The operator of the project is OOO LUKOIL-Trans, a subsidiary of PJSC LUKOIL. The project includes the development of the Timan-Pechersky and other neighboring oil fields, as well as the operation of an export terminal located near the village of Varandey in the Barents Sea. Large-scale oil shipment from the terminal began in June 2008. The first shipment of oil was transported by Sovcomflot's Arctic shuttle tanker Vasily Dinkov . Today, three SCF Arctic shuttle tankers: Vasily Dinkov, Timofey Guzhenko and Captain Gotsky are solving the complex task of year-round transportation of oil from Varandey to the Kola Bay . Vessels with a deadweight of 70 thousand tons each were built by the South Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries by order of Sovcomflot.
