DescriptionThe Arctic shuttle tanker, the second vessel in a series of three reinforced ice-class tankers designed to transport oil produced in the Arctic region of russia at the Varandey field, belongs to the sanctioned PJSC Sovcomflot, the largest state-owned shipping company in russia that services and supports offshore hydrocarbon production and transports russian oil, oil products and liquefied natural gas. The main charterers of Sovcomflot's vessels are russia's largest oil and gas companies and traders. PJSC Sovcomflot is involved in servicing major oil and gas projects in russia, including Varandey and Prirazlomnoye. The main operation of the tanker is the transportation of crude oil from the Varandey ice-resistant offshore shipping terminal in the Barents Sea to Murmansk. The Varandey oil loading terminal (affiliated with the sanctioned Lukoil) provides year-round transshipment of oil produced in the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province, located above the Arctic Circle in the village of Varandey on the shores of the Barents Sea. To transport oil, the tanker is equipped with ten tanks, each with a capacity of about 8,000 cubic meters. Typically, the tanker transports about 70 thousand tons of crude oil per voyage. The vessel transports oil from the Varandey oil export terminal, the Prirazlomnoye Arctic offshore oil field in the Pechora Sea (a stationary platform, which is the world's first ice-resistant Arctic-class oil platform), in particular, to Murmansk, to the FSO KOLA floating storage tanker (IMO 9217979, under USA sanctions). On January 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel. Since September 12, 2025, the United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on the vessel.[sources]
