The fundamental reform of the entire system including the political changes began in January 1987, when the perestroyka (the restructuring) of the CPSU Central Committee plenum was announced a new state ideology.[9]

Voyages in the second part of 1987.

June 1987. The ship Sarny was loaded in a Black Sea Ukranian port and part of crew had to be changed before sailing. The staff captain and staff third officer V.F. Peretyatko had to be changed also. They all time went at sea or for vacation together as they were married two sisters of one family. The captain A. Yemeliyanov and a third deck officer joined the ship. The ship sailed from Black Sea port to Haiphong port in Vietnam. It was the last trip of old captain A. Yemeliyanov before his pension period. It was the first voyage of the third officer in the ranck third deck officer. Previous ship of the third officer was cargo ship Toyvo Antikaynen. So, the captain A. Yemeliyanov and third deck officer joined the ship Sarny for one voyage only to substitute the staff captain and staff third deck officer.

July, 1987. The general cargo ship Sarny arrived in Haiphong port for discharge.

After discharge the ship run to Saigon river and was moored at the berth of Ho Chi Minh port on Saigon river, Vietnam, for loading. During the loading part of crew visited the Ho Chi Minh City with excursion program.

After sailing from Vietnam with cargo for USSR this deck officer explainer third deck officer of the ship Sarny about some correction parts of the books to update navigation charts and books properly.

The ship Sarny did not call Singapore during this voyage and the crew was not glad captain A. Yemeliyanov which did not sought the call in Singapore. He wanted to achieve good parameters for this voyage and for this reason was better to take bunker supply in another port. He did not want any problem that can affect adversely his retirement. The call in Singapore could give the crew an extra income as per formula: to by in foregn country and to trade in the USSR.

The third deck officer supposed that the check had place due to he sometimes discussed about Perestroyka among own family at home only, mostly infront of TV set, and was disagree with the politic of Mikhail Gorbachev. Any how the custom's officers thoung find out and the third deck officer wanted to stop any discussing about politic in future, but somebody maneged by his mined and during the next vacation on shore he forgot about the check on board of ship and again sometimes discussed about perestroyka among own family at home only, mostly infront of TV set.

During the discharge in Nikolayev port the staff captain and staff third deck officer Peretyatko back on the ship and hand over date of third deck officers was on the 16 of November 1987. Next voyage vas planned from Odessa to Vietnam again.[10]
