Dear shipowners and navigators!
During navigation in 2015, at the locks of the Volgo-Balt Administration, cases of mooring ropes getting caught between the wheels and the tracks of floating eyelets became more frequent, which led to their jamming and flooding. These incidents are associated with non-compliance by the ship crew with the Rules for the passage of ships through the locks of inland waterways.
Failure of the floating eyelets to operate leads to complications in the organization of ship passage, in terms of the placement of vessels in the lock chamber and the forced removal of the locks from operation to bring the floating eyelets into working condition. FBU Administration Volgo-Balt incurs additional costs.
In this regard, we ask you to take the necessary measures and ensure proper monitoring of the mooring ropes of ships during locking. If the mooring rope gets into the support and running devices of the floating eye, it is necessary to immediately report this circumstance to the dispatcher (watch chief) of the lock.
In accordance with Article 121 of the Inland Water Transport Code Russian Federation FBU "Administration "Volgo-Balt" reserves the right to impose costs on the owner of the vessel for compensation for damage caused to property when such incidents occur.

For the fleet – clean shipping routes
Dmitry Bessmertny, head of the Federal Budgetary Institution "Administration of the Volga Basin"
Clearing rivers of ice and, consequently, navigation in 2013, as expected, began later than predicted. This affected the lake areas of reservoirs to a greater extent. The flood was high and long, which undoubtedly played a positive role in the deployment of navigation, as well as in the work of the transit fleet.
Rybinsk Reservoir in winter period was worked down to the level of 99.04 m BS (04/17/2013). According to preliminary forecasts, the reservoir was expected to be filled to 101.91 m BS, which was done by 06/02/2013. The high level of the reservoir made it possible to operate until June 11 at an average daily flow rate through the Nizhegorodskaya HPP of 1550 m3/s, and from June 12 at an average daily flow rate of 1300-1350 cubic meters. m/s, with a depth of 350 cm for 5 hours and with a minimum depth in the “dip” of 270 cm.
As of June 20, the Cheboksary, Kuibyshev and Saratov reservoirs are filled to levels exceeding the NPL.
Hydrological conditions in the Lower Volga from the Volzhskaya hydroelectric station to the settlement. Streletskoye remain favorable. Thus, the hydrological situation in the Volga basin as of June 20 is characterized by increased water content compared to the average year.
To ensure uninterrupted navigation throughout the entire duration of navigation, the Federal Budgetary Institution "Administration of the Volga Basin" carries out a complex of track works, including dredging, maintaining the navigation situation, conducting channel surveys and ensuring the cleanliness of shipping routes by carrying out trawling and bottom cleaning work.
In accordance with the “List of inland waterways of the Russian Federation”, there are 9231.3 km of waterways within the Volga Basin, of which, in order to implement the established “Program of categories of navigation equipment and the timing of their operation, guaranteed dimensions of ship passages in navigation 2013-2015 according to FBU "Administration of the Volga Basin" and state assignment as of June 18, 2013, 4079.6 km are open for navigation.
Of the 4079.6 km of waterways open to navigation:
– with guaranteed dimensions – 3126.6 km;
– with illuminated conditions – 2975.6 km;
– with reflective conditions – 46 km;
– with unlit conditions – 1058 km.
The number of navigational signs involved is 4057 units, including coastal ones - 1380 units, floating ones - 2677 units.
The saturation of transit waterways with illuminated and unlit signs averaged 1 sign per 1 km, including 1 sign per 1.16 km on illuminated waterways.
To carry out dredging work within the boundaries of the serviced waterways, 12 dredgers with a total technical capacity of 11,600 cubic meters were put into operation. m/hour.
The volume of soil extracted by FBU dredgers as of June 20, 2013 is 1.53 million cubic meters. m, of which 1.4 million cubic meters were removed to maintain guaranteed track dimensions on transit shipping passages. m, on non-transit routes and contract work - 0.13 million cubic meters. m.
The main volume of transit dredging in order to maintain guaranteed track dimensions is extracted in the following areas:
– r. Volga from Gorodets to Nizhny Novgorod with a length of 54 km, the volume of excavated soil amounted to 311.15 thousand cubic meters. m;
– r. Volga from the Volgograd Gateway to the village. Streletskoye is 498 km long, the volume of excavated soil was 1062.77 thousand cubic meters. m.
