Marine Vessels

The ARC7 ice-class gas carrier, designed to operate in Arctic conditions, exports russian liquefied natural gas from the russian arctic project "Yamal LNG," in particular to the EU and China via the Northern Sea Route.
The tanker is involved in the energy sector of the russian federation's economy, the profits from which are one of the most important sources of income for the aggressor state's budget.
On December 13, 2025, Ukraine imposed sanctions on the tanker.

The ARC7 ice-class gas carrier, designed to operate in Arctic conditions, has been granted permission by the russian state agency, the Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route, which is part of the russian state corporation Rosatom, to sail in the waters of the Northern Sea Route (along the route "western/eastern border of the Northern Sea Route — Port Sabetta — eastern/western border of the Northern Sea Route").
The vessel ensures the export of russian liquefied natural gas from the russian Arctic project "Yamal LNG", in particular to EU countries.

The russian oceanographic research vessel, the lead ship of Project 22010 "Kryus," is nominally designed to study the thickness of the World Ocean and its bottom, belongs to and is operated by JSC Yuzhmorgeologiya, one of the leading scientific and production divisions of JSC Rosgeologia, which has more than 65 years of practical experience in conducting marine and land geological exploration work.
The vessel was built at the Baltic Shipyard (Kaliningrad) by order of the Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research, a secret division of the russian Ministry of Defense.
In fact, the vessel is operated under the supervision of the Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research of the russian Ministry of Defense.
The Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research (military unit No. 45707) plans and carries out special secret missions, including:
- deep-sea research of the seabed,
- reconnaissance of underwater global infrastructure,
- installation of various equipment on the seabed,
- collection and recovery of debris, equipment from sunken sea and air vessels, satellites to obtain information about the level of technological development of potential adversaries,
- study of human physiology in extreme underwater conditions,
- conducting rescue operations.
It is considered that the Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research plans and controls deep sea sabotage and reconnaissance missions in the interests of the russian federation.
The hydrographers of this military unit are engaged not only in reconnaissance activities, but also in planning and preliminary preparation of large-scale sabotage operations on transatlantic fiber-optic communication lines between Europe and North America.
The ship can carry helicopters on board and is equipped with special underwater vehicles that can dive to a depth of about 6,000 meters. It is equipped with information gathering equipment and can carry manned and unmanned deep-sea submarines. The ship is likely capable of intercepting military communications and internet cables and installing explosives that can be detonated in the future.
The ship can be used for reconnaissance and sabotage against the underwater infrastructure of NATO and EU member states, especially in the Baltic, Barents, and North Seas.
The vessel is believed to be part of a flotilla of russian vessels that participated in a 13-month campaign to monitor the underwater infrastructure of NATO and EU member states, which began in the fall of 2023, particularly in the Irish Sea between the UK and Ireland, and along submarine cables between mainland Norway and the Svalbard archipelago, among other locations.
Vessels and ships associated with the Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research are based in Gadzhiyevo, a strategically important location in the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea.
Today, russia maintains a fleet of research vessels that serve civilian, research, and military purposes and are considered a key element of russian naval strategy, especially in the field of deep-sea exploration and sabotage. The russian fleet retains significant experience and specialized capabilities for underwater operations, supported by a special department for deep-sea sabotage and reconnaissance.

The hydrographic vessel is the second vessel of the E35.G project, built at the Balakovsky repair and shipbuilding shipyard (Saratov region) commissioned by FKU "Directorate of the State Customer" for FSUE "Hydrographic Enterprise" (part of the Rosatom State Corporation).

The vessel is equipped with a multibeam echo sounder, which allows it to conduct research at depths of up to 400 meters.
It is stated that the vessel is intended for hydrographic research and other work in the Arctic zone of the russian federation (taking measurements on the Yenisei River, as well as in the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea).
The port of registry is Arkhangelsk.
The ship's displacement is about 260 tons. The ship is 33.5 m long and 8 m wide. The ship can reach speeds of up to 12 knots. The crew consists of 7 people, with 6 special personnel.
