Vessel leasing may be linked to market indices This proposal is proposed by USC, which considers last year's results "monstrous". As Kirill Turopov, CEO of the Civil Shipbuilding Corporation, said, if since 2016 an average of 126 ships have been strengthened per year, then last year there were only 36. This year there was no significant improvement. According to the data of the Ministry of Taxation, 63 contracts were closed against an average of 152 for the years 2020-2024. At the same time, according to the department's assessment, market demand has increased from 1,100 to 2,665 ships since 2022. USC offers to solve problems, among other things, by means of a leasing index, which "is well used for renting strollers." According to Turofov, shipowners in this case will receive a more flexible mechanism for running programs. It's hard to argue about flexibility, but cart leasing as a positive example surprised me - here, too, things have been pretty sad lately. So far, the budget for the federal project to support shipbuilding includes about 190 billion for three years, including 136 billion to support the demand of shipyards. In the TMT Ministry, as Deputy Head of the Department Albert Karimov said, the emphasis is now on a new tool - stimulating demand through the Industrial Development Fund, which works with the leasing companies. We are talking about preferential financing for 25 years. But the tool itself is still under development. In general, the emphasis is on ships with a large production volume, and all government support instruments are planned to be refocused on a long-term shipbuilding development program.
