Vessel Description

TALAN is a Russian-flagged general cargo vessel built in 1984 in Yugoslavia, operating primarily within the Caspian Sea region under Russian registry. The vessel is managed out of Astrakhan, which serves as a principal hub for Caspian Sea commercial shipping. As a mid-sized general cargo carrier, the vessel is engaged in bulk and breakbulk cargo movements across Caspian Sea ports. With a deadweight of approximately 3,147 tonnes and a length of 114 metres, TALAN represents a class of workhorse cargo vessels typical of Soviet-era construction that continue to serve regional trade routes in the Caspian basin.
