National engineering center of the fishing industry of Russia

Analysis of the Russian fishing industry has showed a number of problems associated with the lack of an integrated approach to creating added value along the entire production chain: from fishing to supplying finished products to consumers on the basis of a unified planning of economic activities on ships and enterprises in coastal regions. Reengineering and transition to digital platforms are key elements of modernizing the Russian fishing industry. There is no specialized engineering center in Russia that would systematically deal with the problems of modernizing the industry with knowledge of its specifics and holistic perception. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the need to create and develop the concept of a national engineering center for the fishing industry in Russia as a center that integrates innovations in the fishing industry. Based on a systematic analysis, the need is shown of creation such a center in the structure of the Federal Agency for Fishery with placement on the territory of the Special Economic Zone in the Kaliningrad Region, characterized by significant preferential conditions and opportunities for digital shipbuilding and production of deep processing of aquatic biological resources. The analysis of the market and resources has been carried out, the organizational structure and the concept of the Roadmap of the center have been developed, the risks of the implementation of the project for the creation of the center have been analyzed, the prospects for the development of digital engineering in the fishing industry have been shown. Creation of the center will allow starting a systematic import substitution of equipment in the concept of "Intelligent System": fishing shipbuilding - ship equipment for catching, transshipment and transportation of the catch - specialized ship and onshore processing facilities for seafood - logistics centers supplier - consumer. The proposed concept will allow integrating engineering and technological innovations into the fishing industry in a mutually agreed manner.
