en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russian shipyard Emperium has delivered a new electric river ferry, Oreshek (Орешек), to the State Transport Leasing Company (STLC).

Oreshek belongs to the Project EM901 (also known as Moskva 2.0) series of river ferries, an improved version of the early diesel-powered vessel series that operated on Russia's inland waterways during the Soviet era. Compared to earlier vessels, its hull has been widened by two meters to accommodate more space.

The ferry will be operated by Vodohod on behalf of STLC. This all-weather ferry features an ice-reinforced hull, with an overall length of 32.15 meters, a beam of 7.8 meters, a draft of only 1.3 meters, and a displacement of 159 tons. It is crewed by three personnel and can accommodate up to 140 passengers on two decks.

The builder stated that the vessel's design combines comfort with modern aesthetics. To this end, high-quality materials and finishes have been used in the interior, blending the natural textures of wood, metal, and glass.

A set of 550 kWh battery packs will power two 200 kW azimuth thrusters, providing a maximum speed of 10 knots and a cruising speed of 6.5 knots. The vessel can operate continuously for up to 7 hours on a single full charge.
