The handover ceremony took place at the naval base Flamengo on the Red Sea, with the high-ranking Russian delegation, the Red Sea Governor, and the military commander of the region along with a number of the Sudanese Navy commanders in attendance.

In his speech during the reception ceremony, Engineer Rear-Admiral Haji Ahmed Youssef said that “the ship is a real addition to the capabilities of the Sudanese Navy in the field of training, and appreciated the Russian support in this regard.”
