Strategic partners of Murmansk Shipping Company OJSC are companies such as SUEK AG, Mechel Trading AG, Taltek UK Ltd, Sibuglemet Impex Ltd, Mir Trade AG, Kaproben Handels AG, ARCELORMITTAL, Coeclerici Coal and Fuels Spa for coal transportation; companies Eurochem Baltic Logistics, Yara Norge As, Tavitha Translogistics Ltd for the transportation of apatite concentrate; Rusal Trading International Ltd for alumina transportation; oil companies OJSC NK LUKoil, OJSC NK Rosneft, MERCURIA ENERGY TRADING, Unipec Asia Company Ltd, SVL Activ Trading Ltd, Conoco Phillips Company for the supply and transportation of oil and petroleum products, OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel

JSC "Murmansk Shipping Company" is an innovator in many areas of economic and production activity, ahead of others in the implementation of advanced technologies.

This is confirmed by another victory of the company in the international tender of the National Center for Antarctic and Oceanological Research (India) - NATIONAL CENTER FOR ANTARCTIC & OCEAN RESEARCH (NCAOR), (MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA) for the development and construction of the Indian Antarctic station Larsemann Hills.

The state of the global economy has always played a decisive role in the development of the maritime transport market. The main factors influencing freight rates are changes in the tonnage of the world fleet and the level of demand for transportation of various types of cargo by corresponding types of vessels. In 2007–2008, there was an increased demand for transportation, and freight rates were at a high level. Based on the cyclical nature of the development of the shipping market, a recession should have occurred, but the global financial crisis in the fall of 2008 sharply accelerated this process in terms of time and volume. Since the autumn of 2008, freight rates have fallen and throughout 2009 they were at a very low level due to falling prices for raw materials and a decrease in demand for maritime transport services. The trend toward stabilization and some growth in freight rates that emerged in 2010 ended by the end of the year as the number of vessels on the market increased. Throughout 2011, freight rates on the world market gradually decreased compared to the levels reached in mid-2010, mainly due to excess tonnage. At the same time, from the end of 2010 to the beginning of 2011, the rise in prices for marine grade fuels accelerated on the world and Russian markets.

In certain segments of the shipping business, for example, transportation of crude oil by large-capacity tankers, these processes were additionally accompanied by growing political tensions, even armed conflicts, in exporting countries, which further reduced the volume of cargo and the demand for sea transportation services.

The presence of a sufficient number of interchangeable dry cargo vessels, work on transportation less dependent on the volatility of the freight market (in the target segment of cargo in the Baltic and the North, as well as in cabotage) allowed the Company, unlike a number of other companies, to maintain its position in the market. An important advantage is also that the dry cargo vessels of MMP OJSC have a reinforced ice class - this increases their competitiveness when operating in the Baltic and Northern basins in winter.

In 2011, the volume of cargo transported by the shipping company's vessels on completed voyages amounted to 6,128 thousand tons. In addition, the shipping company's vessels transported 411 thousand tons of cargo under time charter from foreign charterers.

Under the state program of Northern Delivery and on a commercial basis, 128.5 thousand tons were delivered to the regions of the Far North, of which 57.1 thousand tons of petroleum products and 34 thousand tons of coal.

Income from all types of activities of the Company for 2011 amounted to 5.24 billion rubles and decreased by 10.5% compared to 2010. Income from the operation of all types of fleet amounted to 5.03 billion rubles, from other types of activities - 0.21 billion rubles.

Logo of the Murmansk Shipping Company (MSC)

