The Valery Vasilyev left Berth No15 of Murmansk Commercial seaport JSC (MMTP) and set out for her voyage along the Northern Sea Route to deliver a cargo to Port of Sabetta. This was the last shipment under the framework of the MMTP’s Arctic Program implemented this year, the stevedoring company said.
The cargo of nearly 13,000 tonnes, includes primarily sand and gravel, containers and several units of heavy construction equipment. The multi-tonne equipment was loaded in tandem by a pair of Condor gantry cranes.
