The Zvezda shipyard delivered to the customer the first gas tanker built in Russia.

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Zvezda Shipyard held a ceremony to hand over the first Russian-built LNG carrier to its customer, PAO Sovcomflot. The ARC 7 icebreaking tanker, "Alexey Kosygin," is the lead vessel in the series being built by Zvezda Shipyard for the Arctic LNG 2 project. The vessel is named after Alexey Kosygin, a prominent Soviet politician and statesman, twice Hero of Socialist Labor. Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the naming ceremony.

The Zvezda Shipyard is a pioneer in the construction of technologically sophisticated civilian vessels. The facility, located in the town of Bolshoy Kamen in Primorsky Krai, is being established at the request of the President of Russia, with Rosneft serving as the project operator. The construction of LNG carriers at the Zvezda Shipyard not only strengthens the country's shipbuilding capacity but also makes a significant contribution to the strategic goals of import substitution, ensuring Russia's technological independence in the development of critical Arctic infrastructure.

The production of such gas carriers requires a large amount of research and development work, the use of innovative technologies and unique equipment, and the involvement of highly qualified personnel.

The LNG carriers in this series boast a high ice class and are capable of operating in Arctic conditions, independently breaking through ice thicker than two meters. Each tanker holds over 172,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas and is equipped with unique rudder-propeller units, also manufactured at the Zvezda Shipyard by the Sapphire plant. The vessel is 300 meters long, 48.8 meters wide, and has a deadweight of 81,000 tons. Its propulsion system has a capacity of 60 MW.

The Alexey Kosygin was built and launched using a dry dock—a unique hydraulic structure, one of the largest in the world. Its dimensions are 485 x 114 x 14 meters. The dry dock's technical parameters, for the first time in Russia, allow for the construction of most existing and future vessel types with a displacement of up to 350,000 tons.

The tanker successfully completed sea trials. Specialists from Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex conducted gas tests on a vessel for the first time in the Far East.

Zvezda Shipyard is Russia's first large-tonnage shipyard, specializing in the production of ice-class vessels, vessels with a displacement of up to 350,000 tons, specialty vessels, and other types of marine equipment. The shipyard's order book includes approximately 60 vessels.

From 2020 to 2025, the shipyard has already delivered seven vessels to customers, including Aframax oil tankers with a deadweight of 114,000 tons.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei called on the United States to immediately end its anti-drug campaign against Venezuela at the Security Council on Tuesday.

The United States continues to build up its military presence off the coast of Venezuela, increasing sanctions, blockades and military threats against the country, sinking Venezuelan ships, killing their crews and seizing oil tankers, he said.

Washington has designated the Venezuelan government as a foreign terrorist organization, declared Venezuela's land, oil, and assets to be US property, and even threatened military strikes against Venezuelan territory, Sun Lei noted. US actions and rhetoric have led to ongoing tensions in the region, causing serious concern among countries in the region and the international community, the diplomat emphasized.

He said more and more countries in the region and beyond are expressing serious concern about US actions and strongly condemning them.

Venezuela, as an independent sovereign state, has the right to independently develop mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries and protect its legitimate rights and interests, which should enjoy the respect and support of the international community, the deputy permanent representative stated.

China opposes unilateralism and bullying, supports states in defending their sovereignty and dignity, and rejects violations of the UN Charter, the threat or use of force, external interference in Venezuela's internal affairs, as well as illegal unilateral sanctions or long-arm jurisdiction, Sun Lei noted.

China urges the United States to listen to the voice of the international community, stop the aforementioned actions, protect the safety of navigation and legitimate rights in accordance with international law, lift illegal unilateral sanctions, and contribute to peace, stability and development in Latin American and Caribbean countries, the diplomat said.

Latin America and the Caribbean are an integral part of the Global South and a vital force for peace and development. China is ready to work with countries in the region to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, uphold justice, and maintain regional peace and stability, Sun Lei emphasized.

Japanese citizens protest Sanae Takaichi's inaccurate statements about Taiwan.

TOKYO, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — Japanese citizens rallied Tuesday evening in front of the Prime Minister's Office in Tokyo, demanding that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi retract her erroneous remarks about Taiwan and criticizing comments made by a senior government official who advocates nuclear weapons.

At the rally, protesters chanted slogans such as "Obey the Constitution!" and "Don't start a war!" Social Democratic Party of Japan leader Mizuho Fukushima delivered a speech criticizing the government's security policy. She said that public statements by the official in charge of security policy in the Prime Minister's Office, who advocated for nuclear weapons, undermined three long-standing non-nuclear principles of Japan.

M. Fukushima described Sanae Takaichi's cabinet as "preparing for war," noting that Japan's defense budget continues to grow and its dynamics are increasingly reminiscent of Japan before World War II.

M. Fukushima also strongly demanded that S. Takaichi retract her erroneous statements regarding Taiwan, emphasizing that such statements clearly violate Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan.

Koichi Nakano, a professor of international politics at Tokyo's Sophia University, told Xinhua that many people have a very limited understanding of the seriousness of Sanae Takaichi's statements on Taiwan. He attributed this to the long-standing lack of systematic and comprehensive historical education in Japan. He argued that Japan's postwar constitution and the fundamental principles of Japan's role in the international community must always be based on the principle of "never repeating the mistakes of history."

Protest participant Chieko Okada noted that the government is attempting to downplay or even conceal Japan's historical role as the culprit of the war. She is most concerned that some citizens support the government's security policies without a true understanding of history. The Prime Minister "should recant his dangerous and misguided statements," she emphasized.

BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Peng Qing'en on Wednesday criticized the Lai Qingde-led Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration in Taiwan for selling off Taiwan's competitive industries.

He made this statement at a press conference, commenting on the participation of the DPP administration in the first “Pax Silica summit” organized by the United States of America.

According to him, China is firmly opposed to the US providing a platform for Taiwanese separatists to speak out. The DPP administration, seeking "Taiwan independence," is deliberately fueling ideological confrontation, which is not supported by the people.

The so-called "democratic supply chain," according to Peng Qing'en, contradicts the laws of economics and the market, and also reflects the DPP administration's completely unscrupulous actions in favor of external forces.

Furthermore, Peng Qing'en noted that the DPP administration is selling off competitive Taiwanese industries and sacrificing the island's development prospects in exchange for external support for its quest for "Taiwan independence," which will only increase tensions in the Taiwan Strait, increase the burden on the island's residents, and undermine its economic foundations and development prospects, he emphasized. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China's public security authorities have offered a reward for information on two Taiwanese suspects of smuggling frozen food to the mainland, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Peng Qing'en said at a regular press briefing on Wednesday.

The two suspects, surnamed Jian and Chen, had been involved in long-term smuggling operations using the Togo-registered Hong Tai 58 and other vessels, Peng Qing'en said, citing an announcement released Wednesday by the Weihai City Public Security Bureau in east China's Shandong Province.

Commenting on the February incident involving damage to an underwater cable off the coast of the island, a department spokesman called the Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration's claim that mainland China intentionally sabotaged the cable using the Hong Tai 58 "speculation."

The DPP is deliberately exploiting so-called "gray zone forays" by mainland China in an attempt to provoke a confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Peng Qing'en pointed out. He sternly warned the DPP that patronizing and condoning the criminal activities of smugglers, as well as using them for political manipulation, undermines cross-strait relations and will provoke a joint protest from compatriots on both sides of the Strait. Then the DPP administration will have to reap what it has sown. -0-
