The shipping platform

Location: Located on E coast of Kara Sea, in northern Russia. General overview: A small port currently used for supplying stores and fuel to the local community, however it is expected to be the location of the Yamal LNG Project terminal and storage facility in the near future. The new port would have capacity to load gas carriers with up to 15,000,000t of LNG per year, to be produced at a plant nearby in three 5,000,000t stages. Harsh weather conditions exist in this area with only 4-5 summer months ice free sea passage; in winter approx 500nm of up to 2m deep sea ice to clear waters. Ice class vessels Arc 7 and ice breakers required for these conditions.
