Crude Oil export takes place through two Single Buoy Moorings (SBM’s) located around five kilometers offshore from the small boat harbour. The CPC terminal commenced operations in 2001 since when it has exported more than 200 million tonnes of crude oil to markets around the world.

Lamnalco will provide a turnkey package of services for the complete operation including a permanent on-site dive team for SBM maintenance as well as comprehensive oil spill response services for the duration of the contract. This will involve the deployment of a modern fleet of 15 vessels including a Multi-purpose Service Vessel (MSV), tugs, line handling boats and boom boats as well as a full IMCA approved dive spread housed on the MSV.

Contract management will be located at the terminal with back office support from Lamnalco Russia’s newly established offices in the town of Novorossiysk. The workforce will comprise of approximately 170 mostly full-time staff ashore and afloat with the majority being sourced from the local area.
