The President of the Russian Federation launched the first production line for the Arctic LNG — 2 plant along the Northern Sea Route

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Governor Andrey Chibis took part in the ceremony of sending the first TSSKMS platform to the Gydan Peninsula.

The Head of State has launched the first production line of the Arctic LNG-2 project in the Kola Arctic. Before the ceremony, the President briefly talked with the workers. 

The center for the construction of large-tonnage offshore structures has no analogues in the world. On its basis, world-class technologies for the production of liquefied natural gas are being localized in Russia.


"This is the embodiment of the strength and power of our engineering science, the experience and skills of the workers of the Center for the Construction of large–tonnage offshore structures," Governor Andrey Chibis noted in his social networks.

Shop 107, where the LNG plant is directly assembled, is the largest production shop in Russia. The height of the shop 107 – 93 meters makes it the tallest building in the Arctic Circle. The workshop consists of 5 spans that close the gates 70 meters in height. In the production workshops, unique lifting crane equipment is used, so in shop 104 for the assembly of module frames, the length of the crane beam is 90 m, it is used only at the NOVATEK-Murmansk plant.
