Thus, at the beginning of April, almost 50 employees from Zaliv Ship Design (Mykolayiv) that has been designing ships for 13 years visited the shipyard.
According to the guests, such visits are important for young specialists, as it is almost the only opportunity in the city to become familiar with organization of hull and mechanical production of vessels. In addition, this promotes the improvement of professional skills of design engineers from Zaliv Ship Design Ltd.
Dmytro Gorbenko, the shipyard’s director, and Volodymyr Zhmur, his deputy, familiarized the guests with the shipyard’s history and demonstrated the process of NIBULON’s cargo fleet construction. They told the guests that NIBULON itself revived shipbuilding in Ukraine.
Dmytro Gorbenko stressed that NIBULON was not only an agrarian company but also a shipbuilding one. Thus, the company will develop its own fleet, competing successfully with Ukrainian shipyards. According to the guests, there are no other shipbuilding prospects in Mykolayiv, except NIBULON’s shipyard.
The shipyard’s workload for 2016-2018 includes the implementation of a number of other shipbuilding projects: pusher-tugs of modernized 121M project, multipurpose seagoing tugs of 3,500 and 5,000 hp, a self-propelled floating crane (similar to St. Mykolai one), non-self-propelled vessels of the NBL-91, В2000 and 90М projects.
Shipbuilding almost stopped in Mykolayiv, says Andriy Sarabun, an acting manager of Systems Department at Zaliv Ship Design Ltd. But the young team of Zaliv Ship Design Ltd must observe shipbuilding processes in practice. NIBULON can provide designers with such an opportunity.
“The shipyard is constantly developing itself (gas distribution station, new tools, etc.). NIBULON’s management aims to improve its shipyard”.
