 NSC, Arkhangelsk was founded on
May 16, 1870. Over the more than 140 years of its development, the company really found
its stride during the 1960’s. Since this time NSC, Arkhangelsk has been acknowledged as
one of the major transporters of timber and lumber.
At the present moment the company is continuing its normal operations in the sphere of
international shipping by sea. The NSC fleet consists of unitized dry cargo ships with a
DWT of 2200–14000 tonnes, which carry round timber, lumber, pulp-and-paper products,
general cargo, bulk cargo, dangerous goods and other cargo types. The availability of
ice-classed vessels enables the shipping-line to operate in regions with difficult ice
conditions. NSC regularly scheduled voyages ensure trouble-free delivery of cargo to
Western Europe via the ports of Arkhangelsk and St. Petersburg. The majority of NSC
vessels are equipped for handling 20- and 40-foot containers as well as reefer containers.
All NSC vessels are fully insured. Vessel insuring and carrier’s responsibility are
handled by first-class insurance agencies and associates, well-known throughout the world.
The controlling shareholders and management consider the preservation of the NSC profile
as a strong and growing ship-owning enterprise to be a fundamental aspect of their
strategy, with the goal of consolidating its position in the national and international
sea-shipping market.
