The Spasatel Demidov was called upon to control a fire aboard two LNG carriers, in the Sea of Azov, on January 21, 2019.[4][5] Despite throwing water on both the ships, fire continued for three to five days or more.[6]

In November 2023, Spasatel Karev repaired the Baltika telecommunications cable that had been damaged at the same time with the Balticconnector natural gas pipeline in the Gulf of Finland.[7]
