Rosprom and USC to investigate problems the Far East Shipbuilding Center hit

In the near future a working group of the Ministry of Industry of Russia lead by the head of the USC Yuri Yarov will come to the Far East to study the situation with the Far East Centre of Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (DCSS). After converting its future members into JSC DCSS will encompass DVZ Zvezda, Khabarovsk shipyard, the plants of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: "30 SRZ", "92 SRZ", "178 SRZ", "179 SRZ", "SVRC" and JSC "Dalzavod", "Amur Shipyard", "Nikolaev Shipyard".

The government of the Russian Federation prepared legal provision according to which the heads of these enterprises before September, 10th, 2007 should have developed the scheme of their privatization (establishing JSCs). However, according to the experts of Rosprom weak control from the federal structures and reluctance of the "red directors" (very negative slang word for the heads of state companies profiting on stagnation) did not allowed to make it in time. As a result DCSS was registered only on December, 11th, 2007. According to the heads of the Far East plants included into the structure of the new holding because of the lack of funds they could not pay for the inventory of their enterprises and transform them into JSCs. At the same time some, like Khabarovsk shipyard and 179th SRZ are in the finishing stage of establishing a JSC. Northeast Regional Centre on Repair and Recycling of Arms and the Military Technic were already transformed into JSC.

Another problem is that it has become clear that some local commercial structures with stained reputation are actively trying to receive control over the assets of the enterprises to be integrated into DCSS. Special interest was paid to SRZs 92 and 30, Zvezda. Zvezda is in the middle of the conflict between regional authorities and the working team over the candidate of its general director. It was found out that the debts of the 92 SRZ were bought by certain company "Gunchan", "Financial Result Ltd" tried to buy the debts of the 30 SRZ. Dalzavod is in the process of registering and re-registering its assets on mysterious daughter companies. At the moment regional power structures are investigating a number of cases regarding fake bankruptcy procedures.
