Floating workshop PM-138 currently moored at Russian Navy's technical maintenance base in Syrian port Tartus will arrive in Sevastopol up to the schedule, late in Sept; she will be replaced with another vessel, reports Black Sea Fleet HQ on Wednesday.

"The situation in Tartus remains calm. Personnel of our technical maintenance base continue working there in ordinary course. In accordance with the pre-scheduled plan, floating workshop PM-138 will head for Sevastopol in the end of September. The workshop will be shifted by another Black Sea Fleet's vessel", the spokesman told Interfax.

As for him, there is no need to change that plan.

"So far, we haven't received any orders to embark people and equipment on board PM-138. There's no need for that", stressed the interviewee.

According to earlier report of Vzglyad newspaper, it got about last night that somewhat 80 employees of the Russian Navy's base in Syrian Tartus had been evacuated and taken aboard floating workshop PM-138 moored at the harbor.

It was also said that coastal structures of the base – three depots and an administrative building – had been allegedly prepared for handover to the Syrian authorities.
