Rosmorport’s icebreakers escort 11-ship convoy in Sea of Azov
Icebreakers owned by Rosmorport, the Captain Demidov and the Captain Chudinov have escorted a convoy of nine ships from the Sea of Azov to the Black Sea, and 3 ships to the port of Kavkaz, the Azov Ice Operations HQ reports. Meanwhile, Rosmorport’s the Kapitan Moshkin and the Kapitan Krutov cutting a path for a convoy of 15 vessels from the Sea of Azov are 30 nm off the Kerch Strait, as of 20:00 (GMT).
There are 31 ships in the Sea of Azov, 15 of them en route, 12 – awaiting assistance and 2 are stricken ships. At least 93 vessels are in the Black Sea bound to Azov Sea-based ports, only 38 of them with ice-class.
The Rosmorport owned icebreakers were deployed and operate in the area in accordance with the instructions of the Ice Operations Headquarters (IOHQ) led by Harbour Master of the Port of Taganrog. Currently, the IOHQ is busy freeing ice-trapped vessels and escort them to open water in the Kerch Strait. The Azov Sea is "closed" for arrivals, while the Russian ports of the Azov Sea are accessible for incoming vessels. The icebreakers work in pairs clearing a passage for the vessel to then start organizing ship convoys to escort them both to the north-east towards the port of Taganrog, Azov, Rostov-on-Don, Eisk, and from the ports to the Kerch Strait, as well as to assist the ships at the port of Temryuk.
FSUE Rosmorport has now a fleet of four diesel-electric icebreakers in the area operated by its regional Azov and Black Sea branches. In addition, the Port of Taganrog has the icebreaking tug Kama, the same class vessel Kapitan Kharchikov operates at the port of Azov, Port of Rostov-on-Don has the icebreaking tug Phanagoria.

Palmali in agreement with LUKOIL to build a TIB for the Caspian Sea offshore fields
Rostov-on-Don-based LLC Palmali (a member of Palmali Group), has entered into a long-term charter agreement with OAO LUKOIL and commenced construction of a semi-submersible Transport and Installation Barge (TI
, equipped with an onboard mobile jib crane.
The custom-made TIB is intended for operation in the Caspian region, which could be redeployed in other regions. The main dimensions of the vessel, her positioning system, load capacity and minimum draft of the full-laden barge (that satisfy the Volga-Caspian channel dimensions) makes her a unique vessel in the Caspian region.
The TMB of T-shape is designed to transport the heavy-lift topside structures and assist fixing them on offshore platforms, to install platform on its base by ‘floating-over’ method. The barge equipment allow installing platform’s elements weighing up to 13,000 tons, to ram piles of rig base, risers, install the bridges, as well as perform other assembly operations.
Given the deadlines some parts of the TMB will be built and assembled at Besiktas Shipyard (Yalova, Turkey) and at an Astrakhan-based shipyard.
The TIB project was designed at JSC Central Design Bureau ‘Coral’ (Sevastopol, Ukraine) to all the requirements of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, International Conventions, as well as applicable requirements of federal laws and standards of the Russian Federation.
The length of the main pontoon - 140.0 m, breadth of the main pontoon - 30,0 m, outrigger’s length - 40.0 m, breadth - 16.0 m, depth - 7.0 m, overall length of TMB with outriggers - 62.12 m.
Palmali Group is a shipping company operating in the Mediterranean, Caspian and Black Seas. Last year, shipments of oil cargo on Russia’s inland waterways by the Group’s fleet exceeded 4,5m tons. Palmali Group is a major carrier of oil companies SOCAR (Azerbaijan) and LUKOIL (Russia) on the southern lines. The Group has been awarded long-term contracts for transportation of petroleum products with TNK-BP.
The Group operates a fleet of more than 100 vessels, including sea-going tankers of up to 180,000dwt, sea-going and river tankers of up to 8,000dwt tons flying Russian and foreign flags.
