On Wednesday Baltiysky Zavod shipyard launched diesel-electric icebreaker Saint Petersburg. However, the fate of the shipyard itself is still undetermined: management of the United Industrial Corporation (OPK) holds to its plans related to the shipyard though saying the company is to work as long as it has orders. Meanwhile, the other company of the OPK – Shipbuilding plant Severnaya Verf – is to get an order from Gazprom on production of vessels for shelf development. At the same time private shipyards count on close cooperation with the United Shipbuilding Corporation based on the principles of public-private partnership
