The story
The shipyard was founded in 1948 and since then has built more than 200 different vessels with deadweight up to 12,000 tons. The total displacement of the built vessels is over 1,550,000 tons. At present the shipyard is able to build different type of vessels with deadweight up to 15,000 tons. When the shipyard builds bigger ships the hulls of the ships will be assembled at the semi-submersible barge Atlant built at the Vyborg shipyard specially for implementation of the Project 21900M icebreaker order. To launch the icebreaker the barge was towed to the deepwater area of the Vyborg Bay.
In January 1996, Kvaerner, also spelled Kværner, purchased a stake in the Vyborg Shipyard and renamed it Kverner-Vyborg Shipyard (Russian: ОАО «Квернер-Выборг Верфь») which employed 300 people and was the largest manufacturer of offshore installations in Russia. On 10 March 2000, Kvaerner sold the Vyborg Shipyard, which had 1500 employees but was losing money and faced closure during 1999, to the Sergey Zavyalov (Russian: Сергей Завьялов) associated early 1990s established Ako Barss Group (Russian: «Ако Барсс Груп») which then sold the shipyard to Rossiya Bank owners who placed the shipyard in the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC). Until 2022, Alexander Solovyov (Russian: Александр Соловьёв), an ex director of Ako Barss Group, owned the Vyborg Shipyard.
In 2012, Vyborg Shipyard joined the United Shipbuilding Corporation.
