Next sailing Friday
From docking on 2nd Oct and going off-line after two ten day shakedown/training cruises, Vladi rematerialised a couple of days ago, alongside in the Penhoet Basin.
Yesterday Oct 13, she was shown as next scheduled to move on 20/21 November.
Today, Vladi has been re-scheduled to depart early Friday 17th Oct. Destination/purpose unstated.
TS Smolniy is also in St Nazaire since 30 June, being used as floating HQ and accommodation for the two crews, each 200 strong.
October 31 is apparently the date beyond which late-delivery penalties apply.
"MOSCOW, October 14 (RIA Novosti) – Paris did not notify Moscow about cancelling the Mistral-class warship deal and the delivery schedule remains unchanged, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said Tuesday. "No formal cancellations were received. The schedule remains unchanged,” the minister said."
