About Murmansk
Russia's largest Arctic port and a key crude oil export hub on the Barents Sea coast, located on the Kola Peninsula. Murmansk is the only Russian Arctic port that remains ice-free year-round due to the warm North Atlantic Current. The nearby Belokamenka floating storage facility handles ship-to-ship (STS) transfers, loading Urals blend crude onto large tankers (Suezmax and VLCC) from smaller shuttle tankers that bring oil from the Varandey and Prirazlomnaya terminals further east. Since 2022, Murmansk has become a major hub for the "shadow fleet" of tankers transporting Russian crude under sanctions, with extensive STS operations in the fjords around the port. The port also serves as a base for Northern Sea Route operations and Arctic resource development.
