Specialists from the Amur Shipbuilding Plant (Komsomolsk-on-Amur) are carrying out commissioning works on the firefighting system of the rescue vessel "Kerch Strait" (MPSV06 project). This was reported by the press service of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC).
It is fully integrated with the vessel and includes a water curtain system and a foam extinguishing system.
The shipbuilders checked the main fire pumps, couplings, fittings, and system patency.
