Russian Navy To Receive Rescue Vessels By Year End
Russia will receive 10 advanced search-and-rescue ships and boats by the end of this year to boost its sea rescue capability, a Russian Navy official said.
“Construction of the Igor Belousov rescue ship and the Viktor Konetsky rescue tugboat is being completed,” said the head of the Russian Navy’s search-and-rescue service, Capt. 1st Rank Damir Shaikhutdinov.
The Baltic Fleet will receive four advanced rescue boats while three multipurpose rescue vessels will be commissioned by the Black Sea Fleet, according to Ria Novosti.
“The Caspian Flotilla will soon receive an SB-45 rescue boat,” Shaikhutdinov said.
At present, all Russian fleets have British-built Panther Plus and Tiger submersibles in service.
