2024: System Creation

On June 18, 2024, it became known that the Russian IT company Sitronics, which is part of AFK Sistema, sent a proposal to the Ministry of Transport to create a unified digital system for managing water transport. The deployment of such a platform can cost "hundreds of billions of rubles."

About the initiative, as reported by the newspaper "Vedomosti," said the president of "Sitronics" Nikolai Pozhidaev. The idea is to form a seamless digital space by combining different data sources, including information from existing information systems. The emergence of a single platform is expected to increase the transparency of logistics, management and planning of marine, river and multimodal transportation. In addition, the speed, efficiency and availability of traffic on sea and river highways will increase.

According to Pozhidaev, the introduction of the system will help business and the state in understanding and optimizing transport and cargo flows. It is assumed that this will lead to an increase in cargo turnover and will contribute to the development of the country's economy.

NTI MariNet market expert Andrei Skatin believes that the development will require significant costs from many market participants, including the state. According to him, the creation of the necessary software may require from 1.5 to 2 billion rubles. Equipment can cost significantly more, but its cost is "extremely difficult to estimate." General Director of Sitronics KT Andrei Rodionov proposes to consider the option of public-private partnership and the project as a concession with one of the state parties. In general, Anton Pleshkov, General Director of Marine Innovations LLC, believes that the creation of the complex, taking into account the shortage of equipment, as well as indirect costs for the modernization of the geophysical network and the new satellite constellation, can cost "hundreds of billions of rubles."[1]
