FEDOR USHAKOV

Multifunctional icebreaking vessel for offshore production platforms. The vessel was built by order of the sanctioned Sovcomflot to operate on the continental shelf of Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk as part of the Sakhalin-2 project, one of the world's largest projects for the integrated development of oil and gas fields in the russian Far East in subarctic conditions. The project includes the development of two fields located in the Sea of Okhotsk: Piltun-Astokhskoye and Lunskoye. The produced oil and gas are transported via the Trans-Sakhalin pipeline system through the integrated onshore processing complex to the Primorskoye production complex, which includes a liquefied natural gas plant and an oil shipment terminal. The project is testing technologies for offshore hydrocarbon production and gas liquefaction.
The vessel's design and equipment allow it to provide year-round supplies and stocks to oil platform personnel, carry out emergency rescue duty and respond quickly to emergencies.
On January 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel.
