In addition to several large workshops, the yard operates two large dry docks. Until the end of the 1980s, the yard employed 5,500 workers, but today the number of employees is much smaller.
Sevmorput has been repairing first-generation nuclear submarines since the end of the 1960s and until 1991, the refuelling of nuclear submarines was also undertaken here. Today, the shipyard also carries out repairs of second-generation submarines. In 1991, county officials prohibited refuelling activities at this yard on the grounds of radiation safety concerns and the fact that the yard is located only a few hundred metres from more populous areas of the city. Defuelling activities were later resumed on the condition that a so-called dry defuelling method was used, whereby the cooling water is pumped out from the reactor. In the future, the civilian nuclear service ship Imandra is likely to perform the defuelling operations at the shipyard.
There are presently two first generation Project 675 — Echo-II class and Project 658 — Hotel class submarines in the yard. The Project 658 — Hotel class submarine was defuelled in 1995.

Transport on the Northern Sea Route is not sustainable, and Kirkenes must not become a potential hub for transport along the Siberian coast. Bellona believes this is an important message Norway should deliver in connection with the Prime Minister's visit to China. In an open letter to Jonas Gahr Støre, Bellona asks the Prime Minister to make it clear that the Chinese must stop shipping traffic through the Northeast Passage.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has published a new report on its efforts to ensure nuclear safety and security during the conflict in Ukraine, with the agency’s director-general warning that the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station remains “precarious and very fragile.”
