Russia to Develop New Marine Engines for Shipbuilding Program by 2050
Russia is set to develop a new line of domestic marine engines to fulfill its shipbuilding program requirements by 2050, as stated by presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev. An approved shipbuilding program for the Federal Security Service and a draft for the Navy are nearing completion, alongside a civilian vessel construction program.
The consolidated shipbuilding initiative will ensure the quality and quantity of Russia's naval and civilian fleets. The focus will be on creating advanced domestic marine hardware, particularly propulsion systems, including diesel, gas turbine, dual-fuel, and hydrogen-powered engines. UEC-Saturn's progress in modern marine gas turbine engines received praise, alongside a project on an air-independent propulsion system utilizing a hydrogen electrochemical generator.
