On January 25, 2013, the RKTS Sea of Commonwealth trawler, following renovation and upgrading, set out on a voyage of the Antarctic.
The voyage was mostly experimental since in addition to traditional for RKTS kinds of products, an attempt would be made to master production of new products with the help of latest scientific and technical advances. Hopefully, it will give a boost to recreation of modern distant-water fishery and open new horizons for the fishery and agricultural sector of Ukraine.
