Sovcomflot ice-breaking support vessel wins top award

摘要

An icebreaking supply and standby vessel operated by Sovcomflot (SCF) was selected as the winner of Offshore Support Journal's Offshore Support Vessel of the Year, which is sponsored by DNV GL. Yevgeny Primakov is the last of four platform supply and emergency response vessels built for SCF's activities in the ice-prone Sea of Okhotsk. It was specifically designed to operate year-round in the sub-Arctic conditions encountered east of Sakhalin Island. This 3,670 dwt, 104 m vessel was delivered to SCF from Arctech Helsinki Shipyard in January 2018 for operations on the Sakhalin-2 project, which produces oil and gas from an offshore platform. It operates under a 20-year time-charter agreement to Sakhalin Energy.
