Okskaya shipyard will build a new multipurpose vessel for TMTP (Commercial Seaport, Tuapse), which will combine the following functions of three port ships:
- bilge water removing ship
- oil-spill boat
- fuel vessel
These three ships are overaged and shall be discarded under the medium-term programme of the TMTP port fleet renovation in 2012 to 2015. Several shipyards wanted to win the tender for the project of a total value of about 240 million roubles. Among them were foreign companies, for example, DAMEN shipyard, Netherlands. The Russian shipbuilders won the tender thanks to efficient production capacities and technologies that Okskaya shipyard uses and that allow in short terms to build an advanced multipurpose highly maneuverable vessel capable of performing tasks on integrated servicing of ships in the Tuapse water area.
On 28 March 2014, Moscow River Shipping Company accepted two tankers of large block coefficient (Type RST27, Volgo-Don Max class, sea/river deadweight 7022t /5420 t) named the Valentin Gruzdev and the Dmitry Pokrovsky. The shipbuilder is Krasnoye Sormovo. RST27 was designed by the Marine Engineering Bureau. The RST27 vessels have a very large block coefficient 0.93. The lead tanker demonstrated a speed of 11.7 kn at the shaft power of 2100 kW (0.875 of the main engine power) and bow draught of 3.2 m and aft draught of 3.3 m at the measured distance.
On 30 March 2014, the Baltika innovative multipurpose rescue vessel of 7 MW (ice class) returned from the second stage of sea acceptance trials in Helsinki.

The President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Vladimir Shmakov may soon leave his office. This is due to the fact that the Federal Security Service of Russia suspected that his admission to classified information is abusive. Recently they have finished verifying the keeping conditions of classified documents and travelling of the USC personnel admitted to the classified information. As a result, it was found out that the USC top managers responsible for the state defense order and classified information went abroad without permission. In particular, the USC President Vladimir Shmakov, on February 2014, abused the law and visited Finland. Leaving Shmakov without access to information of high importance means that he will not be able to attend discussions concerning the state defense order as well as holding scheduled meetings. Under the terms of the employment contract having access to classified information is the employment basis for the USC head.
