“The mechanism of the investment quota program has become an effective incentive for the industry development,” commented RFC CEO Fedor Kirsanov. - We are already seeing the first real results. At the end of August this year the RFC launched the first Russian Cod coastal plant in Murmansk. Next year, the first super trawlers that RFC is building in the frame of the first round of the investment quota program will be launched. In general, the company will build the longest series of ships of this type in Russia and the industry will have at its disposal the most modern fleet in the world today. ”

New vessels will be built at the Admiralty Shipyards (St. Petersburg), where today a series of six vessels for the RFC is under construction.