MURMANSK SHIPPING COMPANY , (MMP), OJSC since 1993, a leading shipping company providing year-round transport operations on the Northern Sea Route. Includes (2008) the fleet of three Russian shipping companies: OJSC Murmansk Shipping Company, OJSC Northern Shipping Company, OJSC Northern River Shipping Company. Created in accordance with the resolution of the Economic Council under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and the Order of the People's Commissar of the Marine Fleet of the USSR S. S. Dukelsky dated September 22, 1939 “On the organization of the Murmansk State Maritime Dry Cargo and Passenger Shipping Company” (MGMP). The shipping company received a commercial port, a ship repair yard, as well as dry cargo ships “Andre Marty”, “Vishera”, “Vytegra”, “Sura”, “Elton”, “Kama”, “Msta”, “Proletary” from the Baltic and Northern Shipping Companies. “Spartak”, “Unzha”, “Shelon”, cargo and passenger “Herzen”, “Sosnovets”, “Subbotnik”. In 1940, the new shipping company already had 37 ships. The icebreakers “Ermak”, “Lenin”, “I.” were transferred to him. Stalin"; icebreaking steamships "F. Litke", "A. Sibiryakov", "Georgy Sedov", "Dezhnev", "Levanevsky", tanker "Nenets" and other vessels. Murmansk became the base of the Arctic and icebreaker fleets. From here, icebreakers and icebreaking steamers set sail along the Northern Sea Route. The shipping company served the lines Murmansk-Arkhangelsk, Murmansk-Dudinka-Igarka, Murmansk-Spitsbergen. During World War II, most of the shipping company's ships participated in the delivery of weapons and ammunition from the ports of the USA, Canada, England, and Iceland under Lend-Lease. Many of them died under the attacks of German aircraft, submarines and enemy surface ships. By the end of the war, 3 ships remained: “Mossovet”, “Sosnovets”, “Spartak”; only 230 people worked in the shipping company. After the war, the shipping company was replenished with new reinforced ice-class vessels of the Lena type. 06/25/1953 MGMP, Arkhangelsk Arctic Shipping Company and the Murmansk Marine Office of the Main Northern Sea Route were merged into the Murmansk State Arctic Shipping Company (MGMAP). In the 1960s. 3 vessels of the Amguema type entered the ice routes. In 1955–1956, the diesel-electric ship Ob made a voyage to Antarctica, then visited the southern continent 18 more times. 05/05/1960 the world's first nuclear icebreaker "Lenin" arrived in Murmansk. The following year he entered the Northern Sea Route. In 1964, MGMAP was transformed into the Murmansk Department of the Arctic and Icebreaker Fleet of the Northern Shipping Company, which, having separated from the Northern Sea Route on January 1, 1967, received a new name - the Murmansk Shipping Company (MMP). In the 1970s–1980s. The MMP fleet was replenished with icebreakers of the Kapitan Sorokin type, transport ships of the Dmitry Donskoy type, and reinforced ice class ships of the Norilsk type.
Among the most significant events of the modern period of Arctic exploration are the first achievement in the history of navigation by a nuclear-powered icebreaker in active surface navigation of the geographic point of the North Pole (1977, “Arctic”), the organization of year-round navigation in the Western region of the Arctic (since 1978), rescue operations of unprecedented complexity transport fleet in the Eastern region of the Arctic in 1983 and 1994, regular cruise flights of nuclear-powered ships to the North Pole with foreign tourists on board (since 1990).
In 1997, MMP (the first shipping company in Russia) was presented with a document confirming its compliance with the requirements of the International Code for the Management, Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention (ISM Code).
As an OJSC, it owns its own transport vessels (including its own icebreaker “Vladimir Ignatyuk”) and until August 2008 operated an icebreaker fleet that is federally owned and not subject to privatization (10 icebreakers, of which 8 are nuclear). As of 01/01/2006, the total number of own and controlled transport vessels was 47 units with a total deadweight of 1013.6 thousand tons (in 2008, the total number of own vessels for various purposes was 305). Vessels are escorted by 8 nuclear icebreakers (second and third generations). 2 diesel-electric icebreakers. The MMP fleet transports about 40% of cargo under the Russian flag and carries out up to 80% of cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route. Since the 1990s carries out transportation of hydrocarbon raw materials from the fields of the North of Russia, having several tankers.
In 1976 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, in 2005 - the Order of Glory of Russia (the highest Russian award of public recognition). The names of 19 Heroes of the Soviet Union and 6 Heroes of Socialist Labor are inscribed in the history of the shipping company. The MMP has established an annual prize named after V. S. Maslov, a prominent Murmansk writer and public figure (he worked at the MMP for about 40 years). The Museum of the History of MMP has been opened. Has its own newspaper - “Arctic Star” (until 1940 - “Murmansk Port Worker”, then until 1953 - “Sailor of the Arctic”).

