The Leningrad shipyard "Pella" at the international military-technical forum "Army-2015" for the first time presented projects of an icebreaker and a patrol vessel for the Arctic. "This is a new development, we have not shown them anywhere before," a FlotProm correspondent was told at the company's stand.
If ordered, the vessels can be built at the new plant complex, which was built in the Leningrad region, or at the Pella shipyard in Germany. It is worth noting that the “Arctic vessel” project has space for installing an artillery mount, and according to naval terminology, all armed vessels are called ships.

NEW PRODUCTION OF PELLA OJSC 
Today it is difficult to see completely new production in shipbuilding; most enterprises in the industry have remained virtually frozen since Soviet times. Only recently has movement begun, money is being allocated, modernization is underway. And when you come to a typical enterprise of the domestic shipbuilding complex, you can observe industrial buildings of different eras, from the “tsarist” time, the Soviet period to new advanced technologies. And now we were able to see a modern shipbuilding complex that meets the most advanced world standards, which was built from scratch - this is the new site of the Leningrad shipbuilding plant "Pella" in Otradny-Saperny.
The new site of the Pella enterprise, which will allow a sharp increase in the output of finished products - ships and vessels, creates the most favorable impressions, here everything is new and harmoniously combined into a production and technological complex, starting from the administrative building with a canteen, utility rooms and, of course, to production workshops . The star of the entire complex is an indoor boathouse with several slipways, where the “birth” of ships and vessels of the modern Russian fleet will take place. Outwardly, it resembles its older brother - the boathouse of the old site of Pella OJSC in Otradnoye, but only externally, in fact, the new place for the construction of ships is many times larger than the old analogue.
The layout of the new compact shipyard can significantly reduce the time spent on logistics - there is a straight-line continuous movement of metal and ship structures, there are no unnecessary transfers of parts from workshop to workshop. The development of the design capacity of the new shipbuilding complex will allow the plant to continue increasing production volumes, which traditionally amount to at least 15% per year. The estimated annual load of the new complex will ultimately amount to 8–10 billion rubles of products per year, which will ensure that the presence of Pella products on the Russian market is at least 20% of the total volume of vessels for similar purposes.
The new complex will create 1,500 new jobs in the region, which is quite important in the conditions of the Leningrad region. The production volume of sea vessels, taking into account the capacity of the new plant complex, will amount to 12 billion rubles. in year. This means that over the 5 years from 2013 to 2018, the production output of the Pella plant will increase 3 times.
At the new facilities, the laying of 6 vessel hulls has already been carried out, including the Arctic class, three of which have already been launched.
We can conclude that there is a good future ahead for the “old” shipbuilding enterprise in the Leningrad region.

LAYING OF MRK “BURYA” PROJECT 22800 AT JSC “PELLA”. 12/24/2016 
On December 24, 2016, at the Pella shipbuilding enterprise in St. Petersburg (Otradnoe), a new generation small missile ship (serial number 257) of Project 22800 was laid down for the Russian Navy. By order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, the ship was given the name “ Storm".
The event was attended by Chief of the Main Staff of the Navy Vice Admiral Andrei Volozhinsky, Deputy Head of the Navy Shipbuilding Department Mikhail Krasnopeev, Chief Designer of Project 22800 Dmitry Tsymlyakov, Director of the new Pella shipbuilding complex Oleg Kononov, Deputy General Director of Pella Sergei Kukhtik.
“It is impossible to underestimate the importance of this ship for the Navy. The experience of building small missile ships is the experience of the mature shipbuilding of the Soviet Union, the cost-to-efficiency ratio on these ships was achieved to the maximum, said Chief of the Main Staff of the Navy, Vice Admiral Andrei Volozhinsky after the laying ceremony. “Such ships, recently tested in combat conditions, have proven their effectiveness in the Mediterranean Sea. The arrival of such ships is a long-awaited event; the fleet needs them.”
As Volozhinsky explained, ships of this class were in all fleets, their divisions were always called “bad weather” divisions, and the tradition of naming ships in honor of those who served their time with dignity and completed the task was preserved. The lead ship of the series of small missile ships of Project 1234 of the Soviet Navy was called exactly that - “Storm”.
