During a working visit to the Murmansk Region, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev, together with the head of the region Andrei Chibis, visited the seaport, where he inspected the newest fishing vessel, the Captain Sokolov, built under the investment quota mechanism.
“The fisheries complex is of great importance for the economy of the Murmansk region. The region’s users catch more than 10% of the all-Russian volumes. The region’s fishing enterprises participate in the implementation of the investment quota mechanism, which allows for the renewal of the fishing fleet, an increase in processing, and an increase in production efficiency. In general, the “keel quota” mechanism has given impetus to the revival of Russian commercial shipbuilding. Currently, 27 plants and 40 vessels have been built within the framework of the program. Of these, 23 are fishing vessels and 17 are crab vessels. During the period of the mechanism’s operation, 8 plants and 6 vessels have been built in the Murmansk region,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
One of such objects is the fishing vessel “Captain Sokolov”. On board is a modern fish processing factory with a capacity of up to 150 tons of frozen fish and canned goods per day. The freezing equipment of the vessel is capable of storing up to 1 thousand tons of fish.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the innovative design of the bow of the hull. It increases the working space on the vessel, improves its seaworthiness, increases the durability of the vessel and the safety of navigation. It also creates the most comfortable conditions for the crew to live and work.
Coordination of work on completing the construction of fishing vessels within the framework of the implementation of the mechanism for providing quotas for the extraction (catch) of aquatic bioresources for investment purposes is being carried out by the Government of Russia within the framework of incident No. 42 “Fishing vessels”.
The “keel quota” mechanism is aimed at stimulating the development of the domestic fishing fleet.
