Philip Adkins
CEO, ZPMC-RED BOX Energy Services
Philip Adkins is the Chief Executive Officer of ZPMC-Red Box Energy Services (ZPMC-RED BOX) and
has been a leading force in the Marine Heavy Transport industry since he successfully established
Fairstar Heavy Transport as the leading provider of Module Transportation for Global LNG
Infrastructure Projects. He was extensively involved in both the Chevron EGTL Project in Nigeria as
well as the Gorgon and Ichthys LNG Projects in Australia.
ZPMC-RED BOX is under contract with Yamgaz to supply four Marine Heavy transport vessels,
including two Polar Class Three Module Carriers that provide year round transportation of Modules
and critical supplies to Sabetta Port for the next 5 years.
A graduate of Columbia and Harvard Universities, Mr. Adkins is currently based in Hong Kong where
he is closely following the construction of the PC-3 Module Carriers at the GSI Ship Yard in Longxue,
China.
Alexander V. Andryushin
Head of laboratory “Propulsion complexes of ships”, CNIIMF (Central Marine Research & Design
Institute)
In 1983 Alexander V. Andryushin graduated from the State Marine Technical University in St.
Petersburg. In 1983-1999 he worked at the Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute at the ice test tank.
He specializes in the field of the operational strength of elements of the propulsion systems of ice
ships and icebreakers including the development of methods of the ice loads forecasting (both for
propulsion complex and hull). He performed special mathematic investigations on the development of
methods of the forecasting of extreme probable load values by the statistic (random) sampling of small
volume.
In 1996 Alexander Andryushin defended at the Marine Technical University his first thesis “Elaboration
of rudder-propeller systems of ice ships and icebreakers by the results of experimental investigations”.
Within the framework of the first thesis the methodology of forecasting ice loads upon propellers based
on the results of model tests in the ice tank was developed. In 1999 he started working at the Head
office of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS). During the work at the RS, drafts of new
requirements for the propulsion power of ice ships and for the strength of icebreaker propulsion
systems were prepared. In 2007 he defended his doctoral thesis “Theory of the propeller/ice
interaction. Assurance of the operational strength of elements of the propulsion systems of ice ships
and icebreakers”. Within the bounds of the IACS working group he participated in the development of
the Unified requirements for machinery plants of polar ships. He participated as well in the full-scale
trials of icebreaker of the “Arktika” type, large icebreaking tankers of the “V. Guzhenko” type, modern
icebreaker “Varandey” and other ships. He represented RS in the ARCOP project. Since 2011
Alexander V. Andryushin works at CNIIMF. He participated in the development of a large LNG carrier
for Yamal and large capacity tanker to transport oil from OB Bay. He has got about 50 scientific works.

His foreign countries assignments include the US Navy Atlantic Surface Forces (Norfolk, VA, 1998)
Engineering Community and the Naval Logistics Commission Europe (Bonn/Paris-2006/2007). He
also joined the Argentine delegation to IMO's Polar Code Team (DE/SDC-2011/2014). Sea duty
includes engineering jobs as Electric, IT and Control Engineering Officer and Chief of Engineering
aboard various combat ships as well as Icebreaker A.R.A. “Almirante Irizar”.
Regarding shore duties, his jobs have been related to engineering, logistics and project management.
In 2010 Capt Burden joined Argentine Ministry of Defence Logistics Agency, and is now the Director
for Planning. By special appointment from the Director General of Naval Materiel, is presently the
Navy's coordinator for the new Polar Transport Concept Design.
In 1987 received the honour graduation medal by the Naval Polytechnic School-Electric Engineering;
in 2002, the Navy's decoration for Antarctic Services; and in 2004 was distinguished for his War
College graduation paper addressing geopolitical studies related to China.
