Russia’s state United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) is plotting a move into the ship propulsion sector.
It will build a plant called USC-Propulsion this year to produce systems for vessels, a spokesperson told the Prime news agency.
The idea is to completely replace imports, covering all Russian demand.
“In 2019, USC wants to create a centre of product specialisation in partnership with producers and developers of diesel and electric engines," the company said.
