Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) is planning to build vessels for Argentinian clients.

It is eyeing opportunities for icebreakers and other vessels, a company spokesman told the RIA Novosti news agency.

"We have made a general presentation of the entire range of ships built at USC's shipyards with a focus on reinforced icebreakers," he added.

"We see significant opportunities for cooperation with Latin American countries on cargoships and passenger riverboats."
