2. ...Great changes will occur on the Volga as a
navigable waterway with the construction of the new gim,% hydro-
electric stations.
30 Major water reservoirs will be created as the
result of these constructions, and navigation on these water
reservoirs will require a more porierful fleet.
40 " The new boats must answer the modern
technical standards. The main nucleus of hoats in the Volga Fleet
will be scrow?driven passenger boats, tug boats, cargo boats and
steam-boats with high pressure stean installation and high-speed
diesel engines.
50 There will be an extensive introduction of
electrified boat mechanisms and a remote control of diem.,
6. The new navigation conditions will enable more
improved methods of fleet operation and fleet traffic organisation
to be introduced. There will be an extensive development of route
shipments of cargo as well as now riethods of towing; of boat convoys.
7. Ice-breaker type transport boats and even special
ice--breakers will be rergi4red to proton; the nevi -cation period
on the Volga, and particularly on the water reservoirs, where the ice
usually holds longer than elsewhere,

Our facilities on the river banks of the Volga
basin will also be altered considerably.
9. The new fleet will necessitate more improved fleet
service methods in the ports and in the boat repairing yards. The
rs?' n trend of the development of the shore facilities will be the
maximum mechanisation of much labour-absorbing; operations. The
industrial ministries will have to help the river transport workers
in the development of new crater
