VLADIVOSTOK. Sept 1 (Interfax-AVN) - The Antarktida (Antarctica) research vessel of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet (PF) has ended its visit to the port of Cam Rahn (Vietnam) and set sail towards the Singapore Strait, PF spokesman 1st Captain Roman Martov told Interfax-AVN on Friday.
"A day earlier the Antarktida ended its visit to the Vietnamese port of Cam Rahn where the Russian sailors carried out the necessary maintenance checks, inspected the vessel and stocked up on water and fuel," Martov said.
Now the vessel is heading towards the Singapore Strait area, the PF spokesman said. There, the PF hydrographers will continue studying marine hydrology and conducting detailed surveying of the seabed relief.
"The results of these studies will be used to further update the existing nautical charts, navigation guides and handbooks," Martov said.
