Article Abstract:
The Russian shipbuilding industry expects to make solid gains in 1996, continuing the trend set by the completion of 80,000 dwt. in orders in 1995. A presidentially-backed five-year program covering the period 1996-2000 is expected to further hasted the sector's progress. The program is aimed at maintaining the technological capability of the country in commercial shipbuilding. However, the industry continues to suffer from underfinancing.
