The government will additionally allocate more than 3 billion rubles for the construction of fishing vessels

Russia will allocate more than 3 billion rubles to support the construction of fishing vessels at the shipyards of the Far Eastern Federal District, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at an operational meeting with deputy prime ministers.

The construction of ships is being delayed due to sanctions that limit the supply of spare parts and equipment, the prime minister complained.

“To overcome these difficulties, the government will allocate an additional over 3 billion rubles, subsidies will be provided to Russian organizations to reimburse part of the costs for creating ships at the shipyards of the Far Eastern Federal District. In total, 13 crabfishing vessels should leave the shipyards within three years, and these funds will help speed up the launch of seven of them,” noted Mikhail Mishustin.
