MT Timofey Guzhenko (Russian: Тимофей Гуженко) is a Russian double acting shuttle tanker operated by Sovcomflot. An icebreaking oil tanker capable of operating independently in 1.5-metre (5 ft) level ice, she carries oil from Varandey Oil Terminal, an ice-strengthened loading tower located 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the shore.

The ship is named after Timofey Guzhenko (1918–2008), the USSR Minister of Merchant Marine in 1970–1986 and one of the founders of the Sovcomflot Group. He was also the leader of the first expedition to reach the North Pole on board a surface ship, the nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika, on 17 August 1977.^[3]
