V.Group has taken its first Russian flagged vessel into full technical management following earlier successful accreditation of the St.Petersburg office from the Russian Register.

The ship management services, which will be delivered by V.Ships oper[ds_preview]ations in Limassol and BGI crewing operations in St. Petersburg, are marking V.Group’s entry into the Russian market.

The vessel »Umba«, owned by RPK Nord, is permanently stationed in Murmansk. Following successful inspection from one oil major that took place immediately after the change of management, she is supporting the oil industry as a storage tanker.

»We are pleased to see V.Ships and BGI expand their services in this part of the world as a ship manager,« said Vasilii Reznichenko of the Russian Register.

V.Group is a leading global marine and offshore vessel management and support services provider, with nearly 3,000 personnel based across more than 70 offices globally, supporting over 40,000 personnel in marine and offshore roles.
