Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 42 “Fishing vessels”.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 42 “Fishing vessels”. It was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Federal Agency for Fisheries, other interested departments, the United Shipbuilding Corporation, shipyards and the industry business community.
“Since October, shipyards have delivered 9 vessels to investors within the first stage of the investment quota program. Thus, at the moment, 40 vessels have been delivered to customers within both stages: 23 fishing vessels and 17 crab vessels. According to the forecast of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, another 12 should be delivered by the end of the year,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
The construction of new modern vessels allows us to reduce costs in the fishery, which, of course, affects the reduction of the cost of manufactured products and, potentially, the selling prices.
Among the 40 transferred fishing vessels are four trawlers. Since the beginning of the year, the trawler Mekhanik Sizov, built in 2023, has already caught more than 18 thousand tons of fish. In general, the productivity of such vessels is 2.5 times higher than that of the previous generation. The equipment on board is designed for catching and processing 60 thousand tons of aquatic bioresources annually, and various types of products are also produced – minced meat and surimi.
Also among the leaders in terms of production volumes are the vessels Mechanic Maslak and Kapitan Vdovichenko, built in 2022, and Kapitan Martynov, launched in 2024.
The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that the ships, the construction of which is planned to be completed in 2025, must be handed over to customers on time. It is important to ensure proper control here.
In addition, Dmitry Patrushev instructed the Ministry of Natural Resources, together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the United Shipbuilding Corporation, to monitor the implementation of the construction schedule for the research expedition vessel Ivan Frolov, which will be used by Roshydromet for the purpose of research by Russian scientists in Antarctica.
The event also touched upon the issue of terminating and amending investment agreements and further securing the released shares of quotas for the extraction of aquatic bioresources.
Following the discussion, Dmitry Patrushev instructed to continue monthly monitoring of the situation with the construction of vessels at the Rosrybolovstvo site.
Incident No. 42 “Fishing vessels” was created to coordinate work on completing the construction of fishing vessels as part of the implementation of the mechanism for providing quotas for the extraction (catch) of aquatic bioresources for investment purposes.
When working in the incident format, a special project management system is used, which is deployed on the basis of the Government Coordination Center. It allows for prompt coordination of the actions of participants and monitoring of project implementation in real time.
The “keel quota” mechanism is aimed at stimulating the development of the domestic fishing fleet.
