Russian Submarine Scheduled to Move at 10AM on Tuesday

RI Recycled Metals LLC, the company that acquired the former Soviet submarine Juliett 484 in December 2008, has announced plans to move the submarine from its current location at Collier Point Park to property it owns at 434 Allens Avenue, about 1000 yards down the Providence River.

For a number of months, RI Recycled Metals has fought through a thicket of legal and regulatory issues to get all the approvals necessary. According to spokesman Ed Sciaba, this move is scheduled to take place at 10AM on Tuesday, August 11. The final move decision will be confirmed 24 hours in advance. Weather and tides may also affect the timing of the move.

A detailed press release will be issued on Monday, once the schedule is confirmed.

NOTE: Access will be strictly controlled, both at Collier Point Park and at the RI Recycled Metals facility. While advance registration is not required, entry will be restricted to those with valid press credentials.

THIS IS A COMPLEX MARITIME MANEUVER, AND NO PUBLIC ACCESS TO EITHER SITE WILL BE ALLOWED.
