The first of the Russian Navy's two Project 15310 cable laying vessels, Volga, was launched at Zaliv Shipyard in Kerch, eastern Crimea, on 18 August, the shipyard has announced.

Volga and sister ship Vyatka were laid down at Zelenodolsk Shipyard in January 2015, with construction subsequently shifting to Zaliv Shipyard.

However, while the hulls were completed by early 2017, progress has since been delayed because of equipment availability issues.