JSC "Murmansk Shipping Company" is the only company in Russia and abroad that simultaneously has a dry cargo, tanker, passenger, icebreaker, nuclear and diesel fleet. According to preliminary data, in 2001 the shipping company increased its cargo transportation volumes by 30% compared to the previous year, including 2.5 times more oil transported.

The versatility of the fleet owned by the shipping company allows you to quickly respond to changes in the situation on the freight market and maneuver flexibly in search of a cargo base. In addition, the company has high international prestige, backed by more than 60 years of experience in the Arctic and on international shipping lines. The shipping company can rightfully be called an ice navigation academy, the graduates of which are capable of performing any task in the maritime business. The specificity of working in the extreme conditions of the Arctic seas allows those who have completed this school to quickly find the only correct solution in any other situations, based on the highest professionalism. This can be confirmed by the results of 2001: compared to the previous year, the company managed to make two and a half times more profit.

OJSC Murmansk Shipping Company has close cooperation with OJSC Apatit and OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel. The long-term contract signed by our companies is a good example of cost-effective cooperation. In addition, the shipping company helped organize the work of the Kandalaksha sea trade port and organize a new powerful cargo flow of Kuzbass coal for export. Taking into account the fact that the port and Kandalaksha Bay are frozen, stable year-round work here is ensured by the shipping company's icebreakers.

Cooperation with new and old partners, the search for promising areas of cargo transportation, the conclusion of contracts beneficial for the company and other areas of activity had a very significant impact on the results of the work. The company's cargo transportation volume, for the first time in the last decade, amounted to about six million tons of dry cargo per year.

The shipping company's vessels carry out transit navigation along the Northern Sea Route (Northern Sea Route). But everything is still working out as we would like. The process is so difficult that it is extremely difficult to quickly increase cargo flow. In our opinion, the main reasons for this are the already established established cargo flows through the south, and the lack of large-tonnage vessels that would make year-round transit voyages profitable and more attractive to customers. The Murmansk Shipping Company is ready to organize the construction of such ships, but so far there is no real government support for Arctic shipbuilding. Many have illusions about the rapid increase in cargo flows in transit through the Northern Route. The company plans to increase the volume of cargo flows to 1 million tons in the future. Last year, a special voyage of the ship "Captain Nazaryev" was organized. He delivered cargo to Ireland from China, reducing travel time by 10 days and the distance by three thousand miles. Each such flight, in addition to its commercial significance, provides invaluable material for further research in the field of navigational, technical and economic aspects of sustainable navigation along the Northern Sea Route, because we should not forget that the Murmansk Shipping Company is the only cargo carrier that transits along this Arctic route.

Over the past fifteen years, there has been talk about the prospects for exporting Timan-Pechora oil, but this is just talk. Real steps in this direction were taken by the Murmansk Shipping Company. In one year, Murmansk Shipping Company OJSC, Arkhangelskgeoldobycha OJSC and LUKoil-Arctic-Tanker OJSC, in difficult Arctic conditions, created a unique transport and technological system for year-round oil export from Varandey to Rotterdam. For this purpose, thousands of tons of metal structures and pipes were imported; underwater pipelines were laid along the seabed; a coastal tank farm with a powerful pumping station was installed, and much more. A completely unusual solution was found to modernize the icebreaker "Captain Nikolaev", which stood for more than five years at the berth in the port of Murmansk, bringing nothing but losses, and more and more voices were heard with proposals to send it for scrap metal. The icebreaker was re-equipped, and a unique research and production complex was created on its base, which ensures not only oil reloading, but also measures to prevent its spill. The icebreaker has departments and laboratories, including oil analysis, as well as for underwater technical work and environmental monitoring of the Arctic nature. Conditions have been created for the work of border guards and customs officers.

