The RN-Vankor company (part of the Rosneft oil and gas production complex) has completed the winter-spring cargo delivery to the production facilities of the Vostok Oil project located in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. A record volume of cargo in the history of the enterprise was delivered along the Northern Sea Route and winter highways – over 830 thousand tons of materials and equipment. Compared to the previous period, the volume of imported goods increased by 32%.
For transportation along the Northern Sea Route, 14 marine bulk carriers and 4 tankers were involved, which performed 55 flights from the ports of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, accompanied by three nuclear and four diesel icebreakers.
Metal structures, pipes, road slabs, inert and combustible lubricants, construction equipment, cable and wire products and other general cargo were delivered to the production bases of Tanalau, Karaul and Vorontsovo.
Unloading was carried out on ice solders on the Yenisei River, including the method of parallel unloading of several vessels, which was successfully tested last year.
For further cargo delivery on winter roads, an extensive fleet of more than 3 thousand heavy-duty trucks and other specialized equipment was involved, which completed more than 42 thousand flights. For the first time, winter roads with a total length of more than 2 thousand km were directly connected
Dudinka with the "Bay of the North" and the port of P. Dixon.
The imported material and technical resources are necessary for the construction of the infrastructure of the Vostok Oil project ‑ pipelines, oil pumping stations, an oil loading terminal and the port complex "Bukhty Sever", social facilities, as well as exploration and production drilling at the fields of the Payakh and Vankor clusters.
