In Petersburg, the passenger steamboat "Chaika-LPG" of the 03622 project, whose engines run on liquefied natural gas, went out to the Neva. This is a pleasure and excursion boat designed by the "Zelenodolsk Design Bureau", and built at the shipyard named after A.M. Gorky (part of the "Ak Bars" shipbuilding corporation).
The length of "Chaika-LPG" is 58.8 m, width - 10.8 m. The steamboat is designed for 170 people, it has the largest open deck area among all civilian fleet on the Neva - 350 sq.m.
The steamboat is equipped with two gas piston reverse-reduction units with a power of 258 kW/2000 rpm, two gas piston power stations with a power of 90 kW, a cryogenic on-board gas fuel system. The cryogenic unit is mounted in the stern part, it holds 16 cubic meters of LPG.
