It comprises 30 vessels for various purposes: 18 vessels of the transport fleet, 7 of the dredging fleet and 5 of the auxiliary fleet. The company carries out sea liner, tram, multimodal transport, cargo delivery to unequipped shores, towing of various objects, technical management (repair, supply, shipping and warehousing services), provides crew training, corrects nautical charts, and provides mixed (river-sea) navigation vessels with inland waterway charts.
In May 2022, USA imposed sanctions on the russian Northern shipping company and 27 of its vessels, including the "Mekhanik Pustoshnyy", due to the fact that the company's vessels are involved in the military logistics sector of the russian federation, transporting tanks and other military equipment for the russian armed forces.
