The plant employs a highly qualified professional team, currently numbering about four thousand people. The accumulated wealth of experience and the use of advanced technologies allow DVZ "Zvezda" to use the technological capabilities and developed infrastructure of auxiliary production for the successful repair of ships and vessels, the construction of civil vessels, the disposal of end-of-life ships and vessels, the manufacture various types metal structures, various products, both ship and general mechanical engineering, non-standard equipment, accessories and tools.

History of the plant

Factory and people

Plant No. 892

July 9, 1946 Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry Soviet Union decided to build plant number 892, intended for the repair of ships and vessels in the Far Eastern region. An expedition of the Leningrad GSPI headed to Primorye - determine the place and begin research papers. This place became Bolshoi Kamen Bay and the adjacent territory. True, it turned out to be inconvenient due to the shallow depth. Work on filling the soil has been carried out for several years. Industrial buildings were built on the territory reclaimed from the sea. At the same time, we worked on deepening the bottom. The construction commissioner was appointed Feodosius Maksimovich Rusetsky.

In November 1954 he was appointed director of the new plant. Stepan Ivanovich Lebedev. An experienced production worker, a skilled organizer, he was a demanding and principled person. Feodosius Maksimovich Rusetsky took the position of deputy plant for capital construction, where he worked for more than 15 years.
On December 3, 1954, the enterprise began implementing the production program. This day is considered the plant’s birthday. We started with the repair of small vessels: boats, boats, hunting schooners, medium-sized fishing trawlers.

First production division became workshop No. 15, which was located in the current block of auxiliary workshops. It fell to organize the work of the workshop Ivan Ivanovich Khakhulin. At that time, about 400 people worked here. different specialties. With the growth of production volumes, the plant introduced new buildings every year, and separate divisions were separated from the 15th workshop.

When a tired submarine...

At the end of the 50s, the plant began repairing diesel-electric submarines and surface ships Pacific Fleet. Since that time, the main task of the enterprise for many years has been to maintain the country's defense capability.

In November 1957, the first boat arrived for repairs. Builder supervised the renovation Alexander Ivanovich Kazantsev. At that time, large orders had to be repaired afloat; the plant did not have dock equipment. Small civilian vessels were pulled onto open slipways using a bulldozer or winches. On diesel submarines, underwater work was carried out using a caisson method, which was associated with a certain risk. In 1963, the docking chamber was put into operation, and the repair process went faster.

On May 12, 1962, the first nuclear submarine. The main question we started with was the specialization of workshops and departments. Pipe-mednitsk workshop No. 19 was created (on one nuclear submarine, the length of all pipes is about 24 kilometers). Assembly workshop No. 16 was put into operation. And with the separation of a separate production from its structure - workshop No. 11, the long-standing dream of all ship repairers came true: the organization of unit repairs. Specialized production sites, equipped with stands that allowed for adjustment and testing of all nuclear submarine mechanisms. A lot of strength, energy, and sometimes ordinary ingenuity was invested in the creation of this workshop by its first boss Alexey Elizarovich Korostelov.

One of the important aspects of ship repair is carrying out precise measurements during production process. Therefore, a central factory laboratory was created at Zvezda. In 1967, he was appointed head of the Central Laboratory Grigory Romanovich Pavlenko. The Central Laboratory consists of several specialized laboratories. The equipment used here is the most accurate and advanced. All laboratories have passed certification, accreditation and licensing in supervisory authorities Russia.

To provide plant departments design documentation and solving technical issues, design department No. 40 was organized. Joseph Berovich Lando headed the department for the longest time: from 1976 to 2003.

Rising star of ship repair

The need for the Pacific Fleet to repair nuclear submarines increased from year to year, and the plant was called upon to play a major role in this. In 1964 he was appointed director of the plant Vladimir Ivanovich Kushlin, and two years later Veniamin Pavlovich Dolgov became the chief engineer. Before that, both of them were employees of the Komsomolsk Shipbuilding Plant, they knew the organization and technology of shipbuilding well, and were directly involved in the construction of nuclear submarines.

Soon the plant received a name. During the next visit, the Minister of Shipbuilding Industry of the USSR Boris Evstafievich Butoma called the plant a rising star in ship repair. With him light hand In 1968, the Far Eastern Shipyard was officially renamed the Far Eastern Shipyard "Zvezda".
The plant began implementing an automatic production management system. In December 1972, the first computer appeared on Zvezda domestic production"Minsk-32".

Keeping up with the times, the plant mastered the production of goods consumer consumption. At the same time, products such as kitchen set and upholstered furniture have received universal recognition and are enjoyed in great demand: original design, branded execution, standard and custom-made furniture. Currently, workshop 17 is engaged in the production of consumer goods.

