The voyage lasting 40 years
Tomorrow marks 40 years since Novorossiysk Shipping Co was founded. Starting out with the 10,000 dwt ‘Kazbek’ tanker series, built in the 1950’s, the company has operated 48 different types of vessels built at Soviet, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Yugoslavian and South Korean shipyards, with a pool of skilled and experienced seafarers and shore-based staff that at one time amounted to around 23,000 people.
