. Production achievements of the shipyards are largely dependent on their cooperation with St. Petersburg shipbuilding design and R&D organizations. The most widely known of them are FSUE CDB ME Rubin, FSUE SPMD Bureau Malachite, FSUE CMDB Almaz, FSUE Severnoye PKB, FSUE Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute, FSUE CSRI Elektropribor. Designers of different types of naval ships in demand by the Russian and foreign navies, they often produce high-tech commercial and civil destination designs. Pursuant to the President of the Russian Federation Decree No. 394 as of 21.03.2007, an Open Joint Stock Company Obyedinennaya Sudostroitelnaya Korporatsiya (United Shipbuilding Corporation) was established with the purpose to restructure the national shipbuilding industry.
The St. Petersburg subsidiary of this corporation will be set up as an Open Joint Stock Company Western Shipbuilding Center, bringing together FSUE Admiralteiskiye Verfi (Admiralty Shipyards), OJSC Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard), and FSUE Sredne-Nevsky Sudostroitelny Zavod (Mid-Neva Shipbuilding Plant).
In the result of this of the reforms undertaken:
the basic production assets of shipbuilding companies will be renewed due to retooling and modernization, which will make it possible to increase the output of competitive products; innovative activities at the companies of the industry will grow, and market-oriented business structures of new generation will be formed in the shipbuilding industry, with a higher R&D potential; input of St. Petersburg shipbuilders in the growth of the Gross Regional Product will increase, due to higher growth rates of the shipbuilding products output and expansion of high-technology exports.