It was also noted that the idea of using warships of this class - small missile ships - was approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy, Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei Gorshkov.
Designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau, Project 22800 MRKs will have a displacement of about 800 tons and a speed of over 30 knots. Small missile ships will be equipped with a complex of high-precision missile weapons of the Kalibr-NK type and modern artillery systems. Among the advantages of these ships are high maneuverability, increased seaworthiness, as well as superstructure and hull architecture made using low-reflectivity technologies. The ships will be able to carry out tasks in the sea zone at a distance of about 3,000 miles from bases.
At the Pella enterprise, three new-generation small missiles are already at various stages of construction - Hurricane, Typhoon and Shkval.
It is interesting to note that on the laid down ship “Burya”, on the superstructure in the stern, instead of 30-mm artillery machine guns of the AK-630M type, it is planned to install the “Pantsir” SAM system, this is clearly visible on the laying board and poster.
18 small missile ships of the new generation of Project 22800 will be built for the Russian Navy until 2022, said Vice Admiral Andrei Volozhinsky, Chief of the Main Staff of the Navy.
The construction of Project 22800 small missile ships is carried out in accordance with the State Military Shipbuilding Program with the aim of updating the surface component of the Navy.

The expedition to the enterprises of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region has taken place! From November 21 to 26, I visited a dozen different enterprises in the Northern capital and its environs, where I was lucky enough to not only make photo reports, but also interview them. The first enterprise that I inspected was the Leningrad shipyard "Pella", located in the city of Otradnoye. This is what we will talk about today.
The main products of the Pella plant are new generation tugs, modern, comfortable and reliable, because they work successfully in all major ports and naval bases of Russia. Individual specimens can be found abroad: in Latvia, Lithuania, even in Italy.
Almost every one of my Severodvinsk reports features a tugboat manufactured by Pella. The tugboats of the Northern Fleet "Viktor Tikhonov" and "Anatoly Tarasov", as well as the tugboat of the Severodvinsk enterprise "Zvezdochka" "Alexander Zryachev" are real "workhorses" and perform the most difficult tasks, including the removal of ships under construction and repair from the waters of the enterprises "Zvezdochka" ", "Sevmash" and the Belomorsk naval base.
The company is located on two sites - old and new. The old one is located on the territory of the former Pellina Palace, where the plant management, the engineering division "Pella-Mash" and "Pella-Fiord" (fiberglass shipbuilding) are located. The new site is located on the border of the city and the region in the village of Sapernoye.
The old site is located on the territory of the former Pellinsky Palace, built under Catherine II. Today, all that remains of the palace, dismantled to its foundations by order of Paul I, is the carriage stable building and the outbuilding of the Postal Station.
4. Carriage stable building and outbuilding of the Postal Station of the Pellina Palace complex.
In the 30s of the twentieth century, a trailer plant of the USSR Ministry of Forestry Industry was built on this territory, and in 1950 shipbuilding production was organized there, after which the main products of the plant became tugboats, speedboats, pilot boats and other small vessels.
In 1957, the enterprise was renamed the Leningrad Ship Mechanical Plant. The enterprise's capacity has grown over time, and new directions have been developed. Thus, in the 1960s, a new direction, fiberglass shipbuilding, appeared at the plant. The first examples of such vessels were the Nadezhda catchers for the Vostok fishing base, hydrographic vessels of the Kaira type, Bekas workboats, and light vessels of all domestic deep-sea vehicles for exploring the World Ocean.
5. Boat of project LM 4-87.
In 1965, the enterprise, as a pilot production facility, was transferred to the Central Research Institute of Shipbuilding Technology, and its historical name "Pella" was returned to it - the Leningrad Shipyard "Pella".
Since the 70s, with the direct participation of the Central Scientific Research Institute of Customs Union, the production of technological equipment for the shipbuilding industry has been mastered: painting machines, pipe bending machines, thermal metal cutting machines.
In 1992, the enterprise was privatized and became an open joint-stock company "Leningrad Shipbuilding Plant "Pella" (since 06/21/1996 - Open Joint-Stock Company "Leningrad Shipbuilding Plant "Pella").
