The transport ship Rolldock Storm will arrive in Singapore on January 16th to refuel before continuing its journey to Cam Ranh, where it will hand over the submarine Ba Ria-Vung Tau to the Vietnamese Navy.

The Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu submarine was towed to the Gulf of Finland for testing on September 10, 2016.

According to the maritime information website MarineTraffic, the Rolldock Storm transport ship, carrying the Vietnamese Navy's submarine Ba Ria-Vung Tau, passed the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa and entered the Indian Ocean on January 1st.

Previously, the ship departed from the port of St. Petersburg (Russia) on December 9, 2016, and traveled for 23 days from the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, then down to the waters west of Africa, and finally into the Indian Ocean.

The Rolldock Storm will cross the Indian Ocean before entering the Java Sea and arriving in Singapore on January 16th for refueling before continuing its journey to Cam Ranh, where it will be handed over to the Vietnamese Navy.

The Ba Ria-Vung Tau submarine is the sixth and final Kilo 636.1-class diesel-electric submarine built by Russia for Vietnam under a contract signed at the end of 2009.
