Over 500 ships and platforms for Arctic shelf development are required by 2022, said Maxim Kochetkov, Director of Shipbuilding Industry and Marine Facilities Department at RF Ministry of Industry and Trade, when speaking at the meeting of “Industry and Technologies Development” group held on October 7, 2015 within the framework of the State Commission on Arctic Development.
“Amid the pessimistic forecast for global prices of hydrocarbons, some of the offshore projects will be rescheduled. On the other hand, this requires innovative technical solutions to ensure new level of economical efficiency, both in oil & gas sector and in shipbuilding”, Maxim Kochetkov said.