In 2012, construction began on a new site in the village of Saperny, thanks to which it became possible to build ships and vessels with greater length and draft and with more convenient launching.
6. New shipbuilding complex "Pella".
In 2016, the company was leased the property of the Feodosia shipbuilding plant "More" (Crimea).
Today, Pella is a joint-stock company, which includes 8 subsidiaries and affiliates, owning a territory of 33 hectares and assets sufficient to conduct a successful business.

9. Inside the body assembly shop.
10. Factory administration building. Also inside there is a dining room and a first-aid post with a massage room. Behind there is a whole network of metalworking and machine tool assembly workshops.
After the large structure is assembled, it is transported to the workshop near the outfitting embankment. Finished blocks are transported from the hull assembly shop to the boathouse, where the finished hull is assembled from the blocks.
After the ship's hull is completed, it begins to be equipped with equipment and painted.
11. Project 16609 tug
The vessel is launched using trolleys and a transborder.
12. Construction of a tugboat of project PE65. The transborder rails are visible on the left.
Then the tug, in a high degree of readiness, is brought out on slipway trolleys to the site and lowered into the water along an inclined slipway.

16. Random guests.
On the existing territory of the plant, there are restrictions on the draft of ships under construction of no more than 3.54 m due to the rapids on the Neva fairway. Therefore, now the plant has the ability to build technical fleet vessels: tugs, pilot boats and other special vessels, with a draft of no more than 4 m and a length of up to 50 m in the amount of 12 - 15 units. in year. Of these, the plant annually produces at least 5–9 vessels according to government orders from various federal departments.

And boats, ZAO Polinom, a manufacturer of products made from polymer materials, as well as its subsidiary, OAO Pella-Mash, a manufacturer of industrial equipment.
Story
In the 30s of the 20th century, a trailer plant of the Ministry of Forestry Industry was built on this territory. After the Great Patriotic War, the plant was restored and renamed Leningrad Mechanical Plant No. 4.
Achievements
The Pella plant became the first Russian shipbuilding enterprise to be invited as a participant to the international exhibition of small-tonnage shipbuilding Tug & Salvage Convention and Exhibition in Rotterdam.
Products
One of the types of ships being built en masse at the plant’s shipyards are Project 90600 tugs.
In 2006, two such modern azimuthal-type tugboats were built - “Beluga” and “Navaga”, which became the beginning of the port fleet of the “Ust-Luga company”.
In May 2012, construction began on a series of resource-saving fishing vessels of Project PL-475. Its prototype is the Norwegian longline fishing vessel of the GIER-II type. The peculiarity of a longline fishing vessel is that it does not throw out nets, which crush and spoil a lot of fish, but throws out 50 thousand special hooks at a time. The length of the vessel is 47.5 meters, width - 12 meters, draft 5 meters, refrigerated hold volume - 500 cubic meters. The propulsion power of the vessel is 1.6 thousand horsepower. Completion of construction of the first vessel of the series is scheduled for the end of 2012. In the future, it is planned to produce 2-3 vessels of this project per year. It is expected that longline fishing vessels will be able to operate effectively not only in the Barents Sea, but also in other basins.
In 2013, the first patrol boat of Project 03160 “Raptor” was built at the plant. The Raptor patrol boat was designed with the participation of the developer of the original project - the company Dockstavarvet.
On December 24, 2015, the first two in a series of small missile ships of Project 22800 “Karakurt” were laid down - “Hurricane” and “Typhoon” - the main weapons of which are “Caliber” cruise missiles.
On December 24, 2016, the Chief of the Main Staff of the Navy, Vice Admiral Andrei Volozhinsky, announced that the Pella plant will build 18 small missile ships of the new generation of project 22800 "Karakurt" for the Russian Navy until 2022.
Prospects
In 2011, the enterprise, in agreement with regional authorities, purchased a plot of land with an area of about 20 hectares on the banks of the Neva River in the city of Otradnoye, Kirov District, Leningrad Region - 3 km downstream from the existing Pella site.
