Rosneft charters tankers

摘要

Rosneft shipping arm Rosnefteflot has leased three river-sea tankers from SVL for two years on a bareboat charter basis. The SVL Liberty, SVL Loyalty and SVL Unity will be renamed the RN Samara, RN Syzran and RN Saratov. After head- ing to Kavkaz, they will be used on the river network in summer and for seaborne product exports in winter. They will carry fuel oil from Samara and Saratov to stor- age tankers in the Kerch strait during the current navigation season, traders say.
