en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Moscow Shipbuilding Yard recently held a launching ceremony for a series of four new electric river ferries, which will be delivered to the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans) for operation.

These ferries feature a welded aluminum structure and are follow-up vessels in an existing series, the first of which were built by the local shipyard Emperium and are currently operated by Moscow Deptrans on the Moscow River.

Each ferry measures 21 meters in length, 6.2 meters in beam, with a draft of only 1.4 meters and a displacement of 40 tons, capable of carrying 80 passengers. The cabin offers 42 seats, equipped with USB charging ports, WiFi connectivity, tables, restrooms, and storage space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be reconfigured based on operational needs to adjust seat spacing and install armrests of varying widths.

The ferries are built using a modular structure, with the wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural components manufactured as complete, independent units. As a result, the ferries can be easily disassembled and transported by rail to any location in Russia, with rapid reassembly completed within seven days.

Operational trials of the first vessels in the series have shown that these ferries can handle mild winter conditions with broken ice. The entire fleet is planned for year-round operation.
