Zvezda shipyard signs
contract with SHI on Arctic
LNG carrier designs
e Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has signed the contract for the design of gas-carriers for Arctic LNG 2 project during the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
According to the signed document, SHI will become technology partner of the project and hand over the technical speci cations and the design documentation of the project to Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex. e Korean company will also provide assistance in developing working design documentation to Lazurit central design bureau.
e Arctic LNG carriers to be built by Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex will meet all the requirements of the Russian Federation regulations which allow determining ships as Russian.
In 2018, Novatek con rmed a reservation of Zvezda production capacities for the
whole set of gas carriers for the Arctic LNG 2 project. In April 2019, Zvezda and Sovcom ot signed the contract for the construction of a
pilot gas carrier for the Arctic LNG 2 project. For the rst time in history, the
construction of the vessel of this type will be carried out by a Russian shipyard. It should be noted that the USSR had not manufactured such vessels and had been purchasing them abroad for many years.
e vessel’s design allows it to individually pull through the ice of up to 2.1 metres thick. e capacity of the gas carrier’s power station is 45 MW which is comparable to the capacity of a nuclear icebreaker.
ese Arctic LNG carriers feature increased environmental safety; in particular, they use LNG as their primary fuel.
