USC has begun sea trials of the Kerch Strait rescue vessel.

The first phase of factory sea trials has already begun. Specialists at the Amur Shipyard (ASZ) of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) have begun the first phase of factory sea trials for the multifunctional rescue vessel (MFASS) of the MPSV 06 “Kerch Strait” project. This was reported by the USC press service. “The trials will test the operation of the main and auxiliary propulsion systems, the vessel’s maneuverability and performance, as well as the functioning of the life support systems and navigation system. At the same time, specialists will conduct some mooring trials related to the vessel’s operation in real marine conditions,” the statement reads. It is noted that the first phase of factory sea trials has already begun. A series of subsequent trials is ahead, during which all systems and mechanisms will be comprehensively tested. As reported by PortNews, in October 2025, mooring trials and the commissioning of the vessel’s bow thrusters were conducted in preparation for sea trials.
