Ambal at a “low start”

The Ambal railway ferry, operating on the Ust-Luga – Baltiysk line, continues to undergo scheduled repairs at the Kanonersky Shipyard.

At present, dock work has been completed: all components and mechanisms of the vessel have been defectively examined, the hull has been completely painted, the rudder propeller complex and shaft lines have been repaired.

The ferry has left the dock and in the near future mooring and sea trials will be carried out as part of the next survey and presentation to the FAI "Russian Maritime Register of Shipping". Tentatively, the ferry will enter the Ust-Luga – Baltiysk line on April 12, 2024.
