First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov took part in the opening ceremony of the Moscow Shipyard, which has been under construction since 2023.
"The attraction of significant financial and intellectual resources has enabled the development of a fully-fledged shipbuilding cluster in the Nagatinskaya Poima. In addition to the full-cycle production of regular, pleasure, and cruise electric vessels, we have also established repair and maintenance facilities, as well as a design bureau, which will enable us to develop expertise in electric navigation and improve the energy efficiency, controllability, maneuverability, and comfort of electric vessels," noted Denis Manturov.
The event was attended by Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of Russia and Chairman of the Maritime Collegium, and Sergei Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.
The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the opening of the Moscow Shipyard will facilitate the resolution of several objectives set by the Russian President, namely, the renewal of the river passenger fleet and the achievement of technological leadership in key industrial sectors.
"The further development of navigation along the capital's main waterway and many other Russian rivers is a source of long-term, sustainable demand for ships scheduled for keel-laying at the shipyard. To reduce the financial burden on customers, government support measures such as leasing subsidies and ship recycling grants may be implemented," Denis Manturov explained.
He added that more than 50,000 people across the country will be involved in the shipbuilding cooperation at the new shipyard. This includes a wide range of component and marine equipment manufacturers. A separate area that Moscow is actively developing in cooperation with Rosatom is traction batteries.
