At the request of the customer, Swets Shipping & Trading, the developed mathematical model of the LM18 hull was transferred to a shipyard in China for serial production. Subsequently, the LM18 project was also built in series at Rybinsk yards – the Vympel Shipyard and the Rybinsk Shipyard.

The hull section of the lead vessel of the LM25 project was assembled at the Rybinsk Shipyard and then transported in the hold of a cargo ship to Amsterdam for outfitting work – see http://varendwoonschipdevooruitgang.nl/Fotoalbum/
