Multifunctional tug Sivuch is the fifteenth ship of Marine Rescue Service equipped with the dynamic positioning system of DYNPOS-2 class. The ship has undergone major overhaul which included fitting with the advanced dynamic positioning system, says Marine Rescue Service.
Upon completion of the modernization, the ship passed sea trials attended by representatives of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. In the course of the tests within the sea waters the ship demonstrated the performance of DYNPOS-2.
