On 26 April 2021, the lead cargo-passenger vessel for 146 passengers of the PV22 project, the "Admiral Nevelskoy" (construction number 221), arrived in the port of Korsakov after a two-month crossing from St Petersburg.
 
Sakhalin.info published an article on the event.
 
"The "Admiral Nevelskoy" was solemnly welcomed in Korsakov - the vessel arrived this morning and was greeted by a formation of cadets from the Kholmsk naval school, a military orchestra and a whole delegation of officials of various ranks. Such a meeting, however, seemed to be too pretentious for a native of St. Petersburg shipyards - on closer acquaintance it turned out that the carrier, despite being from the second capital of Russia, is quite simple, democratic and unpretentious inside".
 
"The crew has no claims to the vessel's sailing qualities and reliability, and its captain Vladimir Marchuk confessed that he stuck to the Nevelsky with his soul. And taking into account the situation with availability of tickets to the Kurils, it is thought that the decision to avoid excessive glamour, but to ensure the appearance of vessels faster and cheaper, was more than justified. In the context of coming summer and new "ticket wars" passengers will prefer modest, but comfortable cabins rather than no possibility to get out of the islands and the Kurils at all".
 
"The chief guest of honour at the vessel welcoming ceremony was Governor Valery Limarenko... The governor told journalists how great it was that the "Admiral Nevelskoy" had finally reached us. - For us the subject of transport accessibility has always existed, we have always taken care of it. We are the only island region and our aviation and navy should be developed. The visit of this marvellous vessel is a signal that we will have new vessels. We understand that from now on the Kurils can go fishing, defend their Motherland, teach and treat people in any weather. Besides there are cargo opportunities, and it means more goods and food will come to Kurils, prices will be leveled. We expect that this vessel will bring not only new services, but also good mood for all", explained the importance of the event".
 
The crew themselves said that "there were no complaints about the sailing qualities and reliability". "We had to go through a number of areas that are dangerous in terms of pirate activity. She may not be an excellent sea-going vessel, but she is a 4+. We did not get into any heavy weather, but you can see that she is seaworthy and will feel at home on Sakhalin. I have been round the world many times and I have circled the globe once or twice every year. This time the weather was very good on the crossing - I didn't expect that, it was a little bumpy just two times and that was it. I think it's because of the icon we have on the bridge. St. Nicholas kept us safe. And since it started that way, the weather will continue to favour "Admiral Nevelsky". Yesterday when I was standing on the bridge I understood that I was about to be disembarked from the vessel - I felt uneasy and got into it. It has a soul, and it has grown into my soul", said the captain and asked future passengers to take care of the new vessel and treat their quarters as a small but still home...
 
... he added that the "Admiral Nevelsky" is very pleasant to sail - the vessel is quite manoeuvrable and responsive. During the crossing the crew had to spend several days in the ice-clogged Gulf of Finland. The crew had to spend several days in the ice-clogged Gulf of Finland during the voyage.
