It provides tug, towing and mooring services for vessels in and around the Novorossiysk seaport, and also provides emergency, hazardous materials response and waste management services at the Port.[5]

Following the 1998 Russian financial crisis, business partners Alexander Ponomarenko and Alexander Skorobogatko started to purchase shares in cargo companies that they eventually combined to form NCSP Group. In 2011, the majority stake in NCSP was sold to Summa Capital and Transneft for $2.5 billion.[6]

On April 6, 2018, it was announced that the shareholders of NCSP Group will elect a new board of directors on April 13, 2018. This is in response to the arrest of Summa Group co-owners Ziyavudin Magomedov and his brother Magomed Magomedov.[7]
