Aker Arctic Plays with High Stakes at High Latitudes Marine Industry Aker Arctic’s freezable test basin in Vuosaari has been in heavy use. Aker Arctic plays with high stakes at high latitudes The technology company Aker Arctic is a notable international player in northern shipping. In addition to icebreakers and ice-going vessels that are working in Finland, the company also holds an important position in international markets.

Experience from development of this field, where there are still many uncertainties, will have large consequences for the further development program and relations with foreign companies. The exploration activity going on is fairly limited, but over the last few years there has been a struggle over licenses and control over exploration capacity. In the medium term the goal of rapid development of the Arctic continental shelf has become intertwined with a comprehensive government effort to modernise the domestic shipbuilding industry to make it able to cover most of the needs offshore. With the shipbuilding industry in a deep crisis these goals are not fully reconcilable. Russia will either have to accept more foreign involvement, or scale down its offshore ambitions. We believe a combination of the two alternatives is likely.

    Hanna Mäkinen The Russian maritime industry and Finland Electronic Publications of Pan-European Institute 2/2015 ISSN 1795 - 5076 The Russian maritime industry and Finland Hanna Mäkinen 2/2015 Electronic Publications of Pan-European Institute http://www.utu.fi/pei Hanna Mäkinen PEI Electronic Publications 2/2015 www.utu.fi/pei Executive summary 1) Due to historical reasons, the civil shipbuilding industry is weakly developed in Russia and is currently not competitive in commercial sense. The Russian shipyards are in a rapid need of modernisation and the shipbuilding industry suffers from low productivity and technological inferiority compared to other shipbuilding nations. In order to improve the industry’s competitiveness, international cooperation is needed. 2) The Russian maritime industry has recently received increased political attention and funding. Particularly the growing interest in the Arctic hydrocarbon fields and sea routes as well as the continuous importance of energy exports for the Russian economy have boosted the development of the shipbuilding sector. In addition, as Russia has engaged into rearmament, the demands of the Russian navy significantly direct the development of the Russian maritime industry. 3) The current unstable political and economic situation, particularly the ruble’s decline against the euro, the plunge in world oil prices and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, have complicated the implementation of maritime and offshore industry projects in Russia. The sanctions have a negative impact on the Russian shipbuilding and offshore industries as they complicate companies’ possibilities to attract foreign financing and prohibit exports of products and services and technology transfer to Russia if they are related to defence and oil industries.

  • Usc and Atomflot Sign a Contract for Building an Icebreaker for Yamal Lng
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE USC AND ATOMFLOT SIGN A CONTRACT FOR BUILDING AN ICEBREAKER FOR YAMAL LNG Moscow, 30 April 2015. Vyborg Shipyard (part of United Shipbuilding Corporation, or USC) and Atomflot signed a shipbuilding contract for the building of a harbor icebreaker for the Yamal LNG Project. The 10 MW diesel-powered harbor icebreaker with an innovative propulsion system will be built at the Vyborg Shipyard to support the harbor operations of Yamal LNG at the port of Sabetta. Atomflot will act as the shipowner and operator of the vessel, with the expected delivery date in November 2018. In November 2014, Yamal LNG and Atomflot signed a port fleet services contract envisaging tug and icebreaker assistance in Sabetta. The contract is valid through 31 December 2040. The new harbor icebreaker will replace the icebreaker currently used at the port of Sabetta. It will be escorting the LNG tankers through the approach channel and assisting them in the port harbor. The vessel will be capable of effective navigation both bow-ahead and astern modes, maneuvering and performing various specific tasks. Overview Yamal LNG Project Yamal LNG is currently building a 16.5 mtpa natural gas liquefaction plant on the base of the hydrocarbon resources of the South-Tambeyskoye field located in the North-East of the Yamal Peninsula. First LNG production is scheduled for 2017. JSC Yamal LNG shareholders are: NOVATEK (60%), CNPC (20%), and Total (20%). The Project also envisages construction of the transportation facilities, including the Sea Port and the Airport. The international port of Sabetta is a two-phased construction project comprising the early phase and the main phase and developed via a public-private partnership.

The practical problem of this study was to provide the company with the relevant information, which can be applied in the process of supplier research and further collaboration. In compliance with the purpose of the study, the framework of the project consists of several parts, and covers such topics as evaluation criteria for supplier, legislations and taxes applied in the specified industry, best transport mode and Incoterms, and trade practises established in the country, including business habits and contract agreement development. The theoretical part of the thesis contains such topics as sourcing, the process of supplier research, subcontractor relationships establishment, proper suppler criteria and certain aspects of international procurement. The materials used in this section were collected from specialized books and electronic articles. As the purpose and limitations of research did not imply the contact with potential subcontractor suppliers, among the most suitable methods for information gathering was chosen desk research, which involves the analysis of already available materials, including published and unpublished sources in printed and electronic form.
