Russia is constantly dismissed and described as a nation that makes nothing and is a gas tank for the West. In part this is the typical ignorance of the West's Child Leaders and in part a defensive tactic of denying reality so as not to face it.
This year, Russia has entered the world market of oil super tanker manufacturers with the commissioning of the the Vladimir Monomah, Aframaks class oil super tanker from the Zvezda shipyards in Vladivastok.
The ship was completed, tested and handed over to Rosneftflot, a subsidiary of Rosneft. This is the first time an oil super tanker was built in Russia, which had no prior history of building, let alone designing from scratch, such a class of ships. Construction was started on 11 Sept 2018.
Zevda has 12 more tankers on order, 10 belonging to Rosneft and 2 to other customers. The tankers are designed to be ecologically safe, "green" tankers and are able to work off of LNG fuels. The tanker is 250m in length, 44m in width and moves at an average speed of 14.6 knots. Additionally, the tanker can operate in ice laden waters, something most other super tankers are incapable of doing.
For the crew, it hosts a sauna, a pool, fitness center, high speed satellite based internet and each crew member has his own comfortable room.