Maintaining guaranteed track dimensions within the boundaries of the Gorky, Cheboksary and Volgograd reservoirs is carried out mainly without dredging on ship passages and is ensured by stable filling of these reservoirs to the corresponding NSL marks.
To carry out channel surveys, the Department involved 7 parties.
During the navigation period, channel parties perform:
– channel surveys to monitor the dimensions of the path, as well as to place and adjust the location of navigational barriers to the ship's passage (NOSH);
– prepare planning material for proofreading and drawing up pilot charts within the boundaries of the Volga basin;
– prepare planning material to ensure the production of dredging operations and carry out control surveys;
– channel surveys under contracts with third parties;
– restore the reference farm;
– compile albums of plans for areas where riverbed surveys were carried out.
The volume of trawling work performed as of 06/01/2013 is 54 square meters. km.
In order to provide skippers with operational navigational information during the non-navigation period, the Federal Budgetary Institution “Administration of the Volga Basin” has entered into government contracts and agreements with state centers for hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring to obtain hydrometeorological and operational forecast information.
In order to check the quality of maintenance of inland waterways, a spring inspection of the route was carried out with the participation of representatives of the Volga UGMRN Rostransnadzor and shipowners, as well as scheduled inspections of waterways by employees of the FBU Volga Basin Administration. Based on the results of the inspections, it was noted in the acts and reports that the actual placement of navigation fence signs corresponds to the approved diagrams, the quantitative and qualitative composition of the navigation signs meets the requirements for safe navigation conditions for ships. The visibility of signs and signal lights complies with the requirements of GOST 26600-98, i.e. The quality of the navigation environment on transit waterways ensures safe navigation.
In July 2013, the reconstruction of the Saralevsky water hub began, the total cost of work is 594.7 million rubles, the volume of soil removed is 4457 thousand cubic meters. m. The project provides for the creation in the section of the Saralevsky water hub (2630-2667 km of the Volga River) of a ship passage that ensures safe navigation conditions, with a radius of curvature of 1100 m instead of the existing 700 m.
Port control: first results
Almost a year has passed since Federal Law No. 131-FZ of July 28, 2012 of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation came into force. First planned reporting period. So what results have been achieved in the Volga basin?
Evgeniy Lepekhin, Federal Budgetary Institution "Administration of the Volga Basin", Deputy Head - Captain of the Volga Basin GDP
In pursuance of the provisions of the KVVT RF FBU "Volga State basin management Waterways and Shipping" was renamed into the Federal Budgetary Institution "Administration of the Volga Basin of Inland Waterways". The Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport has agreed on a new version of the charter and a structural diagram of the organization.
Based on the provisions of the Code and in accordance with the structural diagram of the Administration, the captain of the Volga Basin organizes and controls the activities of the units that are part of the Administration of the Volga Basin:
– Service for state registration of ships and rights to them (7 people).
– Vessel Traffic Regulation Service (64 people).
– State Port Control Service (51 people).
– Certification, certification and passport and visa regime service (10 people).
– Navigation Safety and Radio Navigation Service (4 people).
In relation to the activities of state port control in the Volga basin of inland waterways, a calendar year has passed. Moreover, it is the calendar year without reference to the navigation period. In the southern regions of Russia, inspections of ships and other floating objects operated by shipowners outside navigation periods were carried out. Inspections of watercraft used for crossings in winter in major cities of the Volga region were carried out.
The structural diagram of state port control of the Volga Basin Administration remains the same. These are six inspections located geographically throughout the basin in cities: Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, Volgograd and Astrakhan. Inspections are headed by heads of inspections - deputy heads of branches of the Administration. General management of activities is carried out by the State Port Control Service (SPK) under the Administration of the Volga Basin. Over the past period, the staff of inspectors has systematically increased, the total number of inspectors today is 52 people. The optimal working hours for inspectors have been determined.
The process of selecting vessels for scheduled inspections has been developed. In each territorial inspection of the Civil Procedure Code, based on the daily location of vessel traffic available at the control dispatch centers of the Volga Basin, data on vessels from the port state control information system and additional information presented in the MoRe CIIS, a list of vessels scheduled for inspections is compiled. Information on ships and other floating objects scheduled for inspection, indicating the location of the inspection and the name of the inspector, is sent to the State Inspectorate Service of the Volga Basin Administration. The Civil Inspectorate Service monitors the information provided, issues inspection orders, and distributes them to territorial inspections. Information on the results of inspections of ships and other floating objects entered by State Inspectorate inspectors into the state port control information system is also controlled at the level of the State Inspection Service of the Volga Basin Administration.