The eyes are afraid, but the hands do

In 1976, dock and slipway workshop No. 10 was separated from the hull 12th workshop, which began to carry out operations for lifting and lowering orders to the water. In the same year, a unique technical structure was built - the first boathouse. This building made it possible to put a submarine and surface vessels on a covered slipway, which made it possible to carry out repairs all year round, regardless of the weather. Five years later, a second boathouse was built, larger in size. The slipways provide all the systems necessary to carry out repairs and modernization of ships. In 1980, the Pallada floating dock, built in Kherson, came into operation. At the same time, a transfer slipway and a transborder were built, which together constitute a unique ship-lifting complex that allows lifting and moving ships with a dock weight of up to 13,500 tons.

The year 1978, in fact, became the first serious test of the plant’s technical and organizational readiness to fulfill its main task- serial repair of nuclear submarines.

What should we build a city?

A significant event in the life of the city was the construction and commissioning of the central plant boiler house. Difficult situation developed with the heat supply of the plant and provision of its production needs. The plant was supplied with steam and hot water from a temporary boiler room. And the “heater” was an old steam locomotive, decommissioned due to its antiquity. At the end of the 60s, responsibility for the heat supply of the village was assigned to the energy-mechanical department and the power shop of the plant. The construction and commissioning of the central plant boiler house made it possible to establish uninterrupted heating for the village and the plant.

A factory was being built, and a workers' settlement was also being built. In the seventies, a Sports Palace with a swimming pool was built. About two dozen different sections worked here, and summer and winter sports competitions were regularly held. The Factory Palace of Culture hosted adults and children. Creative groups performed in workshops, on propaganda sites, in villages, and military units.

Factory and city clinics with hospitals, a children's clinic, a children's pioneer camp, a sanatorium, schools, kindergartens and entire residential neighborhoods were built. All work was carried out under the patronage of the plant's capital construction department and required engineering elaboration, deep knowledge and great dedication of the team. In 1989, the working settlement of Bolshoi Kamen acquired the status of a city.

Maslakov era

In 1991, he was appointed director of the Zvezda plant. Valery Alexandrovich Maslakov. A difficult fate befell Valery Aleksandrovich - to manage the plant during the years that became the most difficult in the history of the plant and the city. The country has a complete collapse of industry, defense and economy. With the beginning of perestroika, as part of the ongoing conversion, the plant was increasingly deprived of defense orders and, as a result, long delays in payments began wages. The situation has escalated to the limit.
But Valery Alexandrovich tried to save the plant. Today, remembering Maslakov, many agree that thanks to his persistence, faith in the future of Zvezda, and ability to resolve issues at the highest levels, the plant survived and retained its status as a state enterprise.

During this difficult time, Zvezda managed to survive only thanks to the continuous search for orders from third party organizations. A huge role here was played by the fact that in 1993 the US Department of Defense and the Committee defense industry Russia signed an agreement on cooperation in the reduction of strategic offensive weapons. The Zvezda plant received an order for the dismantling of strategic submarines withdrawn from the Russian Navy.

As part of the contracts, the United States supplied various equipment to the plant, and also financed the repair of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities. Today, a modern universal complex for dismantling nuclear submarines has been created at Zvezda. Over the years of its existence, more than 40 nuclear submarines have been dismantled.

Clear Japanese Sea

By the 1990s, a lot of radioactive waste had accumulated in the Russian Far East, resulting from the operation and dismantling of nuclear submarines. Their collection at the Zvezda plant was carried out by a special tanker TNT-5, which was in extremely poor technical condition and did not provide safe storage of liquid radioactive waste.

It was decided to place a floating complex for processing liquid radioactive waste in the water area of ​​the plant. The Japanese government provided funding for this project. The complex was put into operation in 2000. This prevented the discharge of liquid radioactive waste into the Sea of ​​Japan and contributed to improving ecological situation in the south Far East. The quality of purified water, which is formed as a result of liquid radioactive waste treatment, meets the requirements of standards for discharge into fishery reservoirs.

However, cooperation with the Japanese government did not stop there. The main topic of Russian-Japanese negotiations was the need to carry out work on dismantling decommissioned first-generation multi-purpose nuclear submarines. There are more than forty such boats in the Far Eastern region, some of which no longer stay afloat. As a pilot project, Japan financed the dismantling of the Victor III class boat. The Russian-Japanese cooperation program was called the "Star of Hope".

Disposal work was hampered by the lack of technical means for unloading spent waste. nuclear fuel from boat reactors. Gradually, step by step, the plant began to modernize the facilities involved in the dismantling of nuclear submarines. This, again, turned out to be possible thanks to the active financial assistance US Department of Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

Put into operation in 2003 coastal complex unloading spent nuclear fuel from nuclear submarine reactors. This complex is unique in its own way - there are only a few of its kind in the world. It meets all international and Russian requirements in the field of nuclear, radiation and environmental safety.

