BLRT – surviving and building<br />

during hard times<br />

In case of some company it might<br />

seem that nothing changes, everything<br />

is in place and sure. Though, at<br />

the closer inspection and as a result<br />

of discussions the facts can become<br />

clear that everything is not as it<br />

seems. For the larger companies the<br />

changes and the keeping pace with<br />

time are the bases for success, but<br />

also a big challenge. This also applies<br />

to BLRT. The ship repair yard at<br />

the edge of Kopli in Tallinn stands<br />

firmly, Klaipeda plant works actively<br />

and Turku Repair Yard in Finland<br />

also stays firmly. Fjodor Berman, the<br />

chairman of the management board<br />

of the company, still talks about big<br />

changes and about that one has to<br />

keep updated to compete with the<br />

European top players. The state has<br />

to provide its contribution to be successful.<br />
