Winter passenger navigation on the ten all-season motor ships has opened in Moscow.
Ice-class motor ships with strengthened cases will transport citizens and tourists in the winter. They are able to break the ice with the thickness of up to 20 centimeters. A total of 10 such vessels will run along the Moskva River.
At the same time, about 140 summer motor ships which have been transporting tourists from April to November will be parked until spring comes.
