has gained a vast amount of experience in diagnos-
tics, repair, maintenance, adjustment and fine-tuning
of general ship systems, information systems, naviga-

has for many years been a contractor for the Russian
Navy and is currently considering a reorientation to
civil engineering market.
The company has a full-time staff of 243, of whom
nearly 70% hold specialized degrees. Its engineer team
