Famous yacht "Siberia" from Omsk arrived in Moscow on September 1st. The yacht had made several extremal voyages, including the Northern "round-the-world" trip under the command of captain S. Scherbakov.

CJSC GlobalTel sponsors the "Siberia" voyage by providing a satellite mobile phone with data capabilities.

At present the yacht is following the "Siberian Irtysh - Northern Sea route - Volga - southern Azov sea" route. The expedition set out on July 5th from southern-most W. Siberia, visited the cities of Khanty-Mansiysk, Salekhard, Archangelsk, and St. Petersburg and after a stop in Moscow is heading along the canals to the Volga. The yacht will pass many cities and towns and visit numerous sailing centers. The voyage is to be finished in the city of Taganrog in October.

CJSC GlobalTel and Globalstar started their cooperation with "Siberia" several years ago. In 2000-2001 during the first-ever round-the-world voyage along the Northern Sea route held without wintering and icebreaker piloting and around the world the "Siberia" used free of charge Globalstar satellite communications and computer equipment for Internet access to obtain vital weather forecasts.

CJSC GlobalTel hopes that the satellite communications will continue helping the sailors in their hard voyages and wishes the brave crew successfully complete their voyage, to return home safely and good fortune in all their future projects.