The Arctic is the Arctic, and specialists often have to deal with unexplored natural processes, including ice processes, which create additional difficulties, and only thanks to the vast experience of our workers, the entire Varandey complex operates all year round. In the future, the company plans to reduce the cost of transporting Arctic oil for export, for which, in the future, it is ready to purchase several tankers with a deadweight of 150 thousand tons or more. Also, the management of the shipping company expects to begin in the near future the construction of gas carriers for transporting liquefied gas, and the export of propane butane in tank containers from Yamal and Taimyr.

Currently, the cost of transporting oil to Rotterdam via Varandey is 2 times cheaper than through the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS). If the volume of cargo flows increases to 5 million tons, the company has a reserve that will reduce the cost of transportation by 3 times. Therefore, the company is not afraid of competition with BTS. Cargo owners will be able to appreciate the benefits of the Arctic transport system.

In addition, in a difficult economic environment, the company maintained its leading position on the Polar Line container line, between the ports of Finland and Germany. The shipping company has concluded a long-term contract with the Norwegian company Norsk-Hydro. Also, the vessels of the Murmansk Shipping Company are engaged in the transportation of kaolin from the USA to Europe, bauxite from Greece to Russia, etc. One of the main activities of the Murmansk Shipping Company is the development of cooperation with the Arktikugol company, associated with the export of coal from Spitsbergen to European ports.

It is impossible not to note the work of the nuclear fleet vessels. The nuclear fleet is not only icebreakers, but also a huge infrastructure, equipped with the most modern equipment, with its highly professional personnel. It includes a group of nuclear technology support vessels, consisting of specialized floating technical bases, a special tanker for transporting liquid radioactive waste, etc. The fleet and coastal units constitute a single transport and technological system created for the reliable organization of cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route .

Today, the Murmansk Shipping Company is actively engaged in solving the problem of disposing of spent nuclear fuel from nuclear submarines. The technology for extracting nuclear fuel from nuclear submarine reactors is similar to nuclear fuel reloading operations that are carried out on the company’s civilian nuclear-powered ships. This has allowed the company to actively cooperate with the Russian Navy for more than one year in solving the most difficult task - unloading, storing and sending spent fuel from nuclear submarine reactors for reprocessing. This year, about 60% of trains with spent nuclear fuel throughout Russia will be sent for reprocessing to the Mayak plant using the infrastructure of the Murmansk Shipping Company.

The Murmansk Shipping Company OJSC operates the only nuclear-powered lighter carrier "Sevmorput" in the world, unique in its technical characteristics. Having a displacement of 61 thousand tons, it takes on board 74 lighters or 1336 20-foot containers with cargo, and at the same time is capable of moving independently in ice up to one meter thick. It has proven itself well in the Arctic and replaces three ice-class transport vessels at once, and the economics of cargo transportation show that there is no alternative to it.

To summarize all that has been said, Appendix No. 5 provides a description of the activities of Murmansk Shipping Company OJSC for 2000, which reflects the company’s activities in the transportation of goods.

		Public corporation Murmansk Shipping Company

Murmansk Shipping Company was founded in 1939 as an enterprise specialized in Arctic transportation. Since 1993, it has been transformed into an open joint-stock company, owning its own transport vessels and operating a unique federally owned icebreaker fleet in the world.

The importance of the Murmansk Shipping Company in the Russian maritime transport system is best demonstrated by numbers and facts. As of December 31, 2005, the total number of owned and controlled transport vessels is 47 units, their total deadweight is 1,013.6 thousand tons. Today, the shipping company's fleet provides about 40% of cargo transportation under the Russian flag. The company plays a key role in the delivery of goods to the Arctic regions of our country, carrying out up to 80% of cargo transportation along the Northern Sea Route in recent years.

Behind these indicators are serious competitive advantages that the shipping company has developed over more than six decades of its activity. This is, first of all, ensuring year-round navigation in the western region of the Arctic, made possible thanks to the successful operation by sailors of the world’s only nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet, which the state entrusted to the Murmansk Shipping Company.

