Old problems hinder restructure
Article Abstract:
Virtually all Russian shipyards have been striving to restructure themselves to cope with the loss of government subsidies and the shift to a free market system. Some progress has been achieved in this regard but observers note how leftover practices from the old centralized system are hindering such efforts.
