“By this time, significant work had been done to re-register and insure the vessel, obtain new radio call signs, and the like,” the press service said.

There are two captains on board: Ukrainian — Oleg Novosilny and British “captain-mentor” Simon Wallace. The vessel will pass through three seas of Europe: North, Mediterranean, and Black. Already in Odesa, after the completion of all the necessary formalities, the official presentation of the icebreaker will take place, and finally, its new name will be announced.
