A home port established in Libreville at the stern of a ship belonging to the Russian shipping company Sovcomflot… As a result of the sanctions imposed on Russia, many ships have been transferred under the flags of unscrupulous countries. THE SCF Amur is part of. It has just passed through the Strait and is expected at Vysotsk, a Russian port located in the far north-east of the Baltic on 1is avril.

Double-hulled ship of 47,100 tonnes deadweight, it is equipped with 14 tanks for a total volume of 54,198 m3. Built like the SCF Neva, SCF Pechora et SCF Yenisei by the South Korean shipyard STX Shipbuilding in Changwo, it entered service on December 13, 2007.

183 meters long and 32.30 meters wide, it is powered by a 6-cylinder MAN-B&W-STX 2-stroke Diesel with 13,560 kW (18,450 hp) driving a 4-blade propeller. Its normal speed is 14.5 knots (27 km/h). Despite its Gabonese flag, it is manned by a crew composed entirely of 20 Russians. This solution of placing fleets under third party flags allows ships to make stopovers in ports boycotting all trade with the country in question.
