The fleet includes 23 tugs, 8 dry cargo ships, 4 tankers and 34 barges. The river transporters will deliver food, technical equipment, construction materials and fuel to remote villages. The fleet cargo totals to 42 thousand tons including 6.8 thousand tons of oil cargoes. Besides, 1800 tons of oil cargoes shall be transported from departure point Slavyanka of Kuyumbinskoe field to Vanavara village.
The cargo delivery expedition to Podkamennaya Tunguska river requires from the masters and crews enormous responsibility and highly professional approach to the conditions prevailing during the short spring navigation season. This year navigation started a week before usual. This is attributed to early drifting of ice.
It is supposed that the Yenisei River Shipping Company will transport approximately 76 thousand tons in total during the 2018 navigation season as the Northern Delivery.
