Watch: Arctic tankers break their way through thick ice in sea between Russia and China
The experimental round trip of Russian shipowner Sovcomflot’s LNG tanker ‘Christophe de Margerie’ was made in the dark winter of the Arctic.
A gas tanker & icebreaker made it from China to Yamal in the 1st transit of the Northern Sea Route in February, "confirming that year-round safe navigation is possible," Russia says. There's no multi-year ice left there. @BarentsNews https://t.co/57fCekHYZL pic.twitter.com/PgO45fjN9V
