Description

All activities of the Kronstadt Marine Plantis inextricably linked with the navy. For more than 150 years of history, he gave new life to thousands of ships. Founded in 1858 as steamship production, the plant has become the leading center for the reconstruction and modernization of ships for various purposes. Until the beginning of the 1990s the enterprise enjoyed the deserved authority of the flagship of the domestic ship repair. Then came the period of recession.

As noted by Anatoly Vladimirovich Beloev,director of the Kronstadt Marine Plant, in the early 2000s the enterprise fevered. The bankruptcy procedure began, and since 2008, the CMM's business activities have been suspended and resumed only in 2010 with the direct participation and support of the United Shipbuilding Corporation. Before the new leadership tasks are set to restore production, to carry out the corporatization of production and its entry into the structure of JSC "USC". By 2016, these goals have been successfully achieved.

Maintenance of gas turbines

The share of gas turbine production in the total volumeworks is about 25%. This direction was established in the Kronstadt Marine Plant in 1967. Mainly maintenance of gas turbine engines (GTE) on ships of the Navy. In addition, over the past two decades, KMZ has mastered the repair of converted units and units that are used at the pumping stations of Gazprom.

Since 2014, when the Russian fleet has knownreasons could no longer carry out repairs of gas turbine engines in Ukraine, the maintenance of the gas turbine engine was entrusted to the Marine Plant. This unique production facility is equipped with a full set of necessary equipment and a test bench complex.
