In Russia, the total number of cargo vessels of sea restricted navigation areas (these are classes R1 and R2) and mixed river-sea navigation (these are classes R2-RSN, R3-RSN, M-SP, M-PR, O-PR) is decreasing at an increasing rate. In 2007, there were 2,494 such vessels, in 2010 - 2,119 vessels, in 2017 - 1,722 vessels, and in 2020 - already 1,550 vessels. There is a reduction in almost all positions, an average of 72 ships per year (but this does not mean that they are written off, and may well move to other classes, not Russian).

In fact, there were 1,077 dry cargo ships in 2020, of which 246 were new (22.8%). According to the "Soviet" series-2020-831 vessels, the forecast of the Marine Engineering Bureau for 2025 - 552 vessels, for 2030-208 vessels. The new vessels will prevail in the dry cargo segment from about 2027.

In fact, there were 478 oil tankers in 2020, of which 237 were new (49.6%). According to the "Soviet" series-2020-241 vessels, the forecast for 2025 - 170 vessels, for 2030-40 vessels will remain. The new vessels in the tanker segment have already reached parity with the old fleet.