In order to bring to the attention of organizations operating water transport the innovations in the provisions of the Code of Inland Water Transport, including those that entered into force on 01/01/2013, during the non-navigation period meetings and conferences were held with representatives of shipowners and ship captains. Changes and additions were made to additional training programs for executive managers on navigation safety of shipping companies and advanced training for officers of inland courts water swimming. Maximum quantity information was posted on the website of the Administration of the Volga Basin, explanatory consultations were held when representatives of organizations - shipowners and ship captains applied.
It should be noted that the result of such events had a positive impact on the statistics of ship inspections. The number of violations of mandatory requirements due to the invalidity of ship documents specified in Article 14 of the KVVT and inconsistency of diplomas and certificates of ship crew members has decreased significantly.
Over the past period, operational interaction has been organized between the state port control service of the Federal Budgetary Institution “Volga Basin Administration” and the Volga Department of State Marine and River Supervision of Rostransnadzor. Information is provided by the Civil Procedure Code service on the following facts: identified violations of mandatory requirements that resulted in a temporary delay in the movement of the vessel (name of the vessel, name of the shipowner, list of identified violations); identified violations of licensing requirements (lack of a license for the type of activity, lack of an agreement for the use of the basin infrastructure, lack of an appointed person responsible for the safety of navigation in the company, lack of insurance coverage for the activity); identified violations by the vessel of regulatory documents regulating traffic along the Volga Basin waterway (standard patterns for the formation of convoys, overall dimensions, rules of navigation, locking, radio communications).
Significant results of interaction are: organization of joint inspections of vessels after a recorded fact of a transport accident; making joint decisions and performing operational actions in emergency situations (blocking traffic, moving the shipping lane, emergency situations); carrying out certifications of specialists and executive managers responsible for the safety of navigation of third-party organizations, including the dispatch apparatus of ports and shipowners.
The activities of the Volga Basin Administration are carried out within the administrative boundaries of fifteen constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Taking into account the temporary process of entry into force of regulatory by-laws regulating the activities of state port control on inland waterways, over the past period the control and supervisory authorities have carried out inspections of the implementation of legislation in the field of navigation safety. Together with representatives of the regional transport prosecutor's offices, random checks of ships and other floating objects were carried out, inspections of watercraft during mass events on the water and in winter.
Indicators of performance of functions for state port control of ships and other floating objects on the GDP of the Volga basin for the first half of 2013 are as follows:
– 798 inspections of ships and other floating objects were carried out;
of which: passenger ships - 122, tankers - 77, dry cargo ships - 84, tugs, barges, auxiliary vessels - 515;
– the movement of 39 vessels was temporarily delayed;
– 3,196 violations of mandatory requirements for ships were identified, of which ship certificates and documents – 936, rescue equipment and supplies – 617, fire-fighting equipment and supplies – 578, condition of ship machinery – 16, other deficiencies – 1042.
Vessel traffic control
State registration of ships and other legally significant actions in the State Ship Register are carried out on the basis of the provisions of Article 16 and Chapter X of the KVVT, as well as the Rules for the State Registration of Ships, approved by Order No. 144 of September 26, 2001 of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.
The activities of the certification, certification and passport and visa regime service are regulated by Article 34 of the KVVT and regulatory by-laws in the form of orders of a number of ministries and departments of the Russian Federation.
The structure of the vessel traffic control service remains the same and consists of 12 control dispatch points located in the cities of Yaroslavl, Gorodets, Balakhna, Nizhny Novgorod, Cheboksary, Kazan, Chistopol, Ulyanovsk, Tolyatti, Balakovo, Volgograd and Astrakhan. The activities are regulated by Article 34 of the KVVT, Order No. 47 of 03/01/2010 of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, as well as the Navigation Rules according to the GDPR of the Russian Federation, the Rules for locking ships and other documents. The types and rates of fees for the use of the Volga basin infrastructure are determined by the federal laws “On Natural Monopolies”, “On the Protection of Competition” and Order No. 199-t/10 of 08/21/2012 Federal service according to Russian tariffs. All control centers have access to the MoRe CIIS and to the database of the Volga Basin AIS system.
