Russian bilge water removal boat resumes operations following autonomous navigation retrofit

The BWR boat can navigate with an embarked crew, autonomously, or while remotely controlled from a shore station. The latter capability was demonstrated recently when the vessel was in Neva Bay in the Gulf of Finland but was being operated from a control station more than 600 kilometres away in Moscow.

As an optionally crewed vessel, she will resume providing BWR services for ships visiting the Port of Ust-Luga.
