"In 2014, the volume of orders made by the Russian shipbuilders, fell by 41% to 177 vessels. Number of built ships decreased in both the civilian and military sector - 112 yards passed the civil courts (63% of the total portfolio) and 65 warships in 2013, these figures were at the level of 170 (56%) and 131 of the vessel, respectively.

This is due to military orders, which accounted for about 80% (177.7 billion. Rub.) Of the total portfolio. "For example, last year Severodvinsk" Sevmash "passed two nuclear submarines total value of 61 billion. Rub., While the cost of the executed civil orders fell by 26.5% to 44.1 billion. Rubles." - Writes "Kommersant" .

This year, the trend growth of the share of military orders is maintained. According to the head «Infoline-Analysts' Mikhail Burmistrov, in 2015 cost the volume of civil order will be reduced to 15%.

"With a sharp rise in interest rates on loans and leases and stagnation in industry volumes in demand for ships in the Russian customers will be reduced," - he said and stressed that "the decline in oil prices and sanctions are fraught transfer projects on the shelf and threaten construction on Russian shipyards tanker fleet supply vessels and platforms. "

With this number of shipbuilders agreed, noting that "the prospect of a full-fledged launch of" super shipyard "" Star "in the Far East (the project of" Rosneft ", USC and GPB) in 2018 looks very hazy with the protracted construction and unformed order book."

"There are problems with the construction of offshore equipment in Astrakhan" Rosshelf. " For example, in 2014 the platform LSP-1, commissioned by LUKOIL, has been bred in the sea is not in the final stages of completion and is now being completed on a rotational basis, "- said the source of the newspaper.

"As a result, - said the source" b "- the industry's largest shipyard (" Sevmash "," Severnaya Verf "," Admiralty Shipyards "et al.), Traditionally focused on defense procurement, continue to give him the most attention." And other facilities capable of performing civil orders until established.

"Civil direction more likely to develop in the framework of the largest shipyards do not like Oka Shipyard," - said one of the sources. Another interviewee said: "Now, in the absence of competence for the construction of complex offshore and civil engineering, it is clear that it will continue to orders to go to overseas, primarily Korean shipyards, and real, not prerequisites for the planned turnaround yet."

The sources added that a decline in defense spending can be reduced and the military orders. On re-Navy until 2020 is planned to allocate 4.7 trillion. rub. First of all funds should go for the purchase of new models of ships (surface and subsurface), as well as repairs and upgrades.

"But in the case may intervene unstable economic situation: under the state program for the 2017 line has moved more than 500 billion. Rub., And this practice will be used in the future" - said the source "b" in the government.

In addition, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said in 2013 that "the Navy needs ships with a service life of 30 and 50 years, can take five or six upgrades." Thus, "the military will tend to move away from the practice of procurement of a large number of ships, and this position remains unchanged in the Defense Ministry," - the newspaper concludes
