21 August 2021, Vladivostok – After successful fishing trials, the flagship supertrawler “Vladimir Limanov” owned by the Russian Fishery Company arrives in Vladivostok for scheduled customs clearance and presentation to the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RMRS).
During the voyage, F/V “Vladimir Limanov” underwent a number of inspections to determine the efficiency and reliability of the new vessel in real operating conditions. Leading Russian and Japanese food companies have already appreciated the first batches of high-quality products. The vessel is ready for operation and can set out on a fishing voyage.
On August 19, 2 crew members were removed from the ship with suspected viral pneumonia and placed in a shore hospital, where the fact of infecting with COVID-19 virus was confirmed. Upon arrival of the trawler in Vladivostok port, the vessel will take all the necessary measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection in accordance with the instructions of supervisory authorities: equipment, products, utility and work spaces will be desinfected. The crew will undergo a 2-week quarantine.
After going through all customs procedures and confirmation of the annual survey by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, the vessel “Vladimir Limanov” will set out on a fishing voyage.
