How Electric Vessels Sail the Frozen Moskva River at −15°C

The electric vessels operate on two regular passenger river routes in Moscow. They can work even in winter in very cold weather, when the Moskva River freezes and it is covered with a layer of ice. The electric vessels do not make tracks for themselves in the ice of the Moskva River. The diesel river icebreakers are used for these purposes. The electric vessels are capable of operating in broken ice. Look at how it happens. Shooting date: February 15, 2024.
