Rosneft needs about 300 support vessels for the development of the license areas in the Kara Sea, IAA PortNews journalist cites Andrey Shishkin, Vice-President of Rosneft, as saying at the Adam Smith Conference “Russian Arctic Oil and Gas” in Moscow.

According to him, the offshore development will generally require “an absolutely different approach and an attitude of the state other than it used to practice before”.
