At the end of the year he took over the sailing paddle steamer America , which he handed over to Nikolai Matwejewitsch Tschichatschow in June 1857 . As a lieutenant captain, Schkot now took command of the Japonez. With the Japonez he supplied the new military posts on the southern coast of the Ussuri region.

In 1860 he was involved in the founding of the Novgorod port in Possjet Bay in the southwestern part of Peter the Great Bay. This made him one of the founders of Vladivostok .