The Shipping Safety and Radio Navigation Service ensures the coordination process for the movement of oversized vessels and trains in the Volga Basin, and organizes the process of eliminating the consequences of transport accidents with vessels. Interacts with the Volzhsky Department of State Maritime and River Supervision of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Transport and ship-owner organizations in terms of making operational joint decisions for the purpose of vessel traffic safety. Guided by all current rules, regulations, guidelines, manuals, instructions regulating the safety of navigation in the Volga basin.
The main summary performance indicators for the 1st half of 2013 are presented in the table.
The joint operational activities of these services are aimed at ensuring control actions and measures in organizing the processes of movement of vessels operated by ship-owning organizations of various forms of ownership in the Volga basin. The primary task when the captain of the Volga Basin performs his assigned functions is to ensure the safety of navigation; the responsibility of each structural unit of the Administration of the Volga Basin is to comply with the law in the areas of activity.

It’s a pity that the low surface clearance does not help in any way on the Gorodets-NN section. Judging by its location, “Ruzmankin” has been waiting for water in Gorodets since 18.30 on 06/15/11. Well, maybe I’ll go now. It will take more than a day
You write “judging by the dislocation.”
I am not entirely aware of how modern resources allow us to determine the location of a ship.
Marine dislocators don’t count, maybe there’s something along our rivers?
Here everything is well described, what and how
ponomareff.vladislav June 18, 2011
Let's say I decided to visually look at this miracle of ship structure. How can I watch for him in Volgograd?
No way. The last cutoff before Volgograd when moving from above in the location of the Volzhsky State Budgetary Institution is Balakovo. From there, even a passenger has a 26-hour journey at best.
And only God knows how the truck will go.
I spent a long time tracking the location of truck travel times on the Balakovo-Volgograd section and realized that it was impossible to formulate a clear relationship. no.
Well, I can say that we walked in ballast from Volzhsky to Balakovo for about a day and a half.

I’m interested in another question: Volgo-Dons are starting to be replaced, and when and who will come to replace ShPshki and Czechs?
For some reason I didn’t notice that the VP began to replace the “Volgo-Dons”, even though they promised. All their V-D went to navigation.
10 new ships will not replace 220 old ones. As they say in one cartoon, “the haircut has just begun,” and the essence of the issue is different, but the fact that the VDs have entered navigation is encouraging

I don’t know about the Russian Federation, but if there are problems with the Russian keyboard abroad, yes! The problem is big. For example, when I was in Vietnam, despite numerous computers and free Internet in hotels, I was never able to use it! I simply couldn’t type in login passwords for my websites and email. On subsequent trips abroad, I was already smarter - I carry with me on a flash drive a collection of portable programs, including a password manager and a virtual Russian keyboard. This keyboard helped not only me in Egypt, Turkey and Thailand, but also other poor fellows I know who enter passwords and logins in Russian letters. So I advise you to pay attention to this advice!

At the beginning of summer there was information that two 302 should go to the Caspian Sea for use as dormitories for workers. It was assumed that the builders of a new oil or gas pipeline, which should be laid along the Asian coast of the Caspian Sea from Uzbekistan, would live in them. It was assumed that the ships would move along the coast as the pipes were laid. So Andropov is the first sign.
Yes, yes, yes. Actually, I heard that it will be “Korzhik”.
I also heard that according to rumors with Zosima, not everything is clear about the next navigation.

MarineTraffic - what is it?
Marine traffic is a shareware service to track the location of a vessel online. On the world map you can find any ships that are in port or at sea. In the service options you can also track the location of the vessel by its name in real time.
When you select a vessel on the map, a window pops up with information about the vessel online:
- ship name
- type of vessel (container, tanker, passenger ship, etc.)
- ship status
- ship speed
- ship course
- ship's draft
Operating principle of Marine traffic and AIS systems
IN current time Almost all ships are equipped with an automatic identification system, AIS, which allows you to track the ship and avoid ship collisions. At what maximum distance can a ship be tracked on a map? It all depends on the height of the antenna located on the ship itself and at the nearest station on land. Conventional AIS stations cover a range of about 40 nautical miles (about 75 km). In some cases, the location of the ship can be tracked at a distance of 200 miles, which is, not less, 370 km. But this is the case if the AIS station is located high above sea level, for example on a mountain, and the ship itself is equipped with a good antenna. Thus, anyone can track a vessel online using the Marinetraffic service.
How to track a ship on the map?