Back to normal

In parallel with the recycling work, the Zvezda plant is being rebuilt to produce civilian products. The repair of the civil fleet has been resumed, and new shipbuilding has been mastered. But the main activity for Zvezda remains the repair of Navy ships. In 2003, after a long break in the delivery of military orders, Pacific Fleet The 397th order "St. George the Victorious" was delivered. In 2001, the plant accepted the third-generation multipurpose nuclear submarine Irkutsk for repair. In August 2008, the third generation nuclear submarine Omsk was delivered to the customer, having undergone repairs at the plant to restore its technical readiness.

From 2001 to 2007, the plant was headed by Yuri Petrovich Shulgan. He started labor activity at the Zvezda plant in 1976 after graduating with honors from the Far Eastern Polytechnic Institute and went through all stages of professional growth at the enterprise.
Since December 2008, the plant has been headed by Andrey Yuryevich Rassomakhin. Leader of the new generation: young, energetic, modern. He is only writing his story in the history of the Star.

On November 6, 2008, the company changed its status and became joint stock company, where 100% of the shares belong to the state. JSC DVZ "Zvezda" became part of the Far Eastern Center for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair.

On December 3, 2009, the Zvezda plant will celebrate its 55th anniversary. For humans, this is the golden age of wisdom. For such a huge enterprise - only youth. The promising, development-oriented Far Eastern plant "Zvezda" confidently declares itself as an enterprise with bold ideas and great opportunities.

The development of shipbuilding is of fundamental importance for us: it is the basis for solving defense and socio-economic problems, it is the demand for qualified personnel and scientific developments, it is additional orders for the Russian metallurgical industry, mechanical engineering, and other industrial sectors, this is a powerful resource for the development of entire regions Russian Federation.

In September 2016, the launch ceremony of the first stage of the Zvezda shipbuilding complex took place in the Primorsky Territory. Equipping the future Zvezda shipyard with modern crane equipment will ensure the technological cycle of shipbuilding in Bolshoy Kamen. The new shipyard will become the largest modern civil shipyard in Russia, as well as a base for the creation and development of offshore equipment. The first cranes with a lifting capacity of 320 tons were successfully delivered and installed at the Zvezda SK site in August 2016. Total weight cargo amounted to 1560 tons. Meanwhile, construction continues and the large slipway is further supplied with crane equipment. Now let's look at the progress over the fall-winter at the Zvezda shipbuilding complex.

At the end of March, new large-capacity equipment was delivered to the slipway of the Zvezda shipbuilding complex - two tower cranes with a lifting capacity of 100 tons each. The length of the crane boom is 81.7 meters, the width of the rail track is 10.5 meters, the height is 94.5 meters. Delivery of cranes from China was a technically complex transport operation, since the equipment was transported assembled on a special vessel.




The cranes were manufactured under a joint contract between DVZ Zvezda and China Heavy Industry Corporation Nantong (CHIC) for the supply of crane equipment for the outfitting slipway of the Zvezda SK. In total, under the contract, the Chinese company will deliver 5 pieces of equipment to the slipway in Bolshoy Kamen by the end of this year: two cranes with a lifting capacity of 320 tons and two cranes with a lifting capacity of 100 tons, as well as a Goliath-type crane with a lifting capacity of 1,200 tons.

The lifting capacity of the main crane is 1200 tons. This is the largest crane in Russia. It will be built in collaboration with Chinese partners. The crane span is 230 meters. And it will be assembled right on the territory of the plant.


In December 2016, at a shipyard in the Qingdao Industrial Economic District, shipbuilders began cutting the metal of the transfer dock, shown in the mock-up on the right. A transport and transfer dock with a lifting capacity of 40,000 tons will be used for the transfer and launching of ships and marine equipment from the open outfitting slipway of the future shipyard. The structure is unsupported and allows longitudinal rolling of vessels onto it from three different slipways and transverse rolling of offshore objects.

In the fall of 2016, tenders were held to carry out construction and installation work:

construction of a hot-dip galvanizing shop; construction of a pipe processing shop; construction of a block assembly workshop; construction of outfitting and cargo embankments;

as well as the construction of a saturation shop and modular assembly; construction of a chamber for cleaning, painting and drying blocks; construction of a mechanical assembly shop with a warehouse of equipment and supplies; installation of external power supply networks;


In January 2017, it is planned to create two artificial land plots with a total area of ​​about 83,239 square meters at the Zvezda Sports Complex. m, which exceeds the size of 11 football fields. To create them you will need about 316,197 cubic meters. m of soil, which will be obtained during the development of the pit for the dry dock of the complex under construction. These areas are necessary for the creation of a dry dock and outfitting shops where heavy-duty vessels will be built and entered for repairs.


In February 2017, a positive conclusion was approved by the expert commission of the state environmental assessment on project documentation“Creation of the Zvezda shipbuilding complex. II stage of construction. Dry dock and outfitting shops.” The validity period of the SEE conclusion is also set at 3 years.
