Earlier, in 2007, 2010 and 2013 the NAVTEX service Novorossiysk coastal station also successfully underwent certification upon the results of which the enterprise was issued a relevant certificate of its conformity to the existing requirements imposed upon the work of the NAVTEX coastal stations.

In 2015 the Azovo-Chernomorsky Basin Branch modernized equipment of the coastal station that allowed for reducing the level of energy consumption, increasing the system’s reliability, ensuring the highest level of information exchange and equipment reserve.

At present, the NAVTEX service Novorossiysk coastal station includes the control center located in Novorossiysk and a radio-transmitting set located on the mountain of Doob in Gelendzhik. The effective area of the radio-transmitting set is 270 nautical miles.
