On August 23, 2011 as scheduled, came into force the technical Regulation "on maritime transport" which governs through 55 Gost regulations the concerned sector.
The draft of technical regulation Gost R was approved by resolution of the Russian Federation Government № 620, signed by Vladimir Putin on 12 August 2010 and published in the Official Gazette (№ 34 P. 4474) on August 23, 2010, also establishing its actual entry into force 12 months later. The resolution states that: the Russian Ministry of Transport in collaboration with other agencies, within six months, will submit to the Government a list of national rules and regulations regarding the research methodology and metrology in order to adjust and check the national standard in the shipping industry.

The object of the regulation is identified with any seagoing or inland waterway vessel, either in the case where the owner, designer and / or producer are Russian legal entities or foreign, with the sole exception of military vessels orunder the protection of the government of the Russian Federation and which carry out public service; are also excluded floating platforms and offshore installations.
The regulation contains eleven subcategories Gost certificate for Russia: Gost for explosion safety, Gost for structural safety, Gost for thermal safety, Gost for electrical safety,Gost for mechanical safety, Gost security environment, Gost for EMC, GOST requirements for navigation and communication, GOST requirements for marine equipment, Gost for lifesaving equipment requirements and finally GOST requirements for facilities for the transfer of oil and its derivatives.

The Russian naval situation has suffered in past years mainly the backwardness of its vehicles, most non-military fleet boats had been inherited from the Soviet Union and are no longer in an excellent state of preservation. From an article byC5-Online in June 2008 on the situation of the Russian commercial fleet, it is understandable the importance of that moment in which Russia turn to be one ofthe major players in international maritime trade driven by the increasingly large volumes of trade between Asia and Europe, the internal transport of water was at a crucial moment in its development and in need of funds, and finally the situation of Russian-built tonnage appeared to be at new stage thanks to the flourishing economic situation, the project for opening Arctic route and the need to exploit the oil fields offshore both in the north and east.

The two major ports in Russia are the harbor of Novorossiysk which stands the terminal with the most commercial traffic and the port is St. Petersburg, which is instead the terminal in Russia with the largest container structure. The two ports have experienced a growth in early 2011, especially with regard to the first promoted, given its location on the southern Black Sea, from the preparations Winter Olympics to be held in Sochi in 2014. Unlike 2010, when the port of Novorossiysk was found to suffer a loss of volume equal to 12% in part because of the embargo imposed by the Russian Federation concerning the export of wheat consequently fires that destroyed many crops in summer 2010 .

Ice-free Arctic summers are instead encouraging the use of the routes north and accordingly Murmarsk port, which is located in an ideal location for trade between China and Europe following the new paths. About Murmarks addition, the government's attempt to privatize the ferry company that bears its name has not had any luck, it seems international investors are much more likely to purchase the units in the port facilities rather than in shipping companies.
About the safety of river boats in Russia, the summer was marked by the incident that saw an old cruise ship tipping on the Volga, and has produced the deaths of several people, situation that made the debate on the state of the Russian naval industry current and the focus of everyone.
