Russia's new Zvezda shipyard will expand its orderbook to between 120 and 130 vessels.

This is according to Kirill Molodtsov, assistant to Russia's presidential chief of staff, who was quoted by PortNews.

Yard owner Rosneft said in January that the yard has orders for 37 vessels so far.

It revealed orders for 19 more tankers and offshore ships that were previously unreported.
