The ship's hull was originally built as hull no. 15 of the Murom B-44 type bulk carrier design with construction number B44/15. (The operational parameters (size, speed and type of reloading equipment) of the B-44 type ships corresponded to the Krasnograd type ships built in Finland). The hull was then rebuilt for the new B-40 design and the construction number was changed to B40/02. (The first ship of the B40 series was called Kommunist).
Under its original name (translated as COMMUNIST BANNER), the ship sailed until the collapse of the Soviet Union (1992). Later the name was changed to SIRIUS.
