The works under the project designed by LENMORNIIPROEKT JSC will be financed by Kola Yard LLC.
Kolskaya Verf (Kola Yard LLC, subsidiary of NOVATEK) earlier embarked on implementation of the project on creation of a center for construction of large capacity offshore facilities at Belokamenka settlement. The center will cover the territory of more than 150 hectares and will feature production facilities for manufacturing of metal structures and processing line modules; two dry docks, unique in their size; a rotational camp. Total value of the project, according to updated information of the company, will make RUB 50 bln.
