(VOV) – Heavy lift vessel Rolldock Sea carrying 636 Hanoi kilo submarine left Port of Singapore on the early morning of December 29 to begin its journey to Cam Ranh, according to Marine Traffic.
Cam Ranh is the last stopover of the one-half month voyage of mother vessel Rolldock Sea beginning from Russia’s St Peterburg city.
The trip was accompanied by five experts from the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg along with submarine Hanoi HQ 182 to Vietnam.
These experts will be in charge of final competition work before handing over the first 636 Varshavyanka-class submarine to the Vietnam Naval Force.
Earlier on December 27, Russian news agency Iterfax AVN quoted the shipbuilding industry source as saying that 636 Varshavyanka-class submarine that Russia built for Vietnam will be handed over on December 30 at Cam Ranh seaport.
Vietnam signed a contract to buy six 636 Varshavyanka-class submarines in 2009 during Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s visit to Russia.
636 Hanoi kilo submarine is equipped with the most modern facilities capable of defending the country’s maritime sovereignty.
