A special commission got down to work at St. Petersburg Severnaya Verf shipbuilder to evaluate whether it will be able to make three frigates for Indian Navy under Project 11356. The commission moves to Kaliningrad today, to pay a visit to another contender – Yantar Baltic Shipyard. But the results of the contest have been decided already. More likely than not, Kaliningrad will win in the end.
Led by head of Federal Military and Technical Cooperation Service Mikhail Dmitriev, the commission is to report the results to Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov by March 1, so that he could name the winner of the Indian order.
The first contract for delivering three frigates under Project 11356 was sealed with India in 1997. The contract budget was $1 billion; the basic contractor, St. Petersburg Baltic Works, delivered military frigates from 2003 to 2004.
At present, Rosoboronexport and India are negotiating construction of three more frigates under the same project. The contract could be clinched in early March, the sources say.
