We need the Far East Shipbuilding Centre to become a general customer for all marine equipment for offshore projects with the goal of gradually increasing its share in ship construction and localisation to 70%, Vladimir Putin said at the meeting of the Commission for Strategic Development of the Fuel and Energy Sector and Environmental Security held on June 4.
«…an important project is the shipbuilding cluster on the basis of the Zvezda plant. It is currently being implemented with participation by a consortium of companies, including the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC). The scale of our offshore projects will grow from year to year, and clearly, they will require a large number of marine vessels and specialised equipment. This is a good opportunity for the Russian shipbuilding industry to gain serial orders and enrich its experience working in the high-tech segment. We certainly cannot let this opportunity pass us by», Vladimir Putin said.
«I want to point out that the Far East Shipbuilding Centre is a company that includes participation by USC, as I already said, and many other major Russian businesses, including financial companies. We must do everything to ensure that it develops actively. We have always had great shipbuilding capacities in the Far East, and we need all this to become a global company; only then can we develop the Fear Eastern Shipbuilding Centre and the USC overall», emphasized the President.
