The dedicated crew worked diligently to conduct repairs, enabling the ship to continue its journey through the strait by 8 a.m. the same day. Following the successful repairs, the "Volgo-Balt 206" arrived at Bandirma anchorage, where it docked and remained stationary on December 12 at coordinates 40° 22.29' N, 027° 58.88' E.

On the night of October 19, 2012, the general cargo vessel Volgo-Balt 206 found itself grounded on the River Don between buoys 129 and 130. The incident occurred as the vessel was navigating past an oncoming ship, resulting in it becoming stranded off the channel. Fortunately, reports indicate that there were no damages to the hull and no leaks were detected, ensuring that traffic on the river remained unaffected. The vessel, which had embarked from Rostov-on-Don and was headed to Poti, Georgia, is scheduled to be refloated once the weather conditions improve.
