SUBORDINATION: Ministry of Defense

ACTIVITIES:
With a large number of floating docks, Safonovo services nuclear submarines and surface vessels. The facility is large enough to repair Typhoon-class submarines. Germany sold one of Safonov's two dry docks to Russia in the 1970s, and the other dry dock, the largest on the Kola Peninsula with an 80,000-ton loading capacity, came from Sweden in 1980.

Safonovo also has many shore-based workshops. In March 1998, the Bellona Foundation reported that plans to merge Safonovo with Sevmorput exist, despite the fact that Safonovo had received orders for military ship repairs and for the dry dock overhaul of a nuclear-powered surface ship.

Comments

  • This is the base that the K-141 Kursk was brought to after she was raised. She was placed in the large floating drydock in this image...the PD-50.
  • Actually, this village was called Roslyakovo-1 in the 89th year. And Safonovo is further to Severomorsk. Roslyakovo village is a little closer on the road to Murmansk. The plant was called the 82nd SRZ. Nearby stood the 777th Ship Repair Battalion.
