You always know
when the internet information about a shipping
company is lacking if this site comes up on the
first or second page, and this is the case with
MSCO, the Murmansk Shipping Company.
The available
information indicates that they have at the very
least one ship, the Vladimir Ignatyuk which is
in origin an icebreaking supply ship built for
Beaudril, and its details are included here.
This ship has been employed in the Antarctic
breaking ice to get support vessels through to
an American base there.
The only other
information I have been about to find out about
the Murmansk Shipping Company is that they have
had a tanker loading point somewhere in the far
North, but this had now been abandoned due to
the installation of another loading facility
further offshore, developed by another shipping
company.
There may be
other offshore vessels in the fleet, but who
knows.
