As he noted during a meeting on the development of the shipbuilding industry, the replacement of foreign equipment will affect the timing and costs of building ships.

“I would like to note that the substitution of foreign equipment and components in the production of fishing and other civilian vessels may affect the parameters of already launched projects.

It is obvious.

I mean the time and cost of redesigning, which is extremely important for customers of ships, for business, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, he noted that it is necessary to make every effort so that, despite the difficulties that arise, all projects are completed with high quality and on time.

“I draw the attention of all colleagues, first of all, of course, the government and, of course, shipbuilding enterprises.

Everything must be done to ensure the implementation of production programs, to minimize (it is clear that it is impossible to minimize everything), but to minimize the impact of current negative factors, as well as to avoid their recurrence in the future, ”Putin said.

Earlier, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, on the occasion of the 86th anniversary of the founding of the shipyard, the corvette "Fast", which is being built for the Pacific Fleet, was laid down.
