KIRILL LAVROV

The second of a series of Arctic shuttle tankers of reinforced ice class with a deadweight of 70,000 tons, designed to operate at extremely low temperatures in difficult ice conditions on the Arctic shelves and intended for year-round sea transportation of crude oil from the Prirazlomnoye field.
The tanker is involved in the transportation of crude oil from the Prirazlomnoye offshore oil field in the Pechora Sea (a stationary platform, which is the world's first ice-resistant Arctic-class oil platform), in particular to Murmansk, to the FSO UMBA floating storage tanker (IMO 9196620, under USA sanctions).
The Prirazlomnoye Arctic offshore oil field is being developed by Gazprom Neft Shelf LLC (a 100% subsidiary of Gazprom Neft), which is the center for managing Gazprom Neft's offshore projects.
On January 10, 2025, USA imposed sanctions on the vessel.
