"We consider with Ukrainian colleagues the integration of two large Ukrainian factories, Zorya-Mashproject and Feodosia yard More", he said. "Both of them are state-owned enterprises and have some problems with orders; while integration into USC, we could address the issue", underlined Trotsenko.
As for him, Zorya-Mashproject is an outstanding plant producing marine turbines also capable to make gas turbines; More is a large shipyard specialized in light alloy (aluminum) shipbuilding.
"We've arranged with the partners that these issues would be worked out. Please, get them under serious control", said Putin. "Moreover, we should directly participate in companies' consolidation wherever we have mutual interests", added Russian premier.
Trotsenko noted in his turn that "Ukraine is our primary importer delivering parts and shipborne systems. We receive over 6,000 items of various equipment from Ukraine; great part is either critical or unique for us", he said. "One can say plainly that without Ukraine Russian shipbuilding industry would experience real challenges", said Trotsenko.
