History
The first ship of the series was built in 1973. Serial production was carried out at the shipyard "Sea" in Feodosia. High-speed diesel engines for the ship were supplied by the Leningrad plant "Star" and the plant "Barnaultransmash" . By the early 1990s, more than 150 ships had been built. In the 1990s, the production of "Sunrises" virtually stopped due to a lack of orders.
In addition to the republics of the USSR, "Voskhody" was delivered to eighteen countries.
