New Russian Tanker, Powered by LNG, Loaded with Oil for China, Sails Across Arctic Route Free of Ice
The 250 meter long «Korolev Prospect» on the 28th August set out from Murmansk fully loaded with oil. The course was east-bound and seven days later it reached the Cape Dezhnev in the Bering Strait.
The tanker is expected to arrive in a Chinese port by 14th September.
It is the first time that a LNG-powered tanker makes it transit across the Northern Sea Route, Sovcomflot informs.
