the plymouth plaza is an automobile which was produced by plymouth from 1954 through the 1958 model year.the plaza was plymouth's entry-level car during those years and was priced under the plymouth savoy.it was offered in sedan, coupe and wagon variants.known as plymouth's 'price leader', in 1958 the plaza offered buyers the widest choice of options to date.options formerly reserved only for higher priced lines were available on the plaza for the first time in history.the business coupe, which was the least produced model of plymouth in 1958 (1,472 units), differed from the regular 2dr club sedan in that the rear seat was an optional accessory.plymouth also added a special edition to the plaza fleet in '58.based on a plaza club sedan, the 'silver special' had a custom paint job with silver paint on the roof and in the sportone inserts plus a short stainless steel spear that accented the front fenders and extended partially into the front doors.the final custom touch was on the rear fins where the silver special bore 'forward look' emblems instead of the traditional 'plaza' scripts.it is isn't known how many of the 94,728 plazas produced in 1958 were fitted with the silver special trim package, but they are believed to be very rare cars.like most models of its kind in the 1950s and 1960s, the plaza—with its minimal trim and plain cloth-and-vinyl upholstery, and limited option choices—saw most of its appeal toward fleet buyers, such as police departments, where luxury and comfort were not primary concerns.however, the model was available to budget-conscious private consumers who wanted or needed the room of a full-sized automobile and the availability of such items as a v-8 engine and automatic transmission.for the 1959 model year, plymouth discontinued the plaza and moved the savoy name down to its entry level model.(1987).the standard catalog of american cars 1946-1975.krause publications.isbn 978-0-87341-096-0. | cribo | roughdress | iridophore | no related information |
auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | auburn washington | leadertitle | mayor | no related information |

(1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over

the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | scillitin | leeful | orts <tsp> scillitin | thioantimonious | quakeress | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | andrewartha | teleseism | emer | no related information |
a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence. | suberect | braconniere | appurtenance | no related information |

the seat ibiza is a supermini car that has been manufactured by spanish car manufacturer seat since 1984.it is seat's best-selling car.the ibiza is named after the spanish island of ibiza and was the second seat model to be named after a spanish location, after the seat málaga.it was introduced at the 1984 paris motor show as the first car developed by seat as an independent company, although it was designed by seat in collaboration with well-known firms including italdesign, karmann, and porsche.from the second-generation version onwards, seat formed part of the german automotive industry concern volkswagen group.all subsequent ibiza generations, and the rest of the seat model range, incorporated volkswagen group platforms, parts, and technologies.the ibiza spans five generations, among which it has debuted twice (in its second and in its fourth generations) a new platform of the volkswagen group.all of them were the top-selling model in seat's product line.the ibiza is now available only in five-door hatchback variants; between 1993 and 2008, saloon, coupé, and estate versions were sold as the seat córdoba.in 2010, an estate version, called ibiza st, was launched.the ibiza's sales success gave the seat marque a platform to build on, as it looked to increase sales in following years.this version, while it established the now classic ibiza shape, was advertised as having 'italian styling and german engines': its bodywork was designed by giorgetto giugiaro's italdesign, and it was prepared for industrialisation by the german manufacturer karmann.it was based on the seat ronda, a small family car, which in turn was based on the fiat ritmo.the gearbox and powertrain were developed in collaboration with porsche, thus named under licence system porsche.despite porsche's direct involvement in the ibiza's engines, it was only after paying a royalty of seven german marks per car sold back to porsche that seat gained the right to put the 'system porsche' inscription on the engine blocks.by the time giugiaro was assigned to the ibiza project, his previous proposal for the second generation of the volkswagen golf had been rejected by volkswagen.so when seat approached him with the proposal for a spacious supermini-class contender, that particular project was reincarnated as the first generation of the seat ibiza.using a compact car as a basis, it was larger than most superminis like the ford fiesta and opel corsa/vauxhall nova, but smaller than small family cars such as the ford escort and opel kadett/vauxhall astra.the luggage capacity started from 320 litres, or 1,200 litres after folding rear seats.it was launched in the united kingdom market in september 1985, along with the málaga saloon.it largely competed with budget offerings like the hyundai pony, and gave budget buyers a more modern alternative to the outdated offerings from lada, škoda, yugo, and fso.after a slow start, sales picked up and reached the 10,000-per-year milestone by the end of the decade.the interior space was good but the styling was fairly unimaginative even though it was known for having a rather quirky interior instrument layout, marked by a lack of control stalks.the indicators were operated by a rocker-switch, and the headlights by a sliding switch.it had three principal trim levels (l, gl, and glx) with body styles of 3 and 5 doors and several versions including base, special, disco, chrono, designer, fashion, and sxi.as power outputs dropped due to more stringent emissions requirements, a 1.7-litre version of the engine was developed for the sportline version.for the same reason, a 109 ps (80 kw) turbocharged version of the 1.5-litre engine was developed for the swiss market and presented in march 1989.in the meantime, seat had already signed a cooperation agreement with volkswagen (1982), and in 1986, the german car maker became seat's major shareholder. | seat ibiza | relatedmeanoftransportation | audi a1 | no related information |

