The floating dock, which had begun the inter-fleet passage to the Baltic, arrived in Belomorsk, from where the passage through the White Sea-Baltic Canal will begin in the near future. It is planned that St. Petersburg "Sviyaga" will arrive in the first decade of September, passing 19 locks along the way.
It is specified that the Leninsky Komsomol will be delivered to the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg, where it will be taken out of the floating dock.
