Models of river passenger ships

In the Moscow office of the shipping company "Vodohod" on Skakova Alley in House 11 there are two interesting models of river passenger ships.
The first model is the ship "Mikhail Kalinin".


This river passenger ship was built in Czechoslovakia at the shipyard "Slovensky Lodeinitsy" in Komarno in 1980. Project 92-106. The length of the ship is 135.7 m, its width is 16.8 m, its draft is 2.9 m, its speed is up to 26 km / h.


In November 2007, during the winter parking on the ship "Mikhail Kalinin", a fire (a fire area of 1500 m2, one of the team members perishes). After this fire the ship is still decided to restore. In 2009-2010, the ship is being restored in Finland and receives the status of 4 * +. The new name of the ship "Mikhail Kalin" is now "Amakatarina".

The second model is the ship "Nikolai Chernyshevsky".
Project 301. It was built in 1981 in Germany. The length of the ship is 125 m, the width is 16.7 m, the draft is 2.7 m, the speed is up to 26 km / h.




On the tank at the "Nikolai Chernyshevsky" two anchor-mooring spiers.



One strange thing is that in the office of the shipping company "Vodokhod" the models of these ships are not in the corporate coloring, but in the old one.
I then rummaged in the archive and found a photo dated August 15, 2009, where there is a motor ship "Nikolai Chernyshevsky" in the firm coloring "Vodohod" 'a. There he is, behind the ship "Moscow-84" "Capital Shipping Company" is at the pier of the Northern River Station in Moscow.