Murmansk has been and remains the gateway to the Arctic, the base port of the Northern Sea Route, where the revival of transportation, including transit, is already taking place. The West is showing special interest in Russian oil supplies from the North. In addition, the transport hub in the north of the country provides Russia with free access to the open ocean. And in this situation, the creation of a sea transport route from the Russian Arctic to Western Europe and America is beneficial to many. This process becomes a reality only if there is a transport and icebreaker fleet specialized for the Arctic, which only the Murmansk Shipping Company has in sufficient quantities today.

The shipping company is systematically updating its transport fleet through the modernization and rejuvenation of existing vessels and the construction of new ones. In 2003-2006, the company at the Cxengxi Shipyard (PRC) implemented a modernization program for six vessels of the Dmitry Pozharsky type. An additional hold was installed on them, due to which the volume of transported cargo increased by 4.5 thousand cubic meters. After the modernization was completed, the seaworthiness and maneuverability of the vessels improved, and their hulls were updated. Bulk carriers have officially received the status of 10-year-old vessels, which is confirmed by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.

To increase the company's competitiveness in the freight market, the Murmansk Shipping Company is building ice-class bulk carriers with a deadweight of 23 thousand tons in China, the first of which, the Grumant, has already been put into operation. The vessels will operate under the Russian flag.

Particular attention is paid to oil transportation. Since the late 90s of the last century, the Murmansk Shipping Company began shipping hydrocarbons from the fields of the North of the Russian Federation - Varandey, Kolguev, Priobsky fields, Yakutia. The company's tankers also transport oil and petroleum products from the ports of the White Sea, Murmansk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, and the Baltic countries.

In 2005, the Murmansk Shipping Company acquired the tanker Natali with a deadweight of 142.5 thousand tons. At the end of July, a unique modernization of the tanker, one of the largest tankers flying the Russian flag, was completed in China. Until today, not a single shipping company in the world has had successful experience in converting a vessel with a deadweight of over 140 thousand tons. As a result of modernization, the cargo capacity of the tanker has been increased, which is 156.848 cubic meters, the vessel complies with the requirements of the International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, the tanker is equipped with a double bottom and double sides.

The tanker "Natalie" was certified for a joint class by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas (Norway). Thus, Natalie meets all international requirements for the operation of tankers. After modernization, the vessel operates to transport oil from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to ports in China and Japan.

The deal to acquire another tanker of this type, Nadezhda, is nearing completion. In addition, the tanker fleet of the Murmansk Shipping Company includes eight tankers with a total deadweight of 132.85 thousand tons, including two Astrakhan-type tankers operating on bareboat charter.

The most promising thing for the company is to expand its participation in the transportation of hydrocarbons to Europe and the USA. To implement these plans, it is planned to build tankers with a deadweight of 47 thousand tons and purchase a Suezmax tanker.

Murmansk Shipping Company is the only shipping company in the world that has been reliably and efficiently operating a nuclear icebreaker fleet for over 45 years. The use of nuclear icebreakers made it possible to make navigation in the western Arctic year-round.

The Murmansk Shipping Company fleet includes 8 nuclear icebreakers. The world's first nuclear icebreaker "Lenin" (propulsion power 32 MW) operated from 1959 to 1989. It was replaced by nuclear-powered ships of the "Arktika" type with a propulsive power of 54 MW, which provide navigation of ships through ice on the sea sections of the Northern Sea Route. These are “Arctic”, “Siberia”, “Russia”, “Soviet Union”, “Yamal”. In shallow areas of freezing seas and estuaries of northern rivers, ice operations are carried out by third-generation nuclear-powered ships “Taimyr” and “Vaigach”.

A unique nuclear-powered icebreaking transport vessel, the lighter carrier “Sevmorput” with a deadweight of 33.9 thousand tons, is designed to deliver various cargo in lighters and containers to the northern regions and is capable of independently breaking ice up to 1 meter thick.

At the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg, the construction of the nuclear icebreaker “50 Let Pobedy” is being completed, which will also be transferred to the trust management of the Murmansk Shipping Company.

The civil nuclear fleet includes 6 nuclear technology service vessels designed for recharging reactors of nuclear-powered ships and storing spent nuclear fuel, collecting and storing liquid and solid radioactive waste.

