Local content of new catamarans intended for Saint-Petersburg exceeds 70%, Vladimir Seredokho, General Director of Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard, told IAA PortNews. According to him, there is no risk of schedule disruption due to problems of components supply.
“Local content is over 70% and we have no issues with substitution of non-local items today... searching of new partners is underway and, hopefully, we will reach normal supply of components by the time this project is completed. As of today, there are no problems, we have everything needed in full. The delivery schedule will not be affected,” told the shipyard Director.
“Technologies applied by Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard today allow for import substitution in all segments,” Saint-Petersburg Vice Govrnor Maksim Sokolov said at the keel-laying ceremony held by the shipyard yesterday.
