Vitaly Savelyev held a conference call dedicated to the celebration of the Day of Workers of the Maritime and River Fleet
Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev held a conference call dedicated to the celebration of Maritime and River Fleet Workers Day.
The event was attended by Transport Minister Roman Starovoit, representatives of Rosmorrechflot, regional authorities, higher education institutions of water transport, as well as heads of administrations of inland waterway basins and sea ports.
Opening the meeting, Vitaly Savelyev read out a congratulatory message from Russian President Vladimir Putin and addressed those present: “I have great respect for you and the work you do every day. We have been set high goals. I am confident that you will successfully achieve them and implement all large-scale tasks. I wish you success, good luck and prosperity.”
The participants of the meeting summed up the current results of the work of the transport complex in the field of sea and river transportation, discussed the readiness to start loading and unloading operations in the Sevastopol seaport, issues of completing dredging operations in the waters of the seaport of Makhachkala and commissioning floating berth No. 9 in Taganrog. In addition, they discussed the launch of the Nizhny Bestyakh transshipment complex and the completion of the restoration of the sea terminal building in Sochi.
Those present at the conference watched tourists arriving at the port of Chistopol after its reconstruction, listened to a report on the end of icebreaker navigation – 13 icebreakers took part in it, which escorted 1,380 vessels, and also saw off graduates of the Admiral F.F. Ushakov State Maritime University.
In 2024, the federal project “River Highways” was launched. Last year, about 34 thousand passengers were transported along 12 subsidized routes. This year, the geography of transportation will be expanded. It is planned that by the end of the year, about 52 thousand passengers will be transported along 14 routes.
Since January of this year, the national project “Efficient Transport System” has been implemented in Russia, which will become the foundation for the development of sea and river transport until 2030.
“Sea and river transport are an important part of the unified transport complex of Russia, successfully solving important tasks in the interests of the state and citizens and making a significant contribution to achieving national development goals. There are 62 sea ports in Russia that provide transshipment of goods and cargo for export. Our country occupies a unique place in the world in terms of water resources – the length of inland waterways is more than 102 thousand km. Active work is underway to develop inland river transport, large infrastructure projects are being implemented, such as the construction of the Gorodetsky hydroelectric complex on the Volga River, the Bagaevsky hydroelectric complex on the Don River,” noted Vitaly Savelyev.
