No. The visa exemption rule for merchant seaman only applies to Ukrainians, Poles and Lithuanians. The 144-hour TWOV also do not apply to you because you are not departing from Shanghai but Ningbo.

I take that back. Russian citizens are allowed to enter China as merchant seamen if they travel on duty, hold a Port Visa Notification, Letter of Employment or Letter of Guarantee issued by a Chinese shipping company, Seaman Book, onward tickets and all documents required for their next destination. If not meeting all of these requirements you must hold a C (crew) visa.
