RNG Snabzhenie’s river fleet has completed its 2026 navigation season in the upper reaches of the Lena after almost five months on the water. Over the course of the season, the fleet carried more than 10,000 tonnes of equipment, supplies and food for RNG operations in Yakutia.

The Boets, Vitimets, Morion and Viktoriya-1 vessels made 37 return trips between Ust-Kut’s Osetrovo port and Lensk. Each round trip covered around 2,000 kilometres.

Dear colleagues, partners, friends!

Happy National Unity Day!

May you and your family be happy, healthy, and well!

RNG has helped the village of Arylakh, the administrative centre of the Chuoninsky nasleg in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), improve its flood defences along the Malaya Botuobiya River.

Georgy Yakovlev, head of the nasleg, approached the Company for help after Arylakh was hit by severe flooding this spring. The Malaya Botuobiya burst its banks, flooding homes and yards and forcing dozens of residents to evacuate.

RNG Group and the Lensk District administration in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) have launched a five-year partnership.

It will support the district’s long-term development and cover a wide range of areas, from social and environmental initiatives to culture, education, sport, healthcare and agriculture.

Several projects are already lined up for 2026 and 2027. One of them is a new Lensk District welcome sign on the border with neighbouring Mirninsky District.

The Company has funded improvements to the main entrance at Secondary General School No. 9 named after R.V. Lonkunov, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The work included a complete overhaul of the steps and new non-slip surfacing.

The Company made transport available to deliver building materials for repairs to the home of a veteran in the village of Syuldyukar, Mirninsky District, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The request came from the Mirninsky District administration; they contacted the Company when the materials needed to be moved from Mirny to the village.

RNG has worked closely with the local authorities for many years. The partnership includes ongoing support for residents across the district in a wide range of areas.

Students and staff at the Ust-Kut Institute of Water Transport now have access to upgraded facilities after RNG Snabzhenie funded a major refresh of the Institute’s service complex.

Much of the equipment there had become outdated and was due for replacement. Following a request from the Institute, RNG Snabzhenie funded new kitchen equipment, dining-room furniture and appliances used for day-to-day maintenance.

A new helipad has opened in Svetly, with RNG helping get the site ready for use. The Company supplied crushed stone and sent in equipment at the request of the local authorities.

The new helipad is now up and running. The first helicopter touched down on 16 September, carrying Aisen Nikolaev, Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). He travelled to Svetly for the commissioning of the fourth generating unit at the Svetlinskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant, which supplies power to local communities and mining operations across the region.

RNG is contributing more than RUB 3.5 million to The Red Horseman, a new production being developed with the Trust Fund for Future Generations of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The Red Horseman will premiere at the D.K. Sivtsev-Suorun Omolloon State Opera and Ballet Theatre in spring 2027.

For first-graders at Secondary General School No. 9 named after R.V. Lonkunov in Tas-Yuryakh, Mirninsky District, the first day this September came with a welcome surprise from the Company.

RNG provided every first-grader with a school backpack, a shoe bag and classroom essentials ahead of the new academic year.
