ICE-CLASS AHTS EMBARKS ON CHARTER WITH GAZPROM

摘要

November 2015 saw Havyard Ship Technology in Norway conduct a naming ceremony for the first of three icebreakers, Aleut, which it is building for Femco in Russia. The contract to build the Havyard 843 ICE icebreaking anchor-handling tug/supply (AHTS) vessels was signed in November 2013. After the naming ceremony, Aleut sailed to Murmansk in Russia to load equipment and provisions before heading for the Prirazlomnoye field, which is situated between the Russian mainland and Novaya Zemlya. Aleut is operating there having been chartered by the Russian oil company Gazprom. Two icebreakers Havyard delivered in 2006 also work in the field.