There are no restrictions on rapids on the new section of the Neva River, so Pella plans to organize serial construction and launching there of up to 10 sea vessels per year, up to 100 m long, up to 22 m wide, with a draft of up to 6 m.
Including:
- special vessels of the technical fleet: high-power tugs with reinforced ice class, hydrographic and other special vessels, including for ensuring the operation of infrastructure facilities of the Northern Sea Route;
- vessels of the fishing fleet (vessels for longline fishing of ground fish, mid-water trawlers, research vessels for industry institutes of the Federal Agency for Fisheries)
The new complex will create 1,500 new jobs in the region. The production volume of sea vessels, taking into account the capacity of the new plant complex, will amount to 12 billion rubles per year. A portfolio of orders for the construction in 2014-2016 of the first series of technical and fishing fleet vessels (up to 80 m or more in length) has been formed and agreed upon with the Customers.
The planned commissioning of production workshops at the new site is the 4th quarter of 2014, reaching the design capacity of the complex is the beginning of 2018. The production of sea vessels should increase annually, and accordingly from 2015 will be 2-4-6-8 units. The estimated annual load of the new complex will ultimately amount to 8 - 10 billion rubles. products per year, which will amount to up to 20% of the total volume of vessels for similar purposes on the Russian market.
On February 10, 2014, Terraline GmbH, a subsidiary of the Hamburg plant, acquired the Hamburg shipyard Sietas.
In 2015-2016, information appeared in the press that the company intends to invest in the modernization of the Feodosia shipbuilding plant “More”, which will be involved in the construction of ships and boats of the same series as Pella as part of the state defense order. According to other information, Pella claimed to transfer the plant’s property to its subsidiary legal entity, which caused a sharp negative reaction from the staff of the Feodosia enterprise and some deputies of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea.

St. Petersburg is multifaceted in its manifestations. All of Russia is rightfully proud of the Leningrad shipyards. It’s good that many enterprises remain true to their traditions, continue to be leaders in their segment and expand their sphere of influence. The Pella shipyard holds the lead in the construction of tugboats and is successfully mastering the production of oceanographic vessels and other technologically advanced vessels.
Story
OJSC "Pella" is a shipbuilding enterprise located in the city of Otradnoye, Leningrad Region. The territory it occupies previously belonged to the park area of the Pellina Palace. The plant was founded and built by decree of Catherine II; all that remained of the magnificent ensemble was the postal yard and stables. The damage was caused not by time and human carelessness, but by war. Currently, the buildings are monuments and are protected by the state.
After the revolution, or rather in the 30s, the USSR Ministry of Forestry Industry erected buildings on the site of the gardens. After the blockade was lifted and the end of the Great Patriotic War, the enterprise resumed operations, the workshops were restored and a new name was received - Leningrad Mechanical Plant No. 4.
The Pella shipyard was founded in 1950 and is currently one of the flagships of small-tonnage shipbuilding. The company specializes in the production of tugboats (pushers, handlers, escorts), pilot vessels, boats, equipment and tools.
Company's mission
The Leningrad shipyard "Pella" sees its mission in the comprehensive fulfillment of its obligations. The company believes that products leaving the plant’s shipyards must be of only high quality and meet Russian and European standards. An equally important part of the work is the implementation of all the customer’s wishes, as well as the fulfillment of all contractual obligations.
In production, we take a great deal of responsibility to fulfilling orders within the agreed time frame, as well as to financial settlement options that are convenient for customers. Attention to detail, high-quality execution of orders within the agreed time frame and many other nuances of work allow the company not only to maintain profitability, but also to receive government orders in times of crisis.
Products
The Pella shipyard was privatized in 1992 and received the status of an open joint stock company. The main products produced remain in traditional areas:
- Shipbuilding. Products are supplied to Russian customers and exported to near and far abroad. The leader in production is pilot boats. New directions have been mastered - tilt tugs, pusher tugs, escort tugs, vessels for various purposes (including for the Russian Navy).
- Production of fiberglass. This line specializes in the production of lifeboats designed for launching by cables, free-fall boats, as well as structures made of composite materials. An additional production line is launching and lifting mechanisms for fiberglass boats, and the production of technologically advanced pleasure boats “Pella-Fiord”.
