Industry | Russia increases production of marine coatings

Driven by the overall prosperity of the domestic shipbuilding industry, Russia's demand for marine coatings is rising.
Due to the establishment of their own production facilities in Russia by some international companies and the efforts of local manufacturers who have proved highly competitive, domestic production has grown steadily.
The Russian shipbuilding industry is entering a new era.
The new government-managed fishing fleet renewal program will result in the construction of as many as 40 new fishing vessels in the country in the next few years, with a total value of approximately 110 billion rubles (approximately US$1.
8 billion).
Russian shipyards are also mastering the production of cruise ships, the first of which has already begun construction.
These two are important milestones in the Russian shipbuilding industry, because Russia has not built large fishing boats and cruise ships in the past 40 years.
However, it is precisely because of the development of the North Sea Route (NSR) that Russian analysts say that a bright future for the national shipbuilding industry is about to emerge.
Russian President Vladimir Putin (Vladimir Putin) earlier ordered the government to increase NSR's freight volume by nearly four times to 80 million tons per year.
NSR is the shortest waterway from Europe to Asia.
Its upcoming development is mainly related to global warming.
The path covered by ice for thousands of years is now melting, so the ice cover in this area is gradually shrinking.
The Russian government is expected in the foreseeable future, NSR may become Su Yishi Yunhe real alternatives, but cargo traffic growth needs new tankers, icebreakers, rescue boats and support vessels.

5% to 2% of the global marine coatings market.
Averyanov estimates that there is a clear growth trend in the market, with demand for shipbuilding coatings increasing by 5% to 10% annually.
"Russian companies are steadily increasing their market share.
In 2018 and the first half of 2019, the share of Russian origin coatings in the domestic market was between 55% and 57%.
This is the assessment of independent analysts.
" Averyanov said.
There are many prerequisites for the growth of Russian marine coatings production.
First, some international companies, including Jotun and Hempel, have localized production in the country.
Their output is growing, but not fast enough.
Averyanov said: “It not only takes time to localize the ingredients and replace imported raw materials with local raw materials, but also requires certification and correct methods to keep the quality parameters of the products at the same level.

"We found that our market share is as high as at any time in the past 10 years.
So, yes, business is very beneficial to us.
" He said.
He said that Haihong Elderly uses anti-pollution performance as Haihong Elder's patented technology, which provides energy-saving advantages over competitors.
"I also believe that Haihong Elderly provides the best technical services through its experienced team.
We insist on our service and product quality.
In addition, with our factory in Ulyanovsk, we will provide the best technical services for Russia.
High-quality local production provides strong support, provides employment opportunities for Russia, contributes to the Russian economy, and supports charities.
” De Groot added.
Haihong Elderly announced that it plans to double the production performance of its Ulyanovsk plant by 2021.
Jotun opened a factory in Leningrad Oblast, Russia in 2017.
This factory can produce 12 million liters of paint and 3,600 tons of powder coatings each year .
Jotun’s total investment in this project is approximately 170 million rubles (US$24 million).
Localization becomes necessaryLocalization becomes necessary.
Both companies stated that production localization aims to strengthen their position in the Russian market.
"Jordan believes that production in Russia will support our ambitious sales plan and enable us to be closer to our customers," said Morten Fon, President and CEO of Jotun at the establishment of the Jordan factory.
The idea of ​​localizing the production of marine coatings is also related to the import substitution plan launched by the Russian government in 2014.
In some areas, such as fisheries, certain localization goals have been set for new ships, and these companies must match in order to obtain state support.
Some Russian shipyards only allow local companies to participate when they initiate bidding procedures for the supply of marine coatings.
Everyone believes that this trend will only develop in the future.
"The available capacity of Russian manufacturers and international companies with localized production capacity makes it possible to restrict or even abandon the import of marine coatings.
The task of increasing the production of coatings for shipbuilding and ship repair exists," Averyanov said.
"One of the main factors affecting the market is the stricter requirements for (using) local production under the import substitution program, which has prompted each manufacturer to decide (in Russia) to create and increase the output of such products in order to achieve significant results.
" Ivailo Atanasov, Akzo Nobel Regional Manager for Russia, Eastern Europe, Black Sea and Turkey, said.
"Akzo Nobel Marine and Protective Coatings has invested heavily in the local production of Lipetsk, and has begun to produce a variety of products for the Russian market.
" The Akzo Russian School Russian School Russian marine coating manufacturer has a strong scientific foundation.
Because some state-owned research institutions have been engaged in research and development projects in this field for a long time, and promised to bring the results to the market soon.
For example, St.
Petersburg State University reported earlier that it has designed antifouling coatings with certain unique properties, which are in high demand not only in Russia but also in the global market.
According to Alexander Railkin, a senior scientist at the university, his team has successfully identified a group of natural compounds described as "environmentally friendly and as effective as paints available on the market.
" Scientists have tested their new coatings in the White Sea and South China Sea.
The main feature of this new technology is that scientists do not use any copper in their products, so there is no harm to nature.
The compounds tested by Russian scientists are oxidizing the biological macromolecules of weeds and marine life, so they cannot even gain a foothold on ships.
There are several other projects in different Russian institutions, all of which may arouse the interest of Russian paint manufacturers.
"Russian companies have been investing heavily in the development of new shipbuilding coatings.
Russia has rich experience in the characteristics of shipbuilding and ship repair coatings, and has good academic qualifications, history and production experience in this field.
" Averyanov said.
"Receipt Russia coating is based on the adaptation of imported and domestic raw materials.
This provides an opportunity to master the production of new paint, improve the existing parameters, and in a timely manner to any changes in customer tastes react.
" More Register paint more According to Leonid Ivanov, director of the marine and aviation coatings department of JSC Russian Paints, JSC Russian Paints began to form commercial quotations in the marine coatings field in early 2017.
It is based on the company's experience in the field of anti-corrosion industrial coatings and some new development results.
"The basic principle we followed in this project is to provide customers with a full range of paints under the PK-Marine brand to spray all major exterior surfaces of the car body, ballast tanks, bulk cargo tanks, oil tanks, internal residential and office spaces, plus The marine putty used as a primer was used to level the surface.
Later, our product portfolio added five more paints produced under the PK-Marine brand for inland watercraft repairs.
"Ivanov said: “Now, JSC Russian Paints is actively participating in testing new marine coatings and conducting a lot of technical tests with our consumers.
One of the new products that the company is preparing to introduce to the market is a new anti-icing paint.
.
" .
" JSC Russian Paint is not only investing in new coatings, but other Russian companies, including Acrus, VMP Nave, HC Pigment and Emlak are also investing.
A spokesperson for St.
Petersburg Emlak Company said that the company recently served as a new cruise ship in Russia.
The construction of Mustay Karim provided all coatings, which is a unique project of the Russian shipbuilding industry.
The spokesperson added that Emlak has been producing marine coatings for 25 years, not only providing products for Russian customers, but also Exports to the CIS region and the European Union.
Ivanov said that as of today, nearly 400 types of marine coatings registered in the Russian Maritime Registry will be used in Russia.
The share of Russian brands is close to 10%.
Ivanov added that 126 types of coatings are registered Originated from Russia, but two-thirds of them are brought to the market by the local chemical plants of international companies.
However, as Russian manufacturers increasingly participate in the bidding process of Russian shipyards, the momentum of imported substitutes is increasing .
