The Ukraine yards are leaving Russian orders. There are currently 12 left shipbuilding orders of Russian companies at the Ukraine yards - said the President of JSC “USC”, Roman Trotsenko, speaking at the general meeting of the Association of Shipping Companies. Also, he pointed out, that this situation plays into Russian shipbuilders’ hands, who previously lost to their neighbours at the prices.
The Director considers that Russian yards in orders for river vessels are already ready to compete with Chinese enterprises, as their final cost of a vessel always increases, often because of non-fulfilment of contractual obligations in time, as well as due to long transition of a vessel to Russia. Rishat Bagautdinov, the Chairman of the Board “Volga Shipping Company”, also supported this opinion.
