Fishing companies have decided to terminate investment contracts for the construction of 16 ships ordered at Russian shipyards as part of the first stage of the federal program "quotas for keels." As a result, instead of the planned 107 ships, only 90–91 ships will be built on time.
Part of the terminated quotas will be redistributed at auctions. This will allow new customers to complete the construction of ships. This development was predictable, and the main factors were the difficult macroeconomic situation and the high key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which makes loans less accessible. In addition, Western sanctions policy has complicated the process of acquiring the necessary components and components for construction.
The "quotas for keels" program is aimed at modernizing the Russian fishing fleet, providing domestic companies with investment quotas for catching aquatic biological resources in exchange for obligations to build new ships at Russian shipyards.
