At the forum, MMK, one of the leading suppliers for the shipbuilding
industry in Russia, has a stand showcasing the company¡¯s potential
in shipbuilding steel production. MMK accounts for up to half of all
supplies in this segment, and shipment volumes in recent years have
reached 100,000 tonnes. MMK's main consumers are companies within the
United Shipbuilding Corporation.
MMK's shipbuilding capabilities received a boost
after the commissioning of plate Mill 5000 in 2009, which is capable
of producing high-quality shipbuilding steel for various types of
vessels. The steel produced by Mill 5000 is certified by Bureau
Veritas (France), Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, Russian
River Register, ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), Lloyd Register and
Norway¡¯s classification society Det Norske Veritas. In addition,
MMK continually works to master new technologies and the production
of new steel grades for shipbuilding. Notably, we are currently
developing technology for the production of high-strength
shipbuilding steel for Arctic structures with operating temperatures
as low as -50¢ªC, used without restrictions for icebreaking ships,
icebreakers and offshore structures.
