New Russian ship type

摘要

Russia's Nevsky Shipbuilding and Shiprepair plant in Shlis-selburg, in Leningrad region, has built a new type of fluvio-maritime bulk carrier in the fashion of the former Volga Don river-sea vessels. Neva leader 3 was built for North-Western Shipping Company (SZMP) and is a self-propelled 7150dwt bulker, which at the time of writing is undergoing sea trials.
