The dismantling of the vessel is carried out in two stages. Currently, specialists are dismantling the residential superstructure, which is about 17 meters high. The dismantled sections of metal plating and large elements of the stern are cut into smaller fragments and loaded into vehicles.

After the dismantling of the superstructure is completed, specialists will proceed to the second stage — cutting the underwater part of the hull. Previously, ship supplies, tons of motor oil, 18 tons of technical water and about 38 tons of diesel fuel were removed from the tanker.

According to Frants Kurovsky, a representative of Volgatransneft, some of the dismantled equipment will be used on other vessels. The other part will be transferred to the Maritime University, training center and local museum.