the seat ibiza is a supermini car that has been manufactured by spanish car manufacturer seat since 1984.it is seat's best-selling car.the ibiza is named after the spanish island of ibiza and was the second seat model to be named after a spanish location, after the seat málaga.it was introduced at the 1984 paris motor show as the first car developed by seat as an independent company, although it was designed by seat in collaboration with well-known firms including italdesign, karmann, and porsche.from the second-generation version onwards, seat formed part of the german automotive industry concern volkswagen group.all subsequent ibiza generations, and the rest of the seat model range, incorporated volkswagen group platforms, parts, and technologies.the ibiza spans five generations, among which it has debuted twice (in its second and in its fourth generations) a new platform of the volkswagen group.all of them were the top-selling model in seat's product line.the ibiza is now available only in five-door hatchback variants; between 1993 and 2008, saloon, coupé, and estate versions were sold as the seat córdoba.in 2010, an estate version, called ibiza st, was launched.the ibiza's sales success gave the seat marque a platform to build on, as it looked to increase sales in following years.this version, while it established the now classic ibiza shape, was advertised as having 'italian styling and german engines': its bodywork was designed by giorgetto giugiaro's italdesign, and it was prepared for industrialisation by the german manufacturer karmann.it was based on the seat ronda, a small family car, which in turn was based on the fiat ritmo.the gearbox and powertrain were developed in collaboration with porsche, thus named under licence system porsche.despite porsche's direct involvement in the ibiza's engines, it was only after paying a royalty of seven german marks per car sold back to porsche that seat gained the right to put the 'system porsche' inscription on the engine blocks.by the time giugiaro was assigned to the ibiza project, his previous proposal for the second generation of the volkswagen golf had been rejected by volkswagen.so when seat approached him with the proposal for a spacious supermini-class contender, that particular project was reincarnated as the first generation of the seat ibiza.using a compact car as a basis, it was larger than most superminis like the ford fiesta and opel corsa/vauxhall nova, but smaller than small family cars such as the ford escort and opel kadett/vauxhall astra.the luggage capacity started from 320 litres, or 1,200 litres after folding rear seats.it was launched in the united kingdom market in september 1985, along with the málaga saloon.it largely competed with budget offerings like the hyundai pony, and gave budget buyers a more modern alternative to the outdated offerings from lada, škoda, yugo, and fso.after a slow start, sales picked up and reached the 10,000-per-year milestone by the end of the decade.the interior space was good but the styling was fairly unimaginative even though it was known for having a rather quirky interior instrument layout, marked by a lack of control stalks.the indicators were operated by a rocker-switch, and the headlights by a sliding switch.it had three principal trim levels (l, gl, and glx) with body styles of 3 and 5 doors and several versions including base, special, disco, chrono, designer, fashion, and sxi.as power outputs dropped due to more stringent emissions requirements, a 1.7-litre version of the engine was developed for the sportline version.for the same reason, a 109 ps (80 kw) turbocharged version of the 1.5-litre engine was developed for the swiss market and presented in march 1989.in the meantime, seat had already signed a cooperation agreement with volkswagen (1982), and in 1986, the german car maker became seat's major shareholder. | noncommunists | podostemaceous | cm <tsp> noncommunists | captors | synaptic | no related information |

the saab 900 is a mid-sized automobile which was produced by saab from 1978 until 1998 in two generations; the first from 1978 to 1993, and the second from 1994 to 1998.the first-generation car was based on the saab 99 chassis, though with a longer front end to meet u.s. frontal crash regulations.the 900 was produced in 2- and 4-door sedan, and 3- and 5-door hatchback configurations and, from 1986, as a cabriolet (convertible) model.there were single- and twin-zenith carburettor; fuel injected, and turbocharged engines, including both full pressure turbo (fpt), and, in european models during the early 1990s, low pressure turbos (lpt).it was originally introduced on 12 may 1978, for the 1979 model year.sales commenced in the fall of 1978.like its predecessor the 99, the 900 contained a number of unusual design features that distinguish it from most other cars.first, the b-engine, that was installed 'backwards', with power delivered from the crank at the front of the car.second, the transmission, technically a transaxle, bolted directly to the bottom of the engine to form the oil pan (albeit with separate oil lubrication).thus, power from the crank would be delivered out of the engine at the front, then transferred down and back to the transmission below, via a set of chain-driven primary gears.in similar fashion, mini's also had their gearbox mounted directly below the engine; however, the mini gearbox and engine shared the same oil, whereas the saab 900 (and 99) gearboxes contained a separate sump for engine oil.refined over several decades of two-digit saab models, the 900's double wishbone suspension design provided excellent handling and road feel.the rear suspension comprised a typical beam axle design, stabilized with a panhard rod.however, the attachment points between the axle and chassis made up an unusual configuration that, in essence, consists of two watt's linkages at either end of the axle: a lower control arm attaches the axle to the bottom of the vehicle, while an upper link attaches at the top but faces towards the rear, unlike a typical four-link design with both lower and upper links facing forward.early models did not have sway bars; they began appearing on certain models in 1985, and, in u.s. and possibly other markets, became standard on all trim levels by the late 1980s.the sway bars decreased body roll, but at the expense of some ride comfort and when driven aggressively, increased inside wheel spin.the front and rear bars' diameters were unchanged throughout the model's run.the 900 has a deeply curved windshield, providing the best driver visibility.the dashboard was curved to enable easy reach of all controls, and featured gauges lit up from the front.saab engineers placed all controls and gauges in the dashboard according to their frequency of use and/or importance so that the driver need only divert their gaze from the road for the shortest possible time and by the smallest angle.this is why, for example, the oft-used radio is placed so high in the dashboard.in keeping with the paradigm of its predecessor, the 99 model, the 900 employed a door design unique in automotive manufacturing, with an undercutting sweep to meet the undercarriage, forming a tight, solid unit when the door was closed.this feature also eliminated the stoop in the cabin at the footing of the door, as seen in automobiles of other manufacturers, thereby preventing water and debris from collecting and possibly entering the cabin or initiating corrosion, as well as enabling passengers to enter and exit the cabin without need to step over several inches of ledge.the 900 underwent minor cosmetic design changes for 1987, including restyled front end and bumpers that went from a vertical to a more sloped design. | overseas | unwarn | jockeyship | no related information |

