A first Russian-built, ice-breaking LNG carrier and an aframax newbuilding have been named at the Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex, with Russian President Vladimir Putin attending the event.
Sovcomflot’s 172,600-cbm Alexey Kosygin is the first of 15 Arc7 LNG carriers ordered to serve the Novatek-led, under-construction Arctic LNG 2 project in the Russian Arctic.
