Shipbuilding in North West Russia
UK Trade & Investment has recently published research, now featured on the Marine South East website, on opportunities in North West Russia.
Shipbuilding is traditionally one of the leading industries in St Petersburg and north-west Russia. In general the north-west region can be considered as the centre for all Russia marine business activities, with up to 70% of production facilities and up to 80% of scientific and research institutions concentrated here. There are over 20 large shipbuilding enterprises in St Petersburg, which produce ships and vessels, parts, services and maintenance.
However, the ship equipment manufactured by many local companies is quite outdated, and the majority of former USSR plants manufacturing component parts are now based in the CIS countries. There is a demand for cheap and good quality ship equipment, devices and furnishings for civil shipbuilding.
This offers some opportunities for British companies, for the sale of technology, equipment, and for possible joint ventures or production outsourcing.
