Notes for editors:
The partnership of Rosneft and Transportation Ministry has a long-term history. Through allied efforts the partners have increased oil transshipment volumes handled by the country’s ports, contributed to the development of port infrastructure, and secured high-quality aviation fuel to civil aviation of Russia by fine-tuning technology for jet fuel preparation and selling it via Rosneft’s refineries on direct purchasing terms. The achievements also encompass better security measures for oil shipment by sea, with emphasis on environmental safety first, along with improved efficiency and safety of icebreaking support for raw materials being moved from Russia’s Arctic regions. |
