Some media reports about alleged division of United Shipbuilding Corporation into the military and civilian units are not true, the Corporation said Friday.

UCS currently incorporates three regional shipbuilding centers, nine engineering and design offices and 39 dockyards. The Corp’s largest shipbuilding assets include Kaliningrad-based JSC Yantar Shipyard, JSC Admiralty Shipyards (St. Petersburg), JSC PA Sevmash (Severodvinsk), JSC DVZ Zvezda (Vladivostok). Besides, UCS holds a 50% stake in Arctech Helsinki Shipyard, a joint venture with STX Finland Cruise Oy.

The Corporation participates in several major international projects: construction of a new mega shipyard Zvezda-DSME through a JV with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engeneering (South Korea), the construction jointly with Yantai Raffles (Singapore) of Vostok-Raffles Shipyard. In 2010, USC posted total revenue of RUB135 billion. Currently, USC consolidates about 70% of the domestic shipbuilding industry. The Group focuses on the Russian market, but also exports its products to 20 countries.

Port of Vladivostok traffic down 2.3 percent in Jan-Feb

Cargo throughput at Commercial Port of Vladivostok (CPV, member of FESCO Group) in January-February 2012 dropped by 2.3% year-on-year to 989,400 tons, the CPV statistics said.


FESCO Vice-president Stanislav Vartanian comments: "First of all, in the first two months of 2012 the weather environment was a lot more complicated as compared to 2011, which has affected the regularity of ships and cargo handling. Second, in general, the decrease was in the segment of metals - primarily because the cargoes were shipped from the port in less volumes (while the port’s warehouses are completely loaded with the metal).”


The two-month volume of exports, imports and coastal traffic totaled 513,900 tons of dry bulk, liquid bulk and other general cargoes excluding containers and imported vehicles.


In the reporting period, container traffic at CPV amounted to 63,496 TEUs, shipments of imported vehicles rose to 7,900 units.


In January-February, the port was handling on average 16,490 tons of cargo and 255 units of rolling stock a day.

In 2011, CPV’s cargo throughput fell 7.8% year-over-year to 6.38 million tons.
