The vessel is designed to transport and store liquefied natural gas.
Since 2021, it has been owned by the sanctioned russian company PJSC "Gazprom" and was purchased from the Belgian company Exmar Shipmanagement NV.
The tanker is used as a floating gas storage facility as part of the operations of the "Portovaya" LNG Production, Storage, and Loading Complex in the Leningrad Oblast of the russian federation (Portovaya LNG Complex). The operating company of the Portovaya LNG Complex—Gazprom LNG Portovaya LLC (TIN 7728173890, subject to sanctions by the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Ukraine)—is a subsidiary of PJSC Gazprom.
The tanker was integrated into the Portovaya LNG Complex’s technological process, taking into account the challenging ice conditions in the Gulf of Finland. Prior to commencing operations as part of the Complex, the vessel underwent extensive retrofitting, including: hull reinforcement, installation of anti-icing systems, modernization of automated control systems, and installation of state-of-the-art systems for technical and commercial metering and gas quality analysis.
The floating storage loading system is designed to receive LNG from the onshore complex and simultaneously transfer it to other LNG carriers via a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer.
The tanker was moored at the process berth of the "Portovaya" LNG marine terminal on November 27, 2021. According to the design concept for the "Portovaya" LNG terminal, the floating storage vessel should remain moored at the operational berth for a period of 20 years.
