GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Srednenevsky shipyard, located near the junctionof the Izhora and Neva rivers in the Kolpino district of southern St.Petersburg, is an importantbuilder of mine warfare ships for the Russian navy. The yard probably dates back to 1911, whenthe St. Petersburg Metals Plant, then a builder of marine turbines, established a shipyard atUst-Izhora to build destroyers. Between the world wars the Ust-Izhora yard was limited to theconstruction of river barges. It was expanded into a major builder of minesweepers and othersmall combatants after World War II and built ships of the steel-hulled T-43, T-58, Turka, andNatya classes in the 1950s and 1960s. It has also built a few large tugs and small tankers forservice as naval auxiliaries.
Around 1970 it began to experiment with glass-reinforced plastic and subsequently built a fewZhenya-class minehunters and many Yevgenya- and Lida-class inshore minesweepers. It also builthydrofoils of the Matka and Turya classes and the Tarantul-class missile corvettes. Today it isoffering several types of ships on the civil market similar to its minesweeper classes, includingships of upto 100 tons with glass-reinforced plastic hulls, steel-hulled ships of up to 800 tons, andsimilar ships built with low-magnetic steel.
