No ships leave USC repair yards as scheduled – RF Navy Commander
At the meeting with Deputy Chairman of RF Government Dmitry Rogozin, Navy Commander Admiral Viktor Chirkov complained that repair yards of United Shipbuilding Corporation OJSC miss the construction deadlines.
“We are not satisfied with the repair terms today: no ships leave repair yards as scheduled, neither newbuids are delivered by USC on time,” Admiral Chirkov noted at the meeting with the Corporation management.
According to the Commander, it is often a fault of subcontracters, not of the USC itself. The delivery of ships’ fighting equipment, electronics and maritime air equipment is often delayed.
Dmitry Rogozin, in his turn, noted that USC head Vladimir Shmakov has full capacity to adjust cooperation between the companies of different corporations.
United Shipbuilding Corporation (OSK OJSC) is the largest shipbuilding company in Russia. It was set up in 2007 with 100% federal ownership. The holding comprises 60 companies and organizations (major shipbuilding and shiprepairing companies as well as leading design bureaus). Currently, OSK consolidates about 80% of the domestic shipbuilding complex. The Russian market is the main focus of the state corporation though it also exports its products to 20 countries worldwide.
