The process of restructuring of the State Marine Emergency Rescue Service of Russia (GosMorSpasSluzhba) has been nearly completed, PortNews IAA reporter cites Victor Olerski, Deputy Transport Minister of the Russian Federation, as saying at the meeting of RosMorRechFlot Council in Moscow. According to Victor Olerski, GosMorSpasSluzhba has been reformed in compliance with a branch principle.
“It is a large organization with large-scale tasks... 20 new rescue vessel have been built... I believe, the emergency rescue service, if arranged wisely, has a promising future. It is becoming a large player in the market of ecological services not only in Russia but worldwide,” Olerski said.
As it was earlier announced by Yuri Kostin, deputy head of RosMorRechFlot, all independent federal state unitary enterprises within GosMorSpasSluzhba were reorganized through integration with the FSUE Baltic BASU (they are its basin branches now).
In 2013, FSUE Baltic BASU reorganized as Marine Rescue Service is being integrated with GosMorSpasSluzhba. To complete the reorganization, MSKTs and MSPTs are to be transferred from seaports’ basin administrations to a unified GosMorSpasSluzhba directly subordinate to GMSKTs.
Apart from the reorganization of GosMorSpasSluzhba the state is renovating its rescue fleet. 21 of 41 vessels to be built for Russian rescue services by 2015 have already been built by Russian shipyards.
Besides, two 4-MWt rescue vessels of unrestricted navigation are under construction at Nevsky Shipyard (Shlisselburg, Leningrad region) and one 7-MWt rescue vessel of unrestricted navigation – at Amursky Shipyard (Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Khabarovsk Territory).
