On April 20, 2017 sailing training ship Nadezhda set off on its first expedition this year. The sailing ship left Kaliningrad where its repair had been conducted. In the course of the work the ship was reconstructed. The running and standing tackles, mechanical and electrical parts as well as bowsprit were repaired.

The upcoming expedition coincides with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the frigate and will finish in August 2017. The sailing route involves calling at Port Said (Egypt), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Singapore (Singapore) and Sihanoukville (Cambodia). The ending point of the route is the Vladivostok Seaport.

120 students of the Maritime State University named after admiral G.I. Nevelskoy with a specialization in: ship drivers, ship engineers and electrical engineering will have a practical training on the frigate's board. Besides, the students will acquire primary skills for working in the fleet and master the craft of marine sailing. The frigate Nadezhda will make almost all its voyage under sail.

In June 2016 the sailing ship left the home port of Vladivostok. In two months “Nadezhda” had sailed to the Black Sea through the Indian Ocean. In September it took part in the Black Sea race of large sailing ships. 

Overall more than one and a half thousands of seamen participated in the competitions. The ships ran over 1000 nautical miles. According to the overall standings results Nadezhda came second ceding the leadership to another FSUE “Rosmorport” sailing ship – frigate Mir.
