Vyborg Shipyard PJSC (Russian: ПАО «Выборгский судостроительный завод») is a shipbuilding company located in Vyborg, Russia. The company has a focus on icebreakers and other icegoing vessels for arctic conditions but the company also builds deep sea semi-submersible floating drilling and production platforms for exploration of oil and gas offshore fields. Vyborg Shipyard employs more than 1,500 people.
The shipyard was founded in 1948. Since the Shipyard was founded there have been built more than 200 different vessels with deadweight up to 12000 tons, total displacement over 1,550,000 tons. At present the shipyard is able to build different type of vessels with deadweight up to 15000 tons. When the shipyard builds bigger ships the hulls of the ships will be assembled at the semi-submersible barge Atlant built at the Vyborg shipyard specially for implementation of the Project 21900M icebreaker order. To launch the icebreaker the barge was towed to the deepwater area of the Vyborg Bay.
In 2012, Vyborg Shipyard joined the United Shipbuilding Corporation.
On July 10, 2014 Vyborg Shipyard signed a subcontract with Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. According to the contract Vyborg Shipyard will fabricate sections and blocks for a platform supply vessel for Sovcomflot JSC buid by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. Design and equipment of the new vessel enable all-year-round transportation of personnel and supplies to the oil production platforms at Sakhalin-2 region and enhance their oil spill response and emergency evacuation capacity. The vessel is a further developed version in a series of two icebreaking supply vessels Aleksey Chirikov and Vitus Bering also built in co-operation between Arctech Helsinki Shipyard and Vyborg Shipyard. In summer 2014, Arctech and Vyborg Shipyard received an additional order of three icebreaking stand-by vessels of this class.
