A new PPKR border patrol ship, called “Sakhalin”arrived in the territory of Kamchatka on September 8, marking an important reinforcement for the region’s border fleet.
The arrival of the vessel coincided with the anniversary of the formation of the Detachment of Border Patrol Ships (PSKR), giving even more symbolism to the event.
The “Sakhalin” crew was received at an official ceremony by Kamchatka Governor Vladimir Solodov and the head of the Russian FSB border board to the Eastern Arctic region, Alexei Trubettskoy. During the ceremony, the sailors were honored with departmental awards, recognition certificates and words of gratitude by the authorities.
The PPKR “Sakhalin” was built in St. Petersburg, at the Almaz Shipbuilding Company shipyard, following the 22120 “Purga” project, known for its versatility in patrol, escort and logistical support in challenging arctic and coastal conditions.
With its arrival, Sakhalin reinforces the surveillance and safety capacity of Russian maritime borders in the Far East, and symbolizes the continuous investment in strengthening the national patrol fleet.
