The today's technical, fishing and research fleet of Russia urgently needs to be updated. And the relevant authorities agree with this fact. A year ago, the head of the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency Andrei Krainy, being at the Pella Plant at the laying of a longline fishing ship for the Barents Sea, marked: "Our fleet was constructed in the 70s-80s of the last century and went out of date.
Compared with the Norway, we are somewhere in the middle ages, in the fourteenth century. If we do not start renewing it now, by 2016 Russia will fish less than one million tons of fish per year". Taking into account the real needs of Russian companies in updating the fleet, since 2012 Pella Leningrad Shipbuilding Plant has implemented an investment project using its own and extra-budgetary funds: Construction of New Shipbuilding Complex in Leningrad Region, whose total cost is about 3 billion roubles.
