We study non-smooth migration of Saturn mass planets in the presence of
large-scale vortices in the protoplanetary disc. Vortices are non-linear
outcomes of shear instabilities associated with edges of the gap opened by
the planet. We present a self-consistent picture of this process, including
the formation of the unstable basic state, its linear stability and full
hydrodynamic simulations. The role of the instability in type III migration
is discussed.
