Double acting tanker set for Pechora Sea debut
Te first of two new Arctic double acting shuttle tankers for the Prirazlomnoye project has entered service.
Mikhail Ulyanov (IMO Number: 9333670) was delivered to Sovcomflot by Admiralty Shipyard at the end of February. The state of the art vessel, designed
T
by Aker Arctic Technology, is currently undertaking general duties in the spot market, but her destiny lies in plying one of the harshest of trades, shuttling oil from the Prirazlomnoye oil field development in the Pechora Sea to a Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) unit moored off Murmansk. Sister ship Kiril Lavrov is also soon to
be delivered to service an area which is covered in ice during the entire winter navigation season, with ice first forming in November and lasting until June. During hard winter seasons ice can of over 1.2m in thickness can form. Operations will continue year around in an area where the average number of
he result of a unique collaboration involving an overseas designer and a Russian shipbuilder, the 70,000dwt
ice period days is 213, and the minimum air temperature is -46°C. Oil Production is expected to last for 22 years. Originally envisaged as an Aframax
design, the eventual selection of smaller ships came about due to concern with the draught and the stern loading effects in the shallow platform location, where there was a risk of flushing of the supporting beam for the ice resistant platform. Consequently the concept ship was reduced to feature a draught of less than 14m and with a bow loading system adopted. At 257.33m long and 34.04m wide,
Mikhail Ulyanov features a draſt of 14.0m and a depth of 21.6m. Te ship features a total cargo tank capacity of 87,029m3 and separated ballast tanks of 35,200m3. She is fitted with 10 Marflex electrically driven deepwell type pumps for cargo tanks and two electrically driven deepwell type pumps for slop tanks. The ship features a tailor made Bow loading system for the Prirazlomnoy
Mikhail Ulyanov under construction at the Admiralty Yard.
