Biography
Until 1970
Volodya Ignatyuk was born in 1927 in the family of an employee. During the war he studied at school, this age was not subject to draft until the end of October 1944 . In the summer of 1942, after graduating from the seven-year school, Volodya was 14 years old and he entered the construction college [1] .
March 5, 1944 issued a decree of the State Defense Committee No. 5311 "On the training of commanding personnel of the Navy" , which allowed future sailors to study on state security. In 1944, Vladimir Ignatyuk left the construction college and applied for the Odessa Higher Naval College. After passing the entrance examinations brilliantly, he was enrolled in the Navigation Department [1] .
During training, as part of a group of cadets and teachers, the OVMU distinguished itself in the situation of rescue of the motor ship "Victory ", on which September 1, 1948 a major fire occurred. As distinguished, he was mentioned in the order of the Minister of the Navy N.V. Novikov of December 30, 1948 "On the rewarding of cadets and teachers of the Odessa Higher Naval School, distinguished themselves in the struggle to save passengers and the motor ship" Victory "" [1] .
At the end of the OMVO, Ignatyuk defended his diploma as an engineer-navigator, and in 1950 he was assigned to the Murmansk State Shipping Company by distribution . The first ship on which Vladimir Adamovich worked was the ship "Sofya Perovskaya ", he was accepted into the crew for the position of the third navigator . After that, Ignatyuk worked as the second assistant to the captain on the ship "Derzhavin ", the passenger assistant on the ship "Sestroretsk" , worked as a shift dispatcher in the management of the shipping company [1] .
After the birth of his daughter, Ignatyuk switched to coastal work, since 1953 he was approved as the chief dispatcher of the shipping company. In 1956, the shipping company was headed by Ivan Dmitrievich Danilkin , Vladimir Adamovich was his student [1] .
Since 1963, Ignatyuk transferred to the post of deputy head of the shipping company for the operation of the European line. In the same year, Yury Levin (another student of Ivan Danilkin) became the head of the shipping company [1] .
Together with his subordinate Evgeny Prokopyev, Vladimir Ignatyuk initiated the creation of the regular Murmansk-Montreal line, officially named the Arctic Line [2] . As part of the implementation of this project at the level of the Ministry of the Navy , a group of specialists was created to study foreign experience in this area, Vladimir Adamovich was included in this group from his shipping company. The formation of the group took place in 1968, the goal of the group was to resolve the issues of improving the work of Soviet vessels on the Canadian line and increasing the currency efficiency of the fleet in the transportation of goods by foreign charterers. These specialists were sent to the ports of Germany, Belgium, Holland, France and Canada [1] .
Vladimir Ignatyuk actively established business contacts with foreign charterers (primarily Canadian). Later, he appointed Evgeny Prokopyev as the permanent representative of the shipping company in Canada [2] . After everything was adjusted, the freight of vessels for the Arctic Line brought the shipping company a significant profit for a long time [1] .
Head of IME and later life
In September 1970, a new leadership change took place in the Murmansk Shipping Company: Yu. G. Levin transferred to an increase in the Ministry of the Navy, and V. A. Ignatyuk was appointed the new chief. During his active development of the Arctic , one of the key tasks was the Murmansk-Dudinka line. The development of the Norilsk Combine required the constant delivery of goods from Dudinka along the Northern Sea Route . This task was set in 1970, and in 1972 an experimental Arctic flight was completed. On May 1, 1978, the atomic icebreaker Sibir and the icebreaker Captain Sorokin conducted a caravan of two diesel-electric ships to Dudinka: Pavel Ponomarev and Navarin . This event meant that year-round navigation was opened in the Arctic, for which Vladimir Adamovich was awarded the title of State Prize laureate with the wording “ For the implementation of year-round navigation in the Western Arctic region ” [1] .
A separate task was the exploration of gas fields on the Yamal Peninsula . Due to the complete swampiness of the peninsula, all exploration equipment was delivered by sea from Murmansk, but it was required to deliver it to the drilling site on snow and ice cover. To implement this paradoxical task, Ignatiuk led several early Arctic flights with cargo for oil workers [1] .
