The Russian government has approved a strategy for the development of shipbuilding until 2050

The Government of the Russian Federation has updated the strategy for the development of the domestic shipbuilding industry until 2050. This was announced on May 12 by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

"Since this year, we have multiplied our support for manufacturers and customers of ships and components, and over the next six years we will allocate more than 500 billion rubles from the federal budget for these purposes," he said.

The Prime Minister added that a significant part of these funds will be allocated as part of the new national project "Industrial support for Transport Mobility" aimed at achieving technological leadership.

Mishustin noted that under the conditions of sanctions, the renewal and expansion of the Russian fleet is of key importance for building logistics routes to friendly countries, cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route and the development of river tourism.

Denis Manturov, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, added that the basic scenario for the development of shipbuilding provides for the construction of more than 1.6 thousand civilian ships in Russia by 2036. He stressed that by 2050 it is planned to increase the share of serial vessels produced by Russian enterprises to 80%. By the same time, it is necessary to bring the production of components in the Russian Federation to a similar level.

"It is important to solve the task set by the head of state to achieve technological sovereignty. This includes critical positions of marine equipment and the most important production processes," Mishustin stressed.
