The Kapitan Kuznetsov, which was found recently with 11 crew members on board, is now bound for the port of Arkhangelsk escorted by icebreaker Dixon (Rosmorport), the regional EMERCOM said. The dry bulk carrier is sailing under her own power.
An earlier report said the stricken ship was spotted by the IL-38 maritime patrol aircraft during an hours-long search on 67 degrees 14 min north latitude, 42 degrees 58 min east longitude. The Dixon icebreaker of Rosmorport joined today the fleet of vessels engaged in the search operation and arrived at site a few hours ago.
