Abstract
Russia as a leading maritime power that earned “this status because of geographical location with access to three oceans and sea borders, as well as a tremendous contribution to the study of the oceans, to the development of shipping, many great discoveries made by famous Russian navigators and adventurers” (Russian Federation (2001) Maritime Doctrine of Russian Federation until 2020. Approved by the President of the Russian Federation, 27 July 2001. Pr-1387). The Russian state is implementing a national marine policy through its public authorities on a regional basis. Russian companies are involved in the development and implementation of national maritime policy through their representatives in federal and local governments and different associations operating on the basis of the Russian Constitution and the laws of the Russian Federation.
