Caspian sea ferry updates & questions

[roro]

Hi,
" the ferry boat which operates is quite new " Have you somes pic or infos about these "new" , especialy about toilets and bathroom?
I've seen some pictures some years ago: very ugly!
Plus time to wait in Baku, so I've choosed to drive around Caspian sea, via Astrakhan.
But if things have changed…

Update concerning the 'blue roof hotel' close to the port of Allat, Azerbaïdjan: it's been under renovation an now, a double bedroom costs 60 manat (made it to 50). Fast wifi, bright spacious rooms with bathroom..
We asked if we could pitch the tent inside de port, they refused (coronavirus?)

I heard that the ferry was stopped recently, and now is back on. Anyone close to the port with any news?
