Three tankers for Krasnoye
Krasnoye Sormovo Shipyard has signed a contract with Kazmortransflof for the construction of three tankers.
The US$66.5 million contract envisages construction of three 13,000dwt vessels, with the delivery date of the first tanker due in September, 2009, the second in May 2010, and the third in August 2010. The tankers will be the largest to operate in the Caspian Sea, and will be
capable of entering any port without port terminal equipment. The design of the tanker was worked out by the engineering bureau of the MNP Group (at present the Volgo-Caspian Design Bureau) to transport crude oil and oil products with a flash point of less than 60o
C . The double side and double
bottom of the hull (fitted with ballast compartments) prevent oil spillage, in the event of an accident.
engineering design for a mobile floating drilling rig is underway. In a related development, in April United
Industrial Corporation (OPK) and Japanese shipbuilding and shipping companies Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Mitsui & Co, Ltd. and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, signed a memorandum of understanding for a new business cooperation. OPK said it planned to modernise
its shipbuilding capacities on Severanya Shipyard and Baltiysky Zavod in order to ensure construction of LNG carriers. Te Japanese partners will participate in
working-out OPK’s shipbuilding capacity modernisation plan needs, as well as providing consulting support directly in LNG carriers’ construction. The parties to the memorandum said
the Severnoye Siyanie (Northern Lights) and the Polyarnaya Zvezda (Polar Star) semi-submersible drilling rigs. Te Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute
has also developed draught concepts for Gazprom of an offshore ice-resistant drilling rig, engineering designs for 11 vessels to ensure offshore fields pre-development, the
they would participate in Gazprom’s coming tenders to have LNG carriers constructed for Shtokman LNG project, as well as to participate in programmes of other companies developing the Arctic shelf. NA

Global transportation takes vessels into some of the harshest and unforgiving environments on the planet. One of the challenges facing shipowners is to ensure that their crew have a suitable onboard climate regardless of how
cold it becomes outside. Custom-built to the highest Dutch quality standards, backed up by global service and support, Heinen & Hopman’s heating solutions ensure that the heat is on whenever and wherever it is required.