If you have the name of a ship, the easiest way to find out the ship's location is to enter it in the map search and the system will immediately show the ship's position and information about it. If you know that the ship has not yet left a certain port or it could not have gone far from it, you can try to find the desired port in the same search form. And then use the familiar mouse actions to point at all the vessels and view information about them. Also, to make your search easier, you can filter ships by type. For example, select only passenger, fishing or cargo ships. The service is intuitive and if you have the skills to use a map, then finding out the location of the vessel in real time will not be difficult for you.

The Volga-Baltic Canal is a large hydraulic structure, a link in the Unified Deep-Water transport system European part of Russia. The Volga-Baltic Canal connects the Rybinsk Reservoir with Lake Onega and is the main part Volga-Baltic route. Through Lake Onega, the Svir River, Lake Ladoga and the Neva you can get to the Baltic Sea, and through the White Sea-Baltic Canal to the White Sea.
The length of the Volgo-Balta is 368 km, the waterway passes through the Nizhnyaya Sheksna and Sheksninskoye (Cherepovetskoye) reservoir, White Lake and the Kovzha River, the watershed canal and the Vytegra River.
Map of the Volgo-Baltic Canal (Volgo-Balta)
Volga-Baltic Canal - description
The Volga-Baltic Canal has two slopes: a steep northern (Baltic) and a gentle southern (Caspian).
Hydraulic structures were built on the northern slope, including 6 locks, through which ships rise to the watershed bluff to a height of more than 80 meters:
- The Vytegra hydroelectric complex is located 14 km from Lake Onega and consists of a dam that raises the water level in Vytegra by 13.5 meters, a hydroelectric power station and lock No. 1.
In the city of Vytegra, an old lock has been preserved - the only museumized wooden lock of the Mariinsky system. Next to it is a white obelisk - a monument in honor of the completion of the construction of the Novo-Mariinsky Canal in 1886 between the Vytegra and Kovzha rivers, moved in the early 60s from the upper reaches of the Vytegra from the village of Aleksandrovskoye
- 2 km from Vytegorsky there is the Belousovsky hydroelectric complex with lock No. 2, designed similarly to the first hydroelectric complex
- At a distance of 11 km from the second lock, the Novinkinsky hydroelectric complex was built, which includes locks No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. The Novinkovskaya staircase is interesting both from an engineering point of view and from an aesthetic one. In this place, for three kilometers, the ships seem to enter along a ladder to a height of more than 40 meters. Perhaps this is the most remarkable place on the Volga-Baltic Canal: the distance between locks No. 3 and No. 4 is small and from the upper tail of the fourth lock the entire picturesque valley and hilly forest expanses are visible below
- When approaching the Pakhomovsky hydroelectric complex, you can see the village of Devyatiny and the five-domed Assumption Church. The Pakhomovsky hydroelectric complex with lock No. 6 occupies a special place in the Volgo-Balta system. This is the highest pressure and deepest lock, its lifting height is about 20 meters. This gateway ends the northern slope and begins the watershed leading to the southern slope of the Volga-Baltic Canal.
The dimensions of the Volgo-Balt locks are 270 by 18 meters, their architecture is of the same type, which made it possible to use the same parts during construction.
Further from lock No. 6 to the Cherepovets hydroelectric complex there is a single watershed bluff with a length of about 270 km, including a watershed canal 39 km long, the Kovzha River - 70 km, White Lake - 45 km and the Sheksna River (from its source in the White Sea to the hydroelectric complex) - 121 km.
It should be noted that the section of the canal running along the Kovzha River is the most beautiful in the Volgo-Balta. The local nature is practically untouched by humans - settlements are very rare, and those that exist are mainly engaged in logging. The channel width here is very small.
The construction of the Volga-Baltic Canal was carried out at an accelerated pace, so before the flooding of the territory they did not even have time to cut down the trees. And since wood deteriorates most quickly at the border between water and air, and under water, on the contrary, is extremely resistant to rotting, you can still see entire forests of stumps in some parts of the canal - a terrifying landscape similar to the moon. Even where, it would seem, there is nothing in the water, a high wave from the ship exposes tree trunks that are under water and are missing a few centimeters from the edge.
On the southern slope of the Volga-Balta, on the Sheksna River, there is the Cherepovets hydroelectric complex with parallel locks No. 7 and No. 8, lowering ships by 13 meters. Gateway No. 7 is old, and since 1989 a second line has been operating here - gateway No. 8 with dimensions of 310 by 21.5 meters.
