Former Primorsky Vice-Governor gets high-ranking job with Fishery Division of Russian Sea Group

Igor Uleisky, ex-vice governor of Primorsky Krai Province (Capital Vladivostok), joined Russian Sea -Fishery Company - not a formal subsidiary of the Russian Sea Group but rather the fishing arm of the same owners, according to http://www.megafishnet.com/.   

There are rumors he will be involved into negotiations on purchase of NBAMR - a major pollock harvester in the Russian Far East. 

Some market players think the very fact that Peter Savchuk (ex-CEO of NBAMR) became General Director of Russian Sea-Fishery Company means the operation plans to buy BAMR.  However, other sources claim Savchuk's transfer to Russian Sea is not related with the hypothetical deal. 

A source in Primorsky Administration believes that Uleisky might success in negotiations with NBAMR owners, though other sources seriously doubt if he is a skilled enough negotiator.

By quota size NBAMR is second largest fishing company in Russia (no. 1 is Murmansk Trawl Fleet).  The company owns 17 vessels, catching about 150-160 th.tn of fish and squid per year.  This is about 12% of total catch in Pacific Russia.  The main shareholder is Larisa Belobrova, wife of ex-governor of Primorsky Krai.  She reportedly owns 75% of Dalinvestgroup, which owns 81.68% of NBAMR.  The company CEO is Oleg Darkin, the ex-governor's elder brother.
