During his visit to the North
River Terminal, Vladimir Putin took part in a ceremony to launch the first
regular year-round electric river transport service.
Moscow Mayor c reported
to the President, among other things, on the work done on the ecological
rehabilitation of the Moskva River, on the programme for the comprehensive
improvement of the capital’s embankments and beach areas, as well as on the renovation
of the North River Terminal and a large-scale reconstruction of the South River
Terminal. Nikolai Pozhidayev, head of Sitronics company, talked about the new
electric boats to be used on the river route; the boats were built at the company’s
yards.
After that, Vladimir Putin took part,
via videoconference, in a ceremony to launch this new mode of public transport –
electric riverboats, which will begin regular passenger service on the Moskva
River starting June 20. The first route, which is over 6.5 km long, connects Kievsky
Railway Station and the pier on Shelepikhinskaya embankment, a district in Moscow
where active construction and development projects are underway. The riverboat
service will have a capacity of 15,000–16,000 passengers per day.
The North River Terminal is located on the bank of Khimki
Reservoir in Moscow. Its comprehensive renovation ran from August 2018 through
September 2020. A large-scale project to reconstruct the South River Terminal, located
on the left bank of the Nagatinskaya Poima, was launched in 2021 and completed
in April 2023. These river terminals will revive the popularity of the Moscow
Golden Ring route, which starts at the North River Terminal, continues through
Rybinsk, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan and Kolomna, and ends at the South River Terminal.
