The problems of huge shipyard and mechanical plant were on the agenda in a recent government session, Sevmash reports in a press release.
In the meeting, Sevmash Director General Nikolai Kalistratov said that the Russian state over the last 20 years has not made any investments to the development of plant’s industrial capacities, at the same as the company has been forced into new challenging projects.
