The crab processor "Kildin" (KSP 01 project), built at the "Krasnoye Sormovo" plant, went on sea trials on December 5. The vessel headed towards Hogland Island in the Gulf of Finland, the shipbuilding company's press service reported.
The crab catcher has been in St. Petersburg since October. Here, the Neva shipbuilders were preparing it for tests, which will take 5 days.
Before the factory tests, the workers installed a smoke stack and a gas exhaust pipeline, and also checked the operation of all communication systems with the wheelhouse.
