In 2014, survey vessels of three fleets of the Russian Navy will make long trips, including the circumnavigation, during which they will research remote areas of the World ocean.
“The Black Sea Fleet will send a Mediterranean hydrographic vessel “Donuzlav”. The main objectives of the campaign are comprehensive oceanographic studies of the Mediterranean Sea, the collection of data for the next hydro-navigation proof nautical charts, manuals and handbooks on shipping, a study of the navigation system, ensuring the presence and demonstration of the flag of the Russian Navy,” the Russian Navy Captain of the 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said.
According to him, the study area of the hydrographic ships of the Pacific Fleet will stretch from Chukchee to the South China Sea.
