Preparations are currently underway the signing of the treaty of the bareboat Charter between Rosmorport and LLC Oboronlogistics, the latter says in a press release.
This decision of the Russian Government will have a positive impact on the operation of the Ust-Luga – Baltiysk ferry service. The Baltiysk ferry is a twin ship of the Ambal ferry, which is part of Oboronlogistics's own fleet and is involved in the Ust-Luga – Baltiysk line. The operation of two ferries will allow Oboronlogistics to ensure continuous and uninterrupted operation of the line, while maintaining its stability and competitiveness.
