Alert rescue teams are inspected at the Baltic Fleet

In the course of the inspection of the alert rescue forces of the Baltic Fleet, their readiness for task performance at sea was checked, says press center of RF Defence Ministry.

The rescue operation started with a mayday signal received from a conventionally damaged ship which had lost power in the Baltic Sea and received a big hull breach.

A Ka-27 helicopter of the Baltic Fleet naval aviation was used to detect the ship and to transmit her coordinates to the alert rescue teams.

The rescue operation was carried out by the crews of the diving support vessel VM-143, the firefighting boat PZhK-415 and the harbour tug RB-413.

The rescue group helped the crew of VM-909 to seal the hole and to pump out the water.
