VESSEL DESCRIPTION
The Kapitan Demidenko is a Russian-flagged general cargo vessel built in 1991, operating under MMSI 273398460 and IMO number 8907137. The vessel is a river-sea class cargo ship, a category common within the Russian Federation's fleet, designed for operations across sheltered coastal waters as well as inland waterway systems such as the Volga, Don, and Caspian Sea trade routes.
As a river-sea vessel, her dimensions and draft are optimized for dual-environment navigation, allowing transit through both open (restricted) sea areas and inland river systems. The vessel is equipped with standard navigation and communication systems required under Russian Maritime regulations and GMDSS conventions applicable to her operating area.
The vessel's AIS transponder has been recorded as active under the Russian Federation flag, consistent with her call sign UCQX.
