On 14 August, 2013 a Nautilus-800 multi-purpose boat was delivered to Tuapse Seaport and set afloat in the water area near 7a passenger berth.

The boat was drafted and built within 9 months by CJSC OKP Vera (Saint-Petersburg), which was the winner of the open tender for the choice of an organization to construct and supply a multi-purpose boat to perform surveyor works for the needs of the Azovo-Chernomorsky Basin Branch.

Having set the boat afloat, representatives of the shipyard started performance trials and operational tests.

When the tests are finished and necessary hydrographic survey equipment is installed and put into operation, the boat will be used by the Tuapse Department of the Azovo-Chernomorsky Basin Branch to perform depth sounding in the water areas of Tuapse Seaport and the neighbouring sea areas.
