Helping Regions to Implement Measures to Prevent and Minimise the Spread of Coronavirus Infection

In connection with the pandemic, Transneft and Transneft Group subsidiaries provide charitable assistance to healthcare centers throughout the country, purchasing specialised medical equipment, personal protective equipment and disinfectants. These measures increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with COVID-19 and the safety of medical personnel, and limit the spread of the virus.

In 2020, Transneft provided assistance in this area to the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area – Yugra. The Company allocated funds for the purchase of ventilators and personal protective equipment by healthcare centers and clinics of Krasnodar and Krasnoyarsk Territories, the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Komi Republic, Samara, Bryansk, Omsk, Irkutsk and other regions.

Helping Regions Stricken by Natural Disasters and Emergencies

Transneft Group vigorously helps respond to emergencies caused by natural disasters and man-caused accidents in Russia’s regions. Specialists of Transneft Siberia, JSC took part in the response and recovery works after the petroleum products spill at the Norilsk CHPP-3 in Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets Municipal District of Krasnoyarsk Territory.

In June, seven teams of Transneft Siberia, JSC worked in the area of emergency recovery. The spilled diesel fuel was collected from the surface of the Ambarnaya River, its channels and oxbow lakes, using oil skimmers and containment booms. A total of 9,288 m³ of petroleum products were collected from the water surface.

Svyaztransneft provided on-site communications to emergency rescue teams. 63 units of equipment, materials, instruments and measuring tools with the total weight of 550 kg were delivered to the site of works. To provide telephone and facsimile communications, as well as Internet access, a satellite station was deployed.

Thanks to specialised equipment promptly provided by Transneft Upper Volga, an oil spill was contained and subsequently eliminated in a short time frame at the site of a freight train derailment in Vladimir Region. The accident occurred on 16 November 2020 at the Novki-1 – Terekhovitsy stage. In order to prevent fuel oil spills outside the railway protection zone, specialists of Transneft Upper Volga were loading and carrying soil 24/7 to set up a rock-fill dam.