sovcomflot (russian: пао «совкомфлот», пао «современный коммерческий флот», lit.'modern commercial fleet').sovcomflot is russia's largest shipping company, and one of the global leaders in the maritime transportation of hydrocarbons, as well as the servicing and support of offshore exploration and oil & gas production.in 1976 the ministry of merchant marine instituted a special fund and the newly formed corporation used it to acquire two 40,000 dwt, dry cargo transports – sovfracht and sovinflot.in 1988 these operations were reorganized as the sovcomflot joint-stock company (scf), a then one-of-a-kind state-owned corporation with special authorization by the ussr council of ministers.by 1990 its assets reached a gross tonnage carrying capacity of 1,800,000 dwt.a further reorganization in june 1995 confirmed the special status of sovcomflot as a state-owned business.in june 2007 president of russia vladimir putin authorized the merger of sovcomflot and novoship; the state 'invested' its 50.34% share in novoship in sovcomflot capital.the legal procedures were completed in early 2008 and in january 2008 sovcomflot offered a stock buyout to the remaining minority shareholders of novoship.the integration of novoship assets into sovcomflot operations continues as of august 2008 (fleet management and sales were unified in july 2008).in august 2017 the christophe de margerie, a tanker owned by sovcomflot, became the first cargo ship to complete the so-called northern sea route, completing a journey from hammerfest in norway to boryeong in south korea in the record time of 22 days.on march 24, 2022, the united kingdom followed suit.sovcomflot has also been sanctioned by canada and the united states has prohibited sovcomflot from raising funds on american capital markets.the american sanctions made it very difficult for sovcomflot to get insurance for its vessels and cargoes.this has led many asian customers to cancel orders for sokol, one of three main export-grade crude oils sold by russia.on 20 april, new zealand also announced sanctions.on may 5, 2022, lloyds list reported that sovcomflot intended to sell up to a third of its fleet in order to generate cash to pay off creditors.sovcomflot called the report 'exaggerated' and 'rumours', and said it was merely selling off old facilities and vessels.on 10 june 2022 the russian national reinsurance company announced it would reinsure russian ships including sovcomflot's when the russian shipping industry was left high and dry by the 2022 sanctions.it came to light on 13 june that ingosstrakh had insured the sovcomflot fleet.on 23 june 2022 the indian register of shipping announced that it would provide safety certification for several dozen ships managed by dubai-based scf management services, a subsidiary of sovcomflot.the ceo said on 18 june that sovcomflot had insured all its cargo vessels with russian insurers.the fleet includes 50 crude oil tankers, 34 oil products tankers, 14 shuttle tankers, and 10 natural gas carriers.sovcomflot also owns 10 icebreakers.sovcomflot board of directors is usually headed by executives from the presidential administration of russia.in july 2007 igor shuvalov, long-time chairman of the board and an aide to vladimir putin, was replaced by sergey naryshkin, chief of staff of presidential administration.other directors were in 2007: andrey kostin (vneshtorgbank), yury medvedev, alexander misharin, gleb nikitin, charles e. ryan (of deutsche bank), aleksey sokolov, elena titova (morgan stanley), alexander tikhonov, sergey frank (chief executive officer).sergey frank controlled the operations as ceo from october 2004 until at least 2012.the management board also included as of 2012: sergey burima (operations), nicholas fairfax (london operations), andrey khlunev (accounting), nikolay kolesnikov (finance), aleksandr kurtynin (audit), callum ludgate (charter and gas), vladimir mednikov (law), sergey popravko (cyprus operations).as of august 2019, frank was still ceo, while nikolay kolesnikov was cfo and igor tonkovidov was chief operating officer and chief technical officer. | sovcomflot | keyperson | sergey naryshkin | no related information |
