      St. Petersburg, Russia

      After waiting for the Annunciation bridge connecting the Vasilievsky Islands with the city centre to rise and for large commercial ships to use it, Energy Observer entered the Neva River.

      It is following “Voiles écarlates”, this mythical all-nighter in St. Petersburg whose festival will take place in a few days that Energy Observer has crossed the bridge to moor at the foot of the Hermitage, the Admiralty and the Winter Palace.

      On board, the French Ambassador to Russia, Sylvie Bermann, the Consul General of France in Russia, Hughes de Chavagnac and their teams were present to welcome the ship and share in this memorable arrival.

      “We are arriving at the 41st stopover of our round the world trip: Saint Petersburg, a magnificent place that I had the opportunity to discover 9 years ago during the Vendée Saint Petersburg race in a trimaran. After Sweden, Finland and Estonia, we are now in Russia with 100% battery and hydrogen levels. A great omen for our future departure towards the Great North towards Spitsbergen!”

      Victorien Erussard, President, founder and captain

      Energy Observer is preparing for many events with a presentation of the project at the French Institute this evening for a large audience in the presence of the captain and the team on board.
