Until 2036, the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) will build more than 1.6 thousand units of civil vessels and marine equipment of various types. This was reported to "Perviy Technicheskiy" in the press service of USC.
Among the most common types are bulk carriers, icebreakers, tankers, research and passenger ships, and others.
The USC development strategy, which determined the direction of the entire industry, formed the basis of the updated "Strategy for the Development of the Shipbuilding Industry", which the Russian government approved on May 12, 2025.
The document formulates the key problems of domestic shipbuilding, ways to solve them, as well as the goals and objectives facing the state and industry, USC reminded.
In the priority areas for the development of domestic shipbuilding, the state, represented by the relevant ministries, sets the development of the Northern Sea Route and the development of the North-South transport corridor, which stimulate the acquisition of new competencies in the field of merchant fleet construction. Also important for the country is the accelerated renewal of the passenger and fishing fleet.
In this context, if we take it as a whole, the priority areas of USC are Arctic projects, civil shipbuilding, the implementation of state defense orders and the digitalization of production.
Therefore, the main production programs of USC include the construction of ships for the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route, the expansion of the civil fleet, primarily the "river-sea" class, the construction of submarines and surface warships, as well as the introduction of import-substituted domestic equipment and IT technologies.
