INFOLine experts: How do Russian shipbuilding companies stay afloat?

By 2014 the transport fleet under the control of Russian Federation consisted of about 1400 vessels of total weight of more than 20 million tons. According to the monitoring data of INFOLine, there were about 140 vessels built at Russian shipyards. The low level of capacity utilization – only 30-50%, negatively affected the financial stability and efficiency of production activities of Russian shipbuilding enterprises.
Today the most powerful of them, according to the rating of INFOLine experts, are PO Sevmash, JSC(more than 90 billion rubles), Pella Leningradskiy shipbuilding plant, JSC (27,5 billion rubles) and Zvezdochka Shiprepairing Center, JSC (more than 16 billion rubles). The two of the leading plants (PO Sevmash, JSC and Zvezdochka, JSC) are affiliated with United Shipbuilding Company, JSC.

Founding of USC in due time managed to cease the industrys crisis and even to initiate investment projects for building of modern shipyards, still it monopolized the market. In opinion of INFOLine, the company does not have unified view on development policy; its management was changed more than once.
