Welding-assembly production area is located in 5 bays of hull construction block of shops. It is equipped with a TTS (Norway) block and panel line, welding equipment of ESAB (Sweden) company, which was commissioned in 1994.The line provides for fabrication of panels up to 12x18 m, weight up to 100 t, hull blocks 18x24 m, weight up to 300 t.

Since the line started to operate, up to 80% of sections and blocks of hulls are fabricated on it (except bow and aft sections).

The shops have cranes with lifting capacity up to 200 t and trolleys to transport sections up to 350 t, sufficient number of indoor building areas, and it is possible to assemble blocks up to 300 t and provide for work in two shifts.Total production capacity of welding-assembly facilities is up to 40000 t of hull constructions per year.

The shipyard is investigating possibilities to increase its output through automation of units assembly and welding, usage of universal devices to fabricate sections and blocks, bow and aft sections.

Zaliv is certified by GL, LR, DNV and MRS to fabricate hull constructions.

The yard is certified by BV to ISO 2000:9001.
