Shipbuilders in Khabarovsk Krai intend to launch the production of environmentally friendly river vessels - electric boats. This was announced by the head of the Khabarovsk Krai, Dmitry Demeshin.
Such vessels have been operating in the capital's water area year-round since 2023.
An electric boat is a vessel that operates on electric motors with its own power source (generators, batteries) or an external contact network.
Regional Head Dmitry Demeshin said that there is currently a growing demand for civilian vessels, barges, and hydrofoil boats, as they are needed in the logistics sector. There is also demand for electric-powered ships, which are still rare in the Far East but can already be seen on the Moscow River.
Demeshin also notes that there are plans to create a separate electric boat production facility. Then they can also be ridden on the Amur River.