The MMP icebreaker fleet includes two diesel-electric icebreakers of the same type: “Captain Dranitsyn” and “Captain Nikolaev” with a capacity of 22 thousand horsepower each.

The entire specified icebreaker fleet is federal property. And the company’s property is the modern Arctic icebreaker “Vladimir Ignatyuk”.

Murmansk Shipping Company is successfully implementing a program to extend the life of nuclear steam-generating installations of existing nuclear icebreakers, which can significantly increase the service life of ships beyond design standards.

The shipping company is a participant in international and federal projects related to the implementation of physical protection at nuclear fleet facilities, increasing radiation safety on ships, as well as dismantling nuclear submarines. In accordance with agreements between the governments of the USA, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and Russia, projects have been implemented to modernize the physical protection systems of nuclear materials and installations on the nuclear icebreakers "Sovetsky Soyuz", "Arktika", "Yamal", the nuclear lighter carrier "Sevmorput", floating technical base " Imandra." This year, work will be carried out to modernize the physical protection system of the floating technological base for nuclear maintenance "Imandra". With the participation of the French-English consortium SGN/AEA, preparations for the dismantling of the Lepse floating maintenance base continue.

At the expense of Great Britain, a temporary storage facility for non-reprocessed spent nuclear fuel from nuclear icebreakers is being built on the territory of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Atomflot, as well as the production of metal-concrete containers for its storage. This project is being implemented within the framework of the Global Partnership program, which was adopted in 2002 at the G8 Summit.

The coastal infrastructure of the Murmansk Shipping Company is also widely developed. The most obvious example is two projects to increase export opportunities for Russian oil companies.

Since 2000, the Murmansk Shipping Company has been carrying out year-round transportation of oil from the Timan-Pechora fields from the Varandey terminal using its own and leased tankers. By order of the shipping company, the Arctic Underwater Loading Terminal (ASPT) was designed, manufactured and installed in 2002 directly at sea. The shipping company carries out year-round operation and maintenance of the APPT on its own.

The Arctic subsea loading terminal consists of a single-point PLEM dead-anchor berth, an oil supply pipeline and a valve control station. The structure is equipped with a mooring and loading hose, with the help of which loading is carried out in any weather conditions. The terminal's throughput capacity is more than 4 million tons per year.

When operating the terminal, which has no analogues in the world, unique technologies are used that allow safe offshore loading of oil onto reinforced ice-class tankers in harsh ice conditions. The diesel-electric icebreaker "Captain Nikolaev" provides offshore loading of oil in winter conditions. A unique research and production complex has been created on board to ensure oil spill prevention measures. The icebreaker has specialized units and laboratories, including oil analysis, underwater technical work and environmental monitoring of the Arctic nature.

The second successful project was the creation of an offshore transshipment complex in the area of ​​Cape Mishukovo in the Kola Bay. It is designed for transshipment of oil from tankers with a deadweight of 15,000–60,000 tons to tankers of the Aframax and Suezmax type (deadweight of 100–150 thousand tons).

Navigation safety is one of the main priorities in the activities of the Murmansk Shipping Company.

In 1996, Murmansk Shipping Company was the first in Russia to be certified by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping in accordance with the requirements of the International Code for the Management of Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention.

In 1999, the company received a certificate of compliance with the requirements of the International Quality Standard ISO 9001, confirming the high level of the corporate quality management system.

In 2006, the company was certified by the Russian Register Certification Association in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 14001 (environmental management system). In the same year, Murmansk Shipping Company received a certificate of company compliance with the requirements of the international standard OHSAS 18001 (occupational safety and health management system for personnel).

The basis for a company's prosperity is caring for its employees. When selecting or training crew members, special emphasis is placed on improving the qualifications of specialists. This task is solved on the basis of its own training centers for training and retraining of personnel in Murmansk and the Training Center in St. Petersburg, which provides advanced training for specialists for the nuclear fleet.

