Russia's Vympel Shipyard, a division of state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation, has handed over four new response boats in a series to the country's Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The vessels all belong to the Project MS001 series designed by USC's Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau. Eleven examples will be built for operation in the Moscow Oblast region.
Each response boat has an aluminium hull, a composite superstructure, a length of six metres, and a speed of just over 40 knots.
The boats' duties will include search and rescue (SAR) and patrols in inland and coastal waters.
