The South Korean shipyard Daewoo will by year 2015 or 2016 deliver four tankers for the Shtokman project, Gazprom’s deputy chief Aleksandr Ananenkov announced in a meeting last week.

The vessels will have a joint cost of two billion USD, Anenenkov said,
the Moscow Times reports. In addition, Gazprom also plans to order two
supply ships for a combined two billion rubles, the company deputy
confirmed.

Meanwhile, Gazprom confirms that the Shtokman project will face delays.
As reported recently by BarentsObserver, Russian First Deputy Prime
Minister and Head of Gazprom’s Board of Directors Viktor Zubkov in a
meeting late December said that the Shtokman project start-up will be
delayed. He did however not specify any new time for the project launch.

The news from Mr. Anenenkov was announced during Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin’s visit to the Russian Far East last week. The
government leader then announced plans for major investments in
regional shipyards and infrastructure. Among the projects announced
were two major infrastructure projects by the state-run United
Shipbuilding Corporation together with foreign partners. Combined
investments in the projects will be 700 million USD, Putin said, a
meeting transcript reads.

According to the new deals, the Korean Daewoo will be responsible for
the construction of a dry dock at the territory of the Zvezda shipyard.
The new dock will enable the yard to construct tankers and LNG carriers.
