Further coverage of recent #ArcticLNG2 / #LNG 'shadow fleet' news: "No buyers? The 'Pioneer' #LNG carrier, suspected of transporting #LNG from #ArcticLNG2, has arrived at the shores of Kamchatka [it has since left Kamchatka and is returning south]. Meanwhile, the lead vessel in a series of Arc 7 ice class #LNG carriers being built at the #Zvezda Shipyard for #ArcticLNG2, the 'Aleksey Kosygin', has begun sea trials." According to ship tracking services: - On December 16, 2024 'Pioneer' arrived at the port of Kozmino in Primorskiy Territory; - On December 22 the vessel passed through La Perouse Strait, and on December 24, approached the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula; - On December 25 the #LNGC entered Avacha Bay, and on December 26 it entered Bechevinskaya Bay in the northern part of the Avacha bay. Bechevinskaya Bay is home to the floating #LNG storage unit 'Koryak' (#FSU), which arrived there in July 2023. The actual position of the 'Koryak' #FSU itself was last recorded in ship tracking services more than 6 months ago. The 'Pioneer' loaded the first cargo from #ALNG2 Train 1 / #GBS1 this past summer. As for the #Zvezda / #SHI-built Arc 7 #LNG carriers, the first of these will be delivered in early 2025, and this time (after many delays) "the deadline will probably be met". The lead ship in the series of Arc 7 #LNGCs being built at #Zvezda for #ALNG2, the 'Aleksey Kosygin', has begun sea trials, which will last until December 30th 2024. In addition, the seven Arc 7 #LNGCs being built at #Zvezda, including three almost completed ('Aleksey Kosygin', 'Pyotr Stolypin' and 'Sergey Witte') and four under construction with hull numbers 044 ('Viktor Chernomyrdin') 045 ('Konstantin Posyet'), 046, 047 (names not yet announced), are already under US #sanctions. [It has been reported that the 'Sergey Witte' was somewhat 'cannibalized', i.e. parts removed in order to complete other carriers.] https://lnkd.in/gFPh9grk

The Knock Nevis is indeed an iconic vessel in maritime history, showcasing the incredible feats of engineering achieved in the industry. Its massive size and capacity are a testament to human ingenuity and the ability to push boundaries in shipbuilding. From a technical standpoint, the Knock Nevis's draft of 81 feet when fully loaded highlights the importance of considering navigational limitations in ship design. Its inability to navigate the English Channel underscores the need for careful planning and consideration of operational constraints in maritime logistics. The Knock Nevis's legacy extends beyond its impressive size, serving as a reminder of the importance of innovation and adaptability in the maritime industry. As we continue to evolve and improve our maritime capabilities, it's essential to draw lessons from the past and apply them to future endeavors. I'd love to hear from others in the maritime community: what do you think are the most significant takeaways from the Knock Nevis's story, and how can we apply those lessons to drive innovation and progress in the industry?

The Knock Nevis, previously known as the Jahre Viking, holds the record as the largest supertanker ever built. Constructed in 1979 by Japan’s Sumitomo Heavy Industries, this massive vessel was designed for transporting crude oil. It measured a staggering 1,504 feet (458 meters) in length, with a capacity of over 564,000 metric tons. The Knock Nevis had a draft of 81 feet (24.7 meters) when fully loaded, making it too deep to navigate the English Channel. This colossal ship operated until 2010 when it was sold for scrap. Its impressive size and capacity remain legendary in the history of maritime engineering. #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #PassionForTheSea

𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞? Have you ever noticed ships commonly have abbreviations such as MT, MV, or SS before their names? These ship prefixes generally refer to abbreviations carved before ship names, whether naval or merchant vessels. They consist of a few letters compounded to denote a specific meaning. These initials usually represent the type of vessel or propulsion system used in merchant vessels. Here’s what each of these initials stands for in a merchant vessel: 𝐌𝐓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫. This type of vessel is a tanker propelled by an engine rather than a sail or steam. Nowadays, most tanker ships are fitted with internal combustion engines. 𝐒𝐒 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩. This type of vessel is powered by steam. In the past, all ships were propelled by steam, usually generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil. Today, LNG ships are still propelled by steam but are fitted with steam turbines for propulsion power. The steam is generated by main boilers, which are fed marine fuel. 𝐌𝐕/𝐌𝐒 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥/𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩. This is a general term that can be used to refer to all types of non-tanker or dry cargo ships powered by an internal combustion engine. 𝐍𝐒 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩. Yes, ships can run on nuclear power, such as icebreaker ships. 𝐑𝐕 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥. ‘RV’ stands for Research Vessel. These ships explore the oceans, like underwater detectives! 𝐏𝐒𝐕 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥. ‘PSV’ means Platform Support Vessel. They’re like handy assistants for offshore platforms. 𝐀𝐇𝐓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐮𝐠. ‘AHT’ stands for Anchor Handling Tug. These ships help out with anchors and towing ships! 𝐃𝐒𝐕 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥. ‘DSV’ is a Diving Support Vessel. They’re like underwater superheroes, helping divers explore the deep sea. 𝐒𝐒𝐂𝐕 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢-𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥. 𝐒𝐘 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐭, i.e., a yacht that operates solely with wind power, and MY stands for Motor Yacht, i.e., a yacht with a motor or an engine for propulsion. https://lnkd.in/g2fK-3d2
