Template:Infobox water transit

The Moscow Regular River Transport (Russian: Регулярный речной транспорт Москвы) network is a water transportation system that operates year-round river tram services along the Moskva River. The system is operated by Vodohod for the Government of Moscow and is integrated into the cities public transportation system.

The network is claimed to be the worlds first year-round fully electric river tram service.

History

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, former state-owned river tramvaichiki were either purchased by private operators, or were simply abandoned.[1] Passenger operators using Raketa hydrofoil boats ended in 2006, with only tourist services remaining.[2]

In 2020, the Government of Moscow led by Sergei Sobyanin supported an initiative for the revival of regular river services. The first line between Fili Park and Kievsky was planned to be opened by the end of 2020, but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

In 2021 the first Project TFRP.401 electric tram was unveiled, constructed by the Saint Petersburg based Emperium Shipyard, specialising in environmentally friendly electric passenger vessels.[4][5][6] Based on an online vote on the "Active Citizen" platform, the first tram was named Sinichka.[7] In December, the Government of Moscow signed an agreement with Vodohod for the provision of passenger vessels, berths and associated infrastructure.[8]

In March 2022, sea trials took place along the Moskva River.[9] The executive director of Emperium Denis Tkachev stated that the network was largely unaffected by potential sanctions, with the majority of components being sourced from either domestic Russian or able to be easily substituted with Chinese imports.

While originally envisaged to launch on 1 July 2022, the network officially opened on 20 June 2023, on the 100th anniversary of the first Soviet river trams in 1923.[10][1]
