Russian Merchant Marine

Merchant marine may be defined as all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels that excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc. It includes barge carriers, bulk cargo ships, cargo ships, chemical tankers, ore / oil carriers, container ships, liquefied gas tankers, petroleum tankers, passenger ships, passenger / cargo ships, railcar carriers, refrigerated cargo ships, roll-on / roll-off cargo ships, short-sea passenger ships, specialized tankers.

As of the year 2000 maritime transport comprised 10 major state and jointstock shipping companies and about 300 private shipping companies, 44 commercial ports, 146 berths owned by commercial structures, 13 shipyards, the Russian Register of Shipping, 4 research institutes and 2 design bureaus, 3 naval (maritime) academies, 6 colleges and 40-odd other enterprises and entities.

Russian Merchant Marine is supervised by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, and more specifically by its Maritime Administration. The latter creates the conditions suitable to the growth of the competitive power of maritime transport and promotes the international cooperation and foreign economic relations in the field of maritime transport.

Today the Russian Merchant Marine is a branch of national economy. There is no coastal country or region in the world with which Russia is unable to carry on trade using its own tonnage.

39

Russian ships carry a half of the world’s volume of cargo. Vessels carry equipment for engineering industry, mining machinery, machine tools and instruments, as well as, coal, ore, metals, oil, timber, grain.

The Russian shipping industry really developed over the years, particularly in the international sphere. International shipping freight rose to 270 million tons in 2001 (from 240 million in 1999). Around half of this was oil and oil products. Russian shippers could double the amount of oil they export. The only thing holding them back was the lack of ships. The state of the fleet is the main problem facing the industry. The average age of Russian ships was more than 20 years.

3. Answer the following questions:

1.What does modern Merchant Marine include?

2.What countries does Russia carry on its trade?

3.What export cargoes do our ships carry?
