The Association of Shipbuilders of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region will modernize the "Sommers" catamaran as part of the "Sommers-NIOKS" project. Currently, these catamarans run between Kronstadt and Peterhof.
The "Sommers-NIOKS" vessel can become a new milestone in the possible implementation of initiatives that were directed through the all-Russian acceleration program "NIOKS" for technology transfer, including in the interests of practical use and application of a wide range of educational programs for many participants, thus the combined project can become one of the examples of technology transfer from universities in our country.
Currently, Neva Travel is exploring the possibility of operating the vessel using liquefied natural gas technologies.
