The Yantar Baltic Shipbuilding Plant (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC) is postponing the commissioning of the Viktor Gavrilov large freezing fishing trawler (BMRT) by at least a year and is demanding that the customer increase the contract value by 1.2 billion rubles. This was told to Vedomosti by two sources in different fishing companies and one at a shipbuilding enterprise in St. Petersburg.
The plant does not have time to hand over the trawler to the customer, the Lenin Fishing Collective Farm in Kamchatka, on time, and refuses to build it without additional funding, they say. The cost of building the ship may exceed 8 billion rubles, the interlocutors say. The USC enterprise began building the ship in April 2019, under the contract it was supposed to be delivered in 2023. A Vedomosti source familiar with the construction process claims that the BMRT initially cost more than 7 billion rubles.
