Amur Shipbuilding Plant

OJSC Amur Shipbuilding Plant (Russian: Амурский судостроительный завод, Amurskiy Sudostroitelnyy Zavod, and also called the "Leninskiy Komsomol Shipyard"[2]) is an important shipyard in eastern Russia, based in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and founded in 1932.

[3] It employs 15,000 people,[4] and produces both civilian and military ships, including nuclear submarines.

[6][7] In 1992, then-president Boris Yeltsin announced that the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk would remain the only nuclear submarine construction site.

[8][9] In 2008, the first nuclear submarine built at the shipyard in 13 years suffered an accident during sea trials, killing 20 people.

[10] Previously privately owned, it was sold in May 2009 for a nominal price of a few thousand roubles to the state-controlled United Shipbuilding Corporation.
