DescriptionOcean 28 departed from the Chinese port of Zhangjiagang on September 24 and arrived in the port of Utrenny on October 30, 2024. During the delivery of equipment from China, the Chinese vessels sailed more than 1,500 nautical miles in partially ice-covered seas, without having an ice classification. At the same time, the russian Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route issued a permit to Ocean 28 without an ice class to sail in the waters of the Northern Sea Route along the route 'eastern border of the Northern Sea Route - Sabetta port - western border of the Northern Sea Route', the permit is valid from October 1 to November 15, 2024. The permit states that the vessel needs to be escorted by icebreakers 'in ice-free water and in light ice conditions'. According to the Northern Sea Route Administration, only one nuclear-powered icebreaker operated in the eastern part of the Northern Sea Route throughout October. · Ocean 28 is just one of many non-ice-class vessels that have been authorized by russia to sail in the remote waters of the Arctic in the fall of 2024. The passage of ships through icy Arctic waters without the appropriate ice class is evidence that russia's efforts to increase and maintain the flow of oil and gas products take precedence over safety considerations in Arctic shipping. · The delivery of the power plant to the sanctioned Arctic LNG-2 project before winter is evidence of the intentions of the sanctioned Novatek to launch a 6.6 million tons per year LNG line at the project in 2025. · The vessel, with two other sanctioned vessels Na Feng Zhi Xing and Hunter Star, is involved in the delivery in October 2024 from China to the port of Utrenny (russia) of large-tonnage power generation modules for the Arctic LNG 2 sanctioned project (the power plant is key to the commissioning of the second stage of the Arctic LNG 2 project for liquefaction of natural gas, in its configuration, the power plant will include 24 Harbin Guanghan CGT30 turbines with a total power generation capacity of about 650 MW). Arctic LNG-2 is the second large-capacity project of the sanctioned company Novatek (majority owner) for natural gas production and liquefied natural gas production on the Gydansky Peninsula, which was sanctioned by USA in November 2023 and by the United Kingdom in February 2024.[sources]
