The Kruzenshtern, the world’s second-largest sailing ship, is set to arrive at the port of Agadir in the coming weeks.

This visit is part of the ship’s three planned expeditions for this year, according to a statement released by the press service of the Baltic Fishing Fleet Academy.

The Kruzenshtern, a renowned training vessel, will embark from the port of Kaliningrad between June 12th and 14th.

It will undertake a month-long voyage across the Baltic Sea without entering any ports, with 140 students from the Kaliningrad Maritime Fisheries College and the Baltic Fishing Fleet Academy on board.

The ship is also scheduled to participate in the Russian Naval Parade in Kronstadt at the end of July, alongside the sailing vessel Sedov.

This marks a historic moment for Russia, as it will be the first time in modern history that two sailing ships participate in the parade simultaneously. Following the parade, the Kruzenshtern will set sail for Agadir.

This is not the Kruzenshtern’s first visit to the Moroccan port. In March 2014, the ship hosted the second session of the Morocco-Russia Joint Commission on Maritime Fisheries, with the participation of Moroccan and Russian officials.
