According to him, domestic ship repair companies can be divided into two groups. The first group includes companies with ship repair as their core activity. This group numbers 40 large and mid-size enterprises with required production facilities, docks, berths, hull workshops, equipment, etc.; 128 small-size and 500 micro-size businesses accounting for the bulk of repair and maintenance works, according to Nikolay Shablikov.
The other group offers ship repair among other services. It numbers 48 large, 91 small and 370 micro-size companies.
Over the recent years, Russian ship repair has shown a steady growth despite the problems caused by the pandemic. In the current geopolitical conditions, on the one hand, new prospects have opened for an increase in the number of orders at Russian enterprises. On the other hand, new challenges and hindering factors have appeared, primarily related to providing enterprises with components and spare parts for ship repair,” - said Nikolai Shablikov.
