Manufacturer catalog
Shipbuilding Plant Volga is a Russian shipyard in Nizhny Novgorod associated with high-speed and specialist vessel construction, including hydrofoil, air-cavity, patrol, rescue, and support craft. The plant is relevant to Russian naval craft in this catalog because open sources tie Volga to Project 11770 Serna production and the lead Project 21820 Dyugon-class landing craft.
2 weaponsShipbuilding Plant Volga grew out of the experimental-production base connected with the Nizhny Novgorod hydrofoil design community. FleetPhoto describes the plant as established in 1970 and credits it with construction technologies for hydrofoils, air-cavity vessels, and ekranoplans, while Sudostroenie lists current activity across fast passenger, cargo, rescue, patrol, and leisure craft plus aluminum-magnesium repair work.
For defense catalog records, Volga is most visible through small landing craft rather than large ocean-going warships. FleetPhoto and RussianShips list multiple Project 11770 Serna craft from the yard, and GlobalSecurity identifies CVD Volga in Nizhny Novgorod as the production yard for Ataman Platov, the lead Project 21820 Dyugon-class craft commissioned into the Caspian Flotilla.
GlobalSecurity lists the lead craft Ataman Platov as a CVD Volga, Nizhny Novgorod vessel laid down on 2006-02-21 and commissioned in 2010.
