Earlier, the range markers were used by the Hydrographic Service of Russia’s Defense Ministry. Due to the fact that navigation and survey support for sea routes in water areas of seaports and on the approaches toward them has been given under the jurisdiction of Rosmorrechflot, at present, relevant facilities of aids to navigation are given to FSUE “Rosmorport” under economic management and assigned to the enterprise. Earlier, the facilities were under operating control of the Federal State Institution “The North-Western Territorial Property Relations Administration” of Russia’s Defense Ministry.
