Russian shipbuilder Krasnoye Sormovo is trying to fill up its orderbook.

Its capacity for 2017 is 30% full, IAA PortNews cited director general Nikolai Zharkov as saying.

The yard is building three tankers of Project RST-27 scheduled for delivery to CMS and Volgotrans next year.

"It is time for active search of customers and solving the task of the shipyard loading. The shipyard needs the orders for seven vessels at least," Zharkov added.
