The latest update from the Marinetraffic Marine website shows that the Rolldock Star carrying the 3 rd Gepard missile frigates of the HQVN (Vietnamese Navy) has left the port of Novorossiysk to return home.


Rolldock Star's next scheduled destination is Istanbul (Turkey), with estimated time of 7:00 am on 15/09 (GMT).

Earlier on September 4, the Rolldock Star ship moved to the port of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea, Russia, where the pair Gepard missile frigates (No. 3 and No. 4) carried out test and training work for the crew of the HQVN to carry the 3rd Gepard to Vietnam. 

The latest image also shows that the Gepard has been loaded onto the Rolldock Star's shipping deck.

So if everything went well in just over a month, the third Gepard missile frigates ship arrives in Vietnam, to join the Navy soon, marking a major development step. Strengthen, contribute to protect the sovereignty of the sea island of the motherland.

Prior to that, the planned schedule was handed over to the Vietnamese side on September 8 by the General Director of Zelenodolsk Plant (where the ship was built).

We will keep updating as soon as new information arrives.
