Soviet steam tug for preservation?
« on: December 02, 2014, 01:11:37 AM »
At a shipyard at St Petersburg is a Project 730 steam tug named BALTIETS.  She is in the background here: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1377682
I have now seen a recent photo elsewhere which confirms that she is still there, and it definitely named BALTIETS

She is not IMO 6851762

There are differences anyway, but she was broken up at Fredrikshavn in 2005

There was also a BALTIETS, IMO 6851750, but she was based at Vladivostok and listed as scrapped in the mid-1990s.  There are of course many of these that never appeared in Western registers.

Also, now lying next to the BALTIETS at St Petersburg, is a smaller tug named DELFIN, of Project 376.  There were several variants of Project 376.  The one in question has blue hull and yellow wheelhouse, and is of the same style as this KAZBEK:

Any help with these greatly appreciated.
