Instead of Russian cities and “Komsomol” ships will now carry the names of Ukrainian settlements associated with shipping.

In Ukraine, they decided to de-Russify part of the fleet as part of the process announced in August. This was reported by the General Director of the Ukrainian Danube Shipping Company, Dmitry Moskalenko.

“Almost all of our transportation vehicles are named after the Soviet era. Some are named after Russian cities and prominent figures of the communist regime,” the report said.

Now they decided to change their name. According to Moskalenko, instead of Russian cities and “Komsomol members” there will now be names of Ukrainian communities associated with shipping.

  • The tugboat Khabarovsk will be Mariupol;

  • Ivanovo – Genichesk;

  • Orenburg – Feodosia;

  • Anton Onika – Nikolaev;

  • Yakov Batyuk – Berdyansky;

  • Vladimir Kurylenko – Kyiv.

“Today, together with respected specialists of the State Service for Maritime and Inland Water Transport and Shipping of Ukraine, we are working on new names to avoid duplication,” added the CEO.

It was previously reported that around 40 Kyiv streets, alleys and squares were renamed as part of the de-Russification process.
