What Crew Members Say About Eduard-Toll

In light of recent UK Government directives, Northern Ireland ports have been instructed to deny entry to all Russian vessels. Foyle Port, located on the outskirts of Derry, is steadfast in its commitment to comply with the regulations set forth by the Department for Transport, aiming to uphold sanctions against ships that are either owned or operated by Russian interests. Meanwhile, the future of the Russian tanker 'Eduard Toll' remains in limbo as it sits docked at Harland & Wolff's shipyard in Belfast since February 7, 2022, where it is currently undergoing maintenance.

PAO NOVATEK has announced a significant achievement, successfully transporting its inaugural liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes from the Yamal LNG project directly to China utilizing the Northern Sea Route. This landmark event featured an official ceremony attended by Alexander Novak, Russia's Minister of Energy, and Nur Bekri, the Director of the National Energy Administration of China. The ceremony celebrated the safe arrival of two Arc7 LNG tankers, 'Vladimir Rusanov' and 'Eduard Toll,' at the Chinese port of Jiangsu Rudong. Notably, the journey from Sabetta Port through the Northern Sea Route was completed in an impressive 19 days—a striking contrast to the conventional route that typically takes around 35 days via the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca.

PAO NOVATEK has announced that its two Arc7 ice-class LNG carriers, 'Vladimir Rusanov' and 'Eduard Toll,' have triumphantly completed their passage of the Northern Sea Route heading eastward. The 'Vladimir Rusanov' has successfully navigated through this challenging route and reached the Bering Strait, while the 'Eduard Toll' has now entered the open waters of the Chukchi Sea. Both vessels departed from the port of Sabetta, fully loaded with liquefied natural gas generated by the Yamal LNG project, and are en route to the Jiangsu Rudong port in China. Impressively, these vessels traversed the ice-covered segment of their route in just 9 days without requiring any ice-breaking assistance, showcasing the exceptional ice navigation capabilities of the Arc7 ice-class ships.
