Storm season 2025 is open

At the end of October 2025, the coasts of the Baltic, Black and North Seas traditionally observe the autumn-winter period of storms. And last week the bad weather has already shown itself.

At present, sea transportation on the Ust-Luga – Baltiysk and Kerch – Kavkaz lines is carried out "according to the actual weather". All vessels are operating normally, but delays in voyages and cargo operations are possible.

Storms and cyclones at this time of year are a frequent weather phenomenon when the water in the seas of the northern hemisphere has not yet cooled down, and the air over the continental zone is actively cooling. This leads to strong temperature contrasts, instability of atmospheric pressure and the formation of cyclones.

In order to ensure the safety of navigation, the crews of Oboronlogistics vessels, under the guidance of experienced captains, follow all appropriate instructions, maintain the proper operation of vessels, comply with the rules of safe operation and prevention of environmental pollution.

In the event of a sharp deterioration in weather conditions, ships usually wait at berths in ports, or in places of shelter in the roadstead.
