Russia continues large-scale modernization of its fishing fleet
The Government of the Russian Federation has announced the continuation of its program to modernize the country's fishing fleet. According to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev, the construction of new, modern vessels is a priority task for strengthening Russia's position in the global seafood market.
The modernization program includes the construction of high-tech trawlers and processing plants. The new vessels are equipped with modern machinery that allows for not only more efficient fishing but also the processing of catch directly at sea. This significantly improves product quality and reduces losses during transportation.
Fleet renewal helps Russian fishing companies operate more independently and stably. Thanks to the new capacity, the industry plans to increase catch volumes and expand the range of products available to Russian consumers. It also creates new jobs in the country's coastal regions.
Experts note that developing a domestic fleet is an important step toward ensuring Russia's food security. Using domestic technologies in vessel construction helps reduce dependence on imported components and fosters the growth of the local shipbuilding industry.
In the future, the government plans to continue supporting the fisheries complex. It is expected that the implementation of this program will allow Russia to remain one of the leaders in the global fishing industry and provide the domestic market with high-quality products.
