Lenin Sergey Tarusov, employees of the enterprise and their families.

“Today is a celebration for our team, another victory. The second vessel is being put into operation, which was built almost with our own hands on the territory of the Kamchatka Territory. It is symbolic that it bears the name “Sokok”. When we raised the first flag on the Apache, there were certain worries related to how the ship would work, how good it would be as a steamship, navigational, and fishing. Today, the first vessel “Apacha” is successfully fishing for pollock in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. The fishing and navigation qualities of the vessel allow work to be carried out in any weather. I would like to thank the entire team for their work, for their very important contribution to the development of both the enterprise’s economy and the entire Kamchatka Territory,” noted Sergei Tarusov.

At the moment, RK named after. Lenin built 5 ships, including Sokoch, and two factories. As part of the second stage of investment quotas, the company will implement 4 more projects: to build two transport ships and two coastal factories.
