SCF Group (Sovcomflot) president and chief executive Sergey Frank jokes that he had always promised Captain Sergey Zybko a very modern LNG carrier — and the now highly experienced master has hit the jackpot.
In 2007, when TradeWinds first encountered Zybko on his ship off Barcelona in Spain, he was master of the 1969-built SCF Arctic, which was one of the two oldest LNG vessels in the global fleet at the time.