Much attention is paid to improving the professional level of personnel, especially young specialists: professional skills competitions are held among them every year, and contracts are concluded with cadets and students for the period of study at the university.

Taking care of the health of the company's employees, the administration guarantees everyone medical care based on compulsory and voluntary health insurance policies.

For many years, the Murmansk Shipping Company has patronized secondary school No. 53 and orphanage No. 5, and also maintains close friendly ties with the sailors of the nuclear submarine division and the aviators of the helicopter regiment of the naval aviation of the Northern Fleet.

Taking into account the cyclical nature of a number of areas of cargo transportation and their seasonal unevenness, the shipping company began to develop non-core activities, which made it possible to more fully use its financial, economic, production and personnel potential and significantly expanded the geography of its activities. Business diversification is the path followed by many companies, including the Murmansk Shipping Company. This approach opens up new prospects and opportunities for the company to participate in socially significant projects for cities, regions and the Northern region as a whole. The company's non-core activities are often connected, directly or indirectly, with the shipping business and largely serve its immediate needs. These are the problems that are being solved today by the Murmanskmorstroy trust, Murmanskinzhselstroy OJSC, Arkhangelsk sawmill and woodworking plant No. 3 and other enterprises.

In 1976, the Murmansk Shipping Company was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. In 2005, the company was awarded the Order of Glory to Russia, the highest Russian award of public recognition. In turn, the Murmansk Shipping Company established an annual Prize named after the sailor, writer and public figure Vitaly Maslov. This is the enterprise’s contribution to the formation and development of the foundations of civil society in the Murmansk region.

Russia's leading Arctic shipping company is firmly maintaining its course, calibrated over the previous decades.

Why is Usmanov forced to bark at Navalny? How do you think?

The funniest question is why Usmanov recorded this abusive video. Did he decide this?? Yes, he would rather pull out two or three teeth without anesthesia than write this down. Shuvalov, Peskov, Shoigu did not “solve” this. Because they know that when you are sitting with a stolen person, you don’t need to attract attention to yourself - extra attention will not help: neither now nor in the future.

And Usmanov, of course, understands this. But groaning and writhing, he sits on the stake. For what?

Yes, for the same reason why Usmanov did not give bribes to Medvedev. Yes, I was not mistaken. Didn't give it. What is happening in Russia is not called bribes, because there are no such bribes that the President of the country and the Prosecutor General's Office are aware of the receipt of, and yet nothing happens. When a gun is pointed at your belly, and you, sweating with fear, hand over your wallet - is that also a bribe??

The director of this performance ordered Usmanov to organize this idiotic market squabble, where Usmanov does not and cannot have any rational arguments. What are the arguments? You understand that he understands that she/they/they understand everything. It’s so poorly staged, they could at least make some kind of fake paper - at least for the aesthetics of the presentation. But in 2 months they didn’t give birth to anything.

So why was it Usmanov who was appointed to the role of the rabid mutt? 1) Because he is an oligarch. 2) Because Chuchmeks are a national minority. These are the only two categories of the population, besides the main gangsters, whom we can still hope to somehow drive away from Navalny, to scare with Navalny.

Navalny is so terrible - how he is now nationalizing stolen billions. How then to live on the last millions? And besides, he is a Russian nationalist. This is how all minorities will tremble now. The Director's idea is weak, the execution will be the same.

Alisher Burkhanovich, let me give you good advice. You see that the Putinoids consider you... mmm.. well, you can see for yourself what they consider you to be. They will drive you between the Putinoid hammer and the bulk-anvil.

Isn't London and Pravda better? The UK will be able to protect its fifth richest man. And the KGB’s poisonous teeth are no longer the same. Even on poor and extremely careless Sasha Litvinenko, they broke off.

Leave and tell, tell EVERYTHING as it is. It will be bold. Show “them” the national minority.

And here there will be nothing interesting anymore. From now on, Putinism will only go underwater. Of course, there is still a lot of money to be made here. However, only a dive: faster or slightly slower, but only down. But money can be made anywhere, and $15 billion - with a modest, economical life - will be enough for you for the rest of your life. When will you die? Think about this moment.
