The condition of navigation and hydrographic support (NHS) of Russian waterways, as well as rescue fleet leaves much to be desired. Such a disappointing conclusion was made by members of the Marine Board of the Russian government, who met on Dec. 24, 2010. To improve the situation, the Board members decided to develop the concept of maritime NHS system and in the future to form a new federal agency responsible for its development. Rosmorflot eyes investment of over 1bn rubles in improvement of the MNHS system until 2015.
