The Russian navy will receive a new deep-sea research ship later this month, reports RIA Novosti.

The Seliger is en route to the Azov port of Timryuk, where it will be based, said a spokesman for Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad.

The ship will be used for deep-sea research, search and rescue operations and for equipment tests.
