Inducted into the Russian Navy's Pacific Ocean Fleet search-and-rescue force in November 2015, Igor Belousov is used for search-and-rescue of crew in distressed surface vessels and submarines. It can also be used for providing emergency response and ship salvage. The on-board lifesaving equipment include a 700m deep-diving vehicle and two deep-diving submersibles used for search and lifting of underwater objects from the seabed and rescue of crews in distressed submarines.
