Tanker-Museum “Surakhani”

A new interesting museum has been added to the collection of interesting and informative places in the city of Baku, which will surprise any visitor, of any age.  On March 1, 2021, the opening of the world’s only tanker museum called “Suraxanı” took place.  The opening ceremony was conducted by Ilham Aliyev.  For the creation and modernization of the tanker, a huge number of workers were involved, as well as specialists from different countries of the world, namely Great Britain, the Netherlands and Turkey.  This ship was not chosen for a simple reason.  The vessel has made a huge contribution to the development, production and transportation of oil by sea.  The dimensions of the vessel are not that small.

The length is 123.5 meters.  The decision to reconstruct the ship for a museum was made in 2017.  The museum consists of several halls, which are equipped with the latest innovative solutions.  Visitors can get acquainted with the underwater world of the Caspian Sea, the history of the development of oil production and oil transportation.  A beautiful panorama of the city of Baku and the Caspian Sea opens from the upper deck of the ship.  Also, on different simulators, you can perform various tasks of mooring the vessel and moving cargo on the deck.  All this innovative and modern equipment of the museum halls attracts a huge number of visitors.  After a fascinating and interesting acquaintance with the history of the development of oil production in Azerbaijan, you can visit the restaurant, which offers national dishes of Azerbaijan cuisine, prepared from sea products.

An interesting museum is located in one of the old districts of Baku-Bail near the Water Sports Palace.  It will take a lot of time to reach it by public transport, therefore, for your convenience and to save your time, the Karavan Rent A Car in Baku company offers to rent cars at the best prices.  The team of the Karavan Car Hire in Baku company guarantees you complete safety while driving.
