Delivered to LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft on time and within budget, Yuri Korchagin became the first ice-class Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessel to be completed and deployed in the Caspian region.

The FSO is able to withstand ice conditions of minus 20 degrees Celsius and cut through ice as thick as 0.6 metres. The FSO is meant for uninterrupted services in receiving crude oil from a fixed ice-resistant platoform (IFP-1) through single buoy mooring system, storage of oil onboard and finally offloading of oil to shuttle tankers.

The hull of FSO Yuri Korchagin was built in two longitudinal halves by Keppel Singmarine in Singapore. These were then towed some 11,000 km and through the narrow Volga-Don river canal to Caspian Shipyard Company in Azerbaijan where the vessel was assembled and completed. The vessel's successful completion attests to our ability to manage and execute massive projects seamlessly across various locations in world.
