During the passage from St. Petersburg to the port of Korsakov, the new vessel will undergo another test of strength on the Southern Sea Route. The ferry will cover more than 10,500 nautical miles, the transition will take about 60 days.
"The route is quite difficult, sometimes even dangerous," says the ferry captain Vladimir Marchuk. The ferry will pass through the Baltic, Northern, Mediterranean, and Red Seas and reach the Indian Ocean. Next, the ship will pass the South China and Japan Seas, the La Perouse Strait and reach the home port.
The vessel is intended for transportation between the Kurile Islands and between the island of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.
New ship of Project PV22 is designed for transportation of 146 passengers as well as transportation of general cargo including refrigerated cargo and packaged hazardous cargo.
