Dear Friends
Something different, some rare postcards images from two USSR passenger ships originally ordered by Ministerstvo Gazovoj Promeshlennosti - Ministry of the Gas Industry of the USSR (Ministerstvo Morskogo Flota), managed by - SOCAR ( Azerbaydzhan Shipping Company )as passenger ships to be used mainly for workers in sea platforms at Baku Sea Oil Field, also for tourists/passengers that wanted to explore this region.
These ships were somehow unique, because instead of MORFLOT "classic" Red funnel ribbond, had GazProm fleet blue funnel ribbond with under and over lines in red.
What do you think of these ships?
For your guidance please see classification details available on the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping as follows:-
