The construction of Varandey oil offloading terminal and its main offshore component – the fixed offshore ice-resistant offloading terminal (FOIROT) Varandey – has been completed. Since 2005 Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) has performed survey over design and construction of the FOIROT Varandey, including industrial safety expertise for the main equipment of the structure RS performs survey over the transport infrastructure of the terminal: series of ice class shuttle tankers (lead ship VASILY DINKOV), icebreaker VARANDEY, supply vessel TOBOY.
The system created for offshore large-tonnage oil loading and shipment in the polar region is absolutely unique. During the FOIROT Varandey construction the latest achievements in the design and construction of fixed offshore platforms and remote offloading facilities have been implemented: integrated automatic mooring and offloading control system, special process of pile detachment in the supporting foundation and other modern technologies.
