The longest fleet deployment for a bridge reconstruction (more than 430 days)

In 2024-2025, the company's vessels were used to reconstruct a major project – the bridge over the Pripyat River in Mozyr.

The design and technology for the work involved the use of a transport fleet: the installation and dismantling of temporary auxiliary bridge supports and bridge structures could only be carried out using floating craft.

The most complex waterborne transportation of metal structures

In 2017, River Shipping Company completed a unique transportation of two metal structures (trusses) for the construction of a bridge from Krichev to Slavgorod along the Sozh River.

Five tugboats and two non-self-propelled platform barges were used for the delivery. Along the 122-kilometer route were Cherikov road bridge and nine overhead corridors with 13 power lines.

The dimensions of the transported trusses are impressive: 84 meters long, 14.2 meters high, and 8.8 meters wide, each weighing 235 tons.