- Industrial engineering. The company produces plasma cutting machines used for automatic cutting of rolled metal sheets. Leningrad shipyard "Pella" is the only enterprise producing such equipment. As part of mechanical engineering production, a series is produced for hot and cold processing of pipes. Also manufactured are devices of the “Luch” and “Effect” series, intended for painting work using the airless spray method.
Company structure
Pella is a shipbuilding plant (Otradnoye), which has a holding management structure. The main legal entity unites the independent units of subsidiaries. This allows the company to build a clear technological chain within the enterprise. Each of the subordinate subsidiaries has a certain degree of freedom in receiving orders, distributing profits, and concentrating resources.
The structure of the company:
- OJSC "Pella-Mash", area of activity - mechanical engineering.
- JSC "Pella-Fiord", type of activity - fiberglass shipbuilding.
- LLC "Aris", specialization - finishing, painting of ships.
- JSC "Intro-Pella" and "Pella Sietas GmbH" are engaged in shipbuilding.
- Promenergo LLC, area of activity - energy.
- LLC "Nemo", field of activity - electrical installation.
- Pella-design LLC is a creative enterprise focused on design and design.
- Perseus-Pella LLC is a subsidiary company engaged in fishing activities.
Prospects
In 2011, the Pella shipyard acquired an additional 20 hectares of area in the Leningrad region for the construction of production facilities. The territory is located three kilometers below the existing enterprise. The following are being built in the new workshops:
- Technical vessels (tugs for working in ice, hydrographic vessels, specialized vessels for working in infrastructure
- Fishing vessels (trawlers for fishing at different depths, vessels for various institutes of Rosrybolovstvo, etc.).
The enterprise should reach its design capacity in 2018; the planned financial turnover will be approximately from 8 to 10 billion rubles per year. The main areas of activity are mechanical engineering and shipbuilding. Since 2015, the company began production of defense vessels of the Karakurt project, which are armed with Caliber class cruise missiles.
Implementation of plans
The new Pella shipyard is actively operating. In 2016, within the framework of the Forum of Strategic Initiatives, LSZ Pella presented several new projects and modernized serial products. The greatest interest was generated by a fishing vessel and a multi-purpose rescue tug. The project of the company's new shipbuilding complex, as well as the concept development of a series (freezing trawler, processor trawler, crab fishing vessel, etc.) received feedback.
At the end of July 2016, the plant laid down the third small-displacement missile ship of the Shkval series; it is intended for the Russian Navy. As part of this cooperation, it is planned to produce a universal sea tanker and a technical vessel of Project 23120M (killer). According to some media reports, the construction of these facilities will take place at the company's foreign shipyards (Hamburg, a subsidiary of Pella Sietas GmbH).
In September 2016, the enterprise laid down the keel of a new oceanographic research vessel, Akademik Ageev, and also launched several serial tugboats that received home ports and owners. All vessels undergo appropriate certification and classification of domestic/foreign societies.
Crimean expansion
Crimean shipyards have remained without proper support for a long time and today are in dire need of investment. According to some information, the Pella shipyard claimed the opportunity to reorganize and make investments in the More plant (Feodosia). The decision to invest was related to the implementation by the Feodosia enterprise of a military defense order for the construction of ships of the same class that are produced by the Pella LSZ.
The deal was opposed by the trade union of workers at the More plant, which wanted to preserve the state form of ownership, since information had surfaced about the transfer of the enterprise to the jurisdiction of a subsidiary of Pella OJSC. However, the parties reached certain agreements. There is no information about the details yet, but the initial stage of reconstruction of the Feodosia shipyard is already underway. Plans include dredging activities in the bay, renovation of production facilities and other restoration work. The reconstruction plan lasts until 2020.
Administration
The main shareholder of the company is Tsaturov Herbert Robertovich (59.66% of shares). Since 1992, he has been the general director of the Pella plant.
The company is located at the address: Leningrad region, Kirovsky district, Otradnoye city, Tsentralnaya street, building 4.
