Project of architecture of industrial-financial and scientific-technological contour

USC Industrial CoreVTB Financial and Management OutlineInmortrans Engineering - Scientific OutlineOcean 80 Pilot/operational circuit

Working strategy paper • 30 August 2026

1. Design

It is proposed to form a single shipbuilding circuit around SPECZASHCHITA, which connects industrial production, financial recovery and investment, scientific and engineering expertise, new materials, the ship's digital life cycle and pilot operation.

Goal

To move from disparate projects to a managed portfolio of ships, technologies and production facilities - from idea and material to serial construction, service, repair, modernization and recycling.

Role SPECZASHCHITA

The organizer of cooperation: forms consortia, project passports, a register of technologies and suppliers, validation contours, pilots and a scaling mechanism.

Key principle

Do not replace USC, VTB or specialized institutions, but create a project layer between them, in which the technical solution, money, order, production capacity and operational need are visible in one balance.

2. Reference institutional framework

ParticipantConfirmed frameProposed function in contour
USCThe largest state shipbuilding holding; enterprises build civil and special vessels, conduct ship repair and develop composite technologies.Industrial core, shipyards, KB, seriality, standardization of production platforms.
VTB100% USC shares transferred to VTB Bank in trust management 5 the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation753 from 09.10.2023 the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation94From 19.01.2024.Financial model, investment control, project financing, restructuring and KPI.
InmortransOpen sources confirm SNPS of maritime transport "Inmortrans" (St. Petersburg) and its historical connection with maritime transport. The current organizational role needs to be legally and effectively verified.Engineering and scientific expertise, regulatory and technical documentation, testing, modeling of transport systems - after verification of status and competencies.
Ocean 80The name requires the fixation of a specific legal entity / project. The document is used as the working name of the participant specified by the initiator.Pilot operation, operational customer / project office, naval and marine scenarios - after confirmation of the profile.

3. Architecture "SPECZASHCHITA - Shipbuilding"

  1. 1. Portfolio of orders: The needs of the state, cargo owners, regions, ports, the Arctic, the river and the sea fleet; ranking by economy and criticality.
  2. 2. Product Platforms: Unification of hulls, power, propulsion, electronics, ship systems and digital components; seriality instead of single solutions.
  3. 3. Materials science: ship steels and alloys, aluminum and titanium systems, composites, technical ceramics, synthetic crystals, ultra-pure materials, protective coatings.
  4. 4. Shipyards and production chains: USC and partners capacities, loading workshops, bottlenecks, robotization, modular assembly, domestic machine and welding equipment.
  5. 5. Financial Outline: CAPEX/OPEX, Life cycle cost, leasing, project financing, guarantees, factoring, off-take and portfolio risk management.
  6. 6. Digital twin: Digital ship passport, traceability of materials and components, configuration management, maintenance as of.
  7. 7. Testing and validation: Classification requirements, resource testing, climate and corrosion regimes, metrology, certification, evidence base.
  8. 8. Operation and service: Service centers, spare parts, repair, modernization, crew training, feedback to the design and production circuit.

4. Materials science as a cross-cutting technological module

Materials science should be allocated to an independent competence center within the shipbuilding circuit. This links the previously worked out directions SPECZASHCHITA - supercritical metallurgy/SKFE, ceramics and synthetic crystals - with the specific tasks of the fleet.

5. Nine priority programmes

1. River-sea platform - Serial dry cargo ships, tankers, tugs and service fleet on a unified basis.

2. Arctic contour - Ice classes, supply, rescue, hydrography, autonomous complexes and resource materials.

3. Passenger and high-speed fleet - Catamarans, electric vessels, hybrid power plants, regional mobility.

4. Port and technical fleet - Dredging, rescue, fire, environmental and towing vessels.

5. Underwater Robotics — AUV/ROV, inspection of pipelines and buildings, search, monitoring of biocenoses and infrastructure.

6. Shipbuilding engineering - Engines, gearboxes, engines, pumps, compressors, valves and power engineering.

7. Marine electronics - Navigation, communication, sensors, automation, cyber defense, power electronics.

8. Service 40+ years - Repair cycles, predictive maintenance, reverse design and modernization of the fleet.

9. Green Shipyard and Circularity - Accounting for materials, waste, emissions, metal recovery and ship recycling.

7. Balance system and KPI

  • Portfolio of orders: rubles, number of vessels, coverage of production capacities
  • Construction period: months from contract to delivery, deviation from schedule
  • Cost: RUB/ship, share of repeated decisions, labor intensity
  • Localization: share of domestic critical components and materials
  • Productivity: normal hours/tons, release at the key workshop/stage
  • Quality: defects, alterations, warranty cases
  • Life cycle: cost of ownership, ship availability, repair time
  • Materials: resource, corrosion, wear, mass, proportion of materials with a digital passport
  • Energy: specific fuel/energy consumption, power plant efficiency
  • Finance: NPV/IRR, DSCR, working capital, overdue, financing cost
  • Personnel: lack of competence, productivity, training of specialists
  • Ecology: waste, emissions, leakage, recycling and reuse of materials

8. Road map 0–36 months

0–90 days - Verification of participants and credentials; register of current projects; selection of 3 pilots; inventory of materials science and critical component base; agreement on the project office.

3–6 months — Technical and financial audit of pilots; unified project passports; digital capacity model; laboratory-stand tests of new materials and coatings.

6–12 months — Contraction of the first stage; launch of the digital passport of the vessel; industrial pilot on materials; formation of the service and leasing contour.

12–24 months - Serial unification; launch of the center of competence of marine materials science; scaling at 2–3 shipyards and supply chains.

24–36 months — Portfolio model at the industry level; export / interregional projects; integration of life cycle data; second cycle of technological modernization.

9. Three Pilots to Launch

Pilot A. Serial civil vessel

  • to choose the demanded class of "river -sea" or technical fleet;
  • to unify 60–70% systems and components;
  • consider the economy not only of construction, but also of 20–30-year life cycle;

Pilot B. Materials and coatings

  • choose 3–5 nodes with a high cost of failure / repair;
  • compare traditional and new materials in the same modes;
  • fix the resource, cost, maintainability and localization;

Pilot C. Digital Fleet Service

  • digital passport of the body, mechanisms and critical parts;
  • status monitoring + repair forecast;
  • closing of operation data back to KB and to the shipyard.
