The sunken tanker "Kabchinsky" will be raised in the waters of the Tiksi port.

The sunken tanker "Kabchinsky" will be raised from the waters of the Tiksi port. Tiksi is Yakutia's main Arctic port on the Northern Sea Route; Sunken hulls interfere with shipping and fishing.

The 110-meter-long tanker lies off the southeast coast of Boloncan Bay in Tixi Bay. It must be cleaned of fuel residues, lubricants and debris, removed from the water and disposed of from the body and remove scrap metal.

The starting price of the electronic tender for these works is 42.86 million rubles. The amount of the advance is 30%, the security of the contract is 12.86 million rubles. The contractor transfers money from the sale of scrap metal to the Republican budget.

The 110 meter long tanker will be removed by September 1, 2027, and all works will be fully completed by September 30, 2027. Kavacinski's removal was previously planned for 2033. But the average concentration of petroleum products in Tixi Bay exceeds 0.1 mg/g, and sometimes exceeds 1 mg/g in Bolongken Bay.
