Lukoil-Bunker tanker to undergo repairs in Murmansk

Vessel is scheduled to be out of service from May 10.

Lukoil-Bunker LLC reports that its tanker vessel Lilaste is due to be out of service to undergo scheduled ship repairs in Murmansk next month.

The 1634-deadweight-tonne (dwt), 101-metre-long bunkering tanker is scheduled to enter dry dock on May 10, with repair work expected to be completed by July.

Built in 1972, the supply vessel is Russia-flagged with a gross tonnage (grt) of 885.

Lukoil-Bunker's branch in Murmansk is responsible for coordinating the fuel deliveries of the Lilaste. The 3235-dwt, 1989-built bunkering tanker Desna also supplies marine fuel for Lukoil-Bunker at the port of Murmansk.

Lukoil-Bunker specializes primarily in the supply of marine fuel in Russia, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
