The self-propelled dredger "Irtyshsky-727" (project 23-110) and 14 other dredging units were used by the FBU "Administration "Ob-Irtyshvodput"" on the region's inland waterways. Technical fleet vessels removed 3.3 million cubic meters of soil, which accounted for almost 90% of the plan for 2026. This was reported by the press service of Rosmorrechflot.
Large-scale works are being carried out on the Ob River, including on the estuarine sections of the Tom, Nergi, Chulym rivers, as well as on the section of the Irtysh River from the city of Omsk to the border with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Dredging works were co-financed by the government of the Altai Krai. Under an agreement with Rosmorrechflot, the regional authorities covered the costs of extracting almost 750 thousand cubic meters of soil.
