The press service of NavMarin LLC reported that in the 2023 navigation season, foreign cartographic products for domestic vessels, for which payments were made last winter, will no longer be supported on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Maritime Register of Shipping, the Russian Classification Society (RCO) and the working group on import substitution in radio electronics "Navigation devices", the general director of NavMarin LLC Alexey Migalin notes that under the conditions of anti-Russian sanctions, Western companies will not conclude new contracts for the use of maps with Russian shipping companies.
of the River project, bahamas cell phone number list has created a collection of maps for inland waterways over the course of 20 years to replace foreign ones. "However, foreign navigation systems, which many Russian vessels use today, cannot work with domestic maps. And it turns out that only one Russian navigation system is certified that fits the format of the Ministry of Transport maps. The company that produces it will not be able to cope with the flood of orders and assemble the required number of navigation systems. In March, market players will simultaneously begin to apply for a solution. Some will be made quickly, and the rest - closer to the middle or end of navigation. This means that most vessels will either go out into navigation without equipment, if the RCO allows it, or will not go out at all," Alexey Migalin is confident.
In his opinion, this will result in an increase in accidents. "During the past navigation, 25% of vessels were released without electronic maps, as a relaxation in response to sanctions. At the same time, the number of emergency incidents related to shipping has increased. According to the Russian Emergencies Ministry, 223 accidents with vessels occurred on inland waterways of Russia in 2022, 196 people died. In such a situation, any domestic vessel outside the country will be held hostage: port control will not give technical approval to go on a raid until the ship owner provides a collection of maps with corrections to the current moment in time," says Alexey Migalin.
