Although Russian shipbuilding media reports Zvezda having over 50 ships in its orderbook and over 20 under construction, the reality is that most projects are years behind schedule and few seem to have stalled completely.

I have been tracking Arctic Metagaz and the other 11 Russian LNG shadow fleet carriers for @gCaptain for 2 years.

Key facts:
👉3rd vessel to load at Arctic LNG 2 on Aug 25 2024.
👉 Traveled to ALNG2 3x in 2024.
👉 Loaded/unloaded at Saam/Koryak FSU 5x.
👉 Unloaded at Beihai 2x.

I know I probably shouldn't reply to tweets like this, but I guess it's again time for a quick review on the Russian military #icebreakers.

This infographic, while slightly out of date, gives a good overall idea of the size and diversity of the Russian #icebreaking assets.

...and I guess we can call out @RoyalWagenborg's ice-strengthened freighter Tiberborg as well even though it'll still be a while until it reaches the #NorthwestPassage. It's actually the first transit for this ship but 44th for the company.

[Kitae Kim_김기태 @jeha911]

@AkerArctic @RoyalWagenborg This ship may have a trouble now. She could not enter the NWP and move until Aug 15. Bad ice condition? Waiting ice breaking service?

[Kitae Kim_김기태 @jeha911]

Nobody knows the year when The TSR is open. Or it may not happen.

[Kitae Kim_김기태 @jeha911]

So good.. super thanks

[Railotech @Railotech]

I guess we can kick off this year's #NorthwestPassage transit tracking thread.

@icenav57 Xue long 2 gets a permission from https://t.co/go2w8TC6Si. Araon gets no permission and no application. However the article reports Araon will go East-siberian sea and Chukchi sea. An impatient Korean would have already applied.

@ChinaScience It serves for PRIC or Local government?

@malte_humpert Hi. This is Kim in Korea. It is very good to see your tweet.

#Gingo

8월 15일 AARI 해빙 챠트로 볼 때 얼음 없는데, 저기서 #Gingo 가 저러고 있는 게 이해가 안되네.
흘수가 18미터인 Gingo라 하더라도 저 지역 문제 없는데...

이상하네.

[Kitae Kim_김기태 @jeha911]

큰 사고가 아니네.

#Baffinbay 에서 #MilneInlet 들어가는 길이 8월초에 저렇게까지 얼어붙어 있다. 기다리는 벌크선 선사들 공치고 있다.

#Royalwagenborg 사의 #Americaborg 와 #Alaskaborg 교차 #NWP 를 교차항해했다.

[Kitae Kim_김기태 @jeha911]

예년이라면 열심히 #Milne_Inlet 에서 #Iron_ore 를 운반해야 할 시기에... ㅠㅠ 아직 얼어붙어서 항로로 들어갈 수 없나보다.