From history
At the beginning of the 18th century, after Russia's victory in the Northern War and access to the Baltic Sea, the role of St. Petersburg was increasing. In this regard, new convenient routes were needed to connect the capital with other territories. For this purpose, three waterways were built:
- The very first, in 1709, was built the Vyshnevolotsk water system, connecting the Tvertsa River, a tributary of the Volga, with the Baltic Sea
- The Tikhvin water system ran from Rybinsk via the Tikhvin connecting canal to Lake Ladoga and the Neva, built in 1811
- The Mariinsk water system ran from Rybinsk along Sheksna and Beloye Lake, Kovzha and the artificial Mariinsky Canal, then along Vytegra, Lake Onega, Svir, Lake Ladoga and the Neva. This waterway was of great economic importance and served for over 150 years.
At the same time, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Mariinsky system no longer satisfied the transport needs of Russia and it was decided to create a new canal. Its construction began in 1940. Construction was carried out by prisoners under the direction of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. The Vytegorsky forced labor camp was organized for workers building hydraulic structures.
Due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War construction was frozen and resumed only in 1959. The facility was declared a priority construction project for the seven-year plan and five years later water artery was built.
On June 28, 1964, the first passenger ship “Krasnogvardeets” departed from the Ozernaya pier in Leningrad on a flight to Yaroslavl. In October, the structure was put into operation, and soon it was named after V.I. Lenin.
Volga-Baltic Canal - structures
- The peculiarity of Volgo-Balt is that all the locks of the Baltic slope, except Pakhomovsky, have the same height - 13.5 meters, which made it possible to use standard structures during construction. There are a total of 7 locks on the canal, one of them (Pakhomovsky) is double-threaded.
- 5 hydroelectric complexes – Vytegorsky, Belousovsky and Novinkinsky, Pakhomovsky and Cherepovets
- 3 hydroelectric power stations – Vytegorskaya, Belousovskaya and Sheksninskaya
- 25 earthen dams and dams
- 4 artificial reservoirs – Vytegorskoye and Belousovskoye, Novinkinskoye and Sheksninskoye
- 5 lock bridges
- 2 ferry crossings
- 11 marinas
- 4 operational villages.
Attractions
For tourists traveling around the Volgo-Balt, several green parking lots have been organized, one of them is in the ancient village of Irma. This area is associated with the name of the Russian scientist-historian Nikolai Dmitrievich Chechulin. Here he is buried, and a memorial obelisk was erected on the site of the Chechulins’ burnt house.
Tourist ships also call at the village of Goritsy, located on the left bank of the Sheksna. While the ship is moored, you can take the following excursions:
- The main one is to the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. Like other monasteries of that era, the monastery served as a military fortress, a support of royal power and a refuge in case of war or internal unrest.
- The second excursion is to the Ferapontov Monastery, world famous thanks to the frescoes of Dionysius, created in 1502
- And finally, tourists can independently explore the Goritsky Monastery, located a stone's throw from the pier. This monastery was a place of imprisonment for noble women; for example, in 1608, the daughter of Tsar Boris, Ksenia Godunova, was exiled here.
During the construction of the canal, many settlements fell into the flood zone. Residents moved to new places, but stone temples remained in the villages. One of them, the half-submerged Krokhinskaya Church of the Nativity of Christ, stands at the source of the Sheksna River. The two-story church with a bell tower was built in 1788 in the Baroque style on the shores of White Lake by order of Empress Catherine II. Now the dilapidated temple serves as a “natural landmark” for ships traveling along White Lake.
In the area of the village of Topornya, the North Dvina system (North Dvina waterway) begins, connecting Sheksna and the Northern Dvina River. It was built back in 1829 and has not changed fundamentally since then. It is currently not important for shipping. Only small ships can navigate it, so cruises along the Northern Dvina system are made less and less often. From the board of a motor ship traveling along the Volgo-Balt you can see the first gateway of this outdated water system. However, in our time this series of surviving wooden locks is of interest as a monument to the science and technology of the past.
The Volga-Baltic Canal was created by several generations of designers and builders who realized the long-standing dream of a waterway connecting the ports of five seas. The Volgo-Balt was and remains the busiest waterway, allowing transportation not only between regions of Russia, but also between the seaports of the northern and southern seas of Europe.
