The crew of the nuclear-powered containership “Sevmorput” has completed unloading construction materials intended for the Vostok Oil project, says FSUE Atomflot.
Unloading of about 6,000 tonnes of general cargo onto the fast ice of the Yenisey river commenced on March 25.
According to Leonid Irlitsa, Acting General Director of Atomflot, the channel for the nuclear-powered containership to access to the fast ice was made by nuclear-powered icebreaker Vaygach. The unloading operation was held according to the plan.
Assisted by the Vaygach, Sevmorput is currently heading for Murmansk where it will be loaded with more construction materials for Vostok Oil.
