The 47,000-dwt SCF Yenisei and SCF Pechora (both built 2007) are under charter to Gazprom Neft.

SCF Yenisei is currently loading, while SCF Pechora is being prepared to start cargo operations shortly, the Russian owner said.

Their voyages will include transits along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) and they will also get involved in the export of hydrocarbons from the Yamal Peninsula.
