First what type of cargo ship is it?
Design 1013 ship
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_1013_ship
In total, the Soviet Union purchased 25 ships of design 1013. All purchased ships of that design were counted as Belorussia-class cargo ships by the Soviet Union and sometimes referred to as West-class cargo ships due to their manufacture on the West Coast of the US. All purchased ships were renamed.
