Russian multinational energy corporation Gazprom said that the keel-laying for the country\u2019s first passenger ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) was held at the Zelenodolsk shipyard.<\/p>\n
A Gazprom delegation headed by Vyacheslav Mikhalenko, Member of the Management Committee, Head of Department, took part in the keel-laying ceremony for Chaika LNG, the first passenger ship in Russia to be powered by LNG, said a press release.<\/p>\n
The event was held at the shipyard of Zelenodolsk Plant named after A.M. Gorky in Zelenodolsk, Republic of Tatarstan.<\/p>\n
The Chaika LNG leisure and sightseeing boat (motor ship) is intended for passenger voyages, including via tourist routes. The vessel, which can accommodate at least 170 people, is expected to be launched as early as this year.<\/p>\n
The Republic of Tatarstan is a unique location from a logistics standpoint, and it has robust transport potential in terms of cutting-edge industrial technologies. It is planned that the region will produce LNG-powered tourist ships and Gazprom will be responsible for refueling said ships.<\/p>\n
The production and marketing of natural gas (methane) as a vehicle fuel is a strategic activity of Gazprom. A special-purpose company, Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo, was established for ensuring the continuous development of the NGV market.<\/p>\n
Zelenodolsk Plant named after A.M. Gorky is one of Russia’s largest shipbuilding companies. The Plant has produced more than 1,500 maritime and river vessels.<\/p>\n
Gazprom and Zelenodolsk Plant named after A.M. Gorky signed the Action Plan for the pilot project to build LNG-powered river vessels in October 2019.<\/p>\n
