The length of a non-self-propelled vessel of the "river-sea" type is 127.6 m, width 16.3 m, draft 3.8 m. Surface gauge of an empty vessel 6.7 m, displacement in fresh water 6000 t, in sea water by draft 3.8 m - 7418 t. The vessel has two holds, which allows carrying two different cargoes simultaneously. As previously announced, the barge will be used to transport grain along the Dnieper.

Now we have 2 tugs and 4 barges with a total carrying capacity of 8 thousand tons. Today one more barge with a carrying capacity of 6 thousand tons has joined our family. This tonnage will allow us, first of all, to serve our own cargo traffic, which is formed at the Svetlovodsk river terminal. And not only at Svetlovodsk, but we are also ready to work at other terminals along the Dnieper
