MainAbout SCFHistoryMajor historical events Major historical events Share In 1988 the all-union commercial foreign trade association “Sovcomflot” was re-formed as a joint-stock commercial enterprise – one of the first in modern Russia. The fleet’s total deadweight at the time was 1.6 million tonnes. It did not have a clearly defined specialisation. The enterprise’s founders were Minmorflot of the USSR and the country’s maritime shipping companies - Dalnevostochnoye, Chernomorskoye, Novorossiyskoye, Latviyskoye, Baltiyskoye, and Sovetskoye Dunayskoye. Thanks to an intelligently designed development strategy, Sovcomflot was gradually transformed from an unremarkable shipping company into one of the global leaders in maritime energy transportation.
