Russia holds extensive expertise across all sectors of modern shipbuilding, offering significant potential for joint projects with Brazil, Russian Presidential Aide, Chairman of the Maritime Board Nikolay Patrushev said during a meeting with Rodrigo Zerbone Loureiro, Brazil's Acting Minister of Development, Industry, Trade, and Services. "Russia has accumulated substantial experience in all aspects of modern shipbuilding development, providing numerous areas of common interest for our nations," Patrushev noted. "Developing the oil and gas sector, particularly on the Brazilian continental shelf, requires expanding the fleet and offshore platforms. Brazil and Russia possess strong potential for cooperation across all these fields," the head of the Maritime Board said. These initiatives could be implemented through Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), he concluded.
