Regular river electric boats, like all city transport, are currently undergoing mandatory winter preparations to ensure comfortable and safe river travel. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"We are currently preparing our river electric vessels for the cold season, following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions. Regular river electric transport avoids congestion and is unaffected by weather conditions, running on schedule year-round. Thanks to their reinforced hulls, the vessels can navigate through finely broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick, and we always maintain a comfortable temperature at the piers and inside the vessels. Thanks to these alternative routes, Muscovites can save up to 30-40 minutes on travel," noted Maxim Liksutov.

Electric vessels are tested for heating and ventilation systems, as well as automatic doors and ramps. This type of vessel has a reinforced hull and an "ice-20" rating, allowing it to navigate through finely broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick.

During winter, icebreaker support is provided on river routes. Before winter, heating and ventilation systems are checked at piers, and the necessary equipment for clearing snow, ice, and icicles is ensured. Special attention is paid to the anti-icing systems installed at moorings to prevent ice from forming on the hull of the floating pier and the surrounding waters.

Buoys with reinforced hulls are installed along the Moscow River for navigation along the routes. These buoys have a special shape that allows them to function in icy conditions.

In addition, crews undergo additional training on occupational health and safety and transport safety in connection with deteriorating weather conditions, and are also provided with winter uniforms.

Since the beginning of 2025, passengers have taken over 1.1 million trips on year-round electric vessels. This figure represents a more than 20 percent increase compared to last year. Winter rates are in effect on regular river electric transport until April 30. More information on fares, schedules, and routes is available atwebsite.

The fresh Kamchatka crab season has begun at the "Moscow on the Wave" markets. They are delivered within 24 hours in specially equipped trucks, where special conditions are maintained to ensure the crabs reach the shelves alive. Despite their name, Kamchatka crabs are delivered to Moscow not from the Far East, but from Murmansk. They were introduced to the Barents Sea for commercial development back in the 1960s and 1970s. The cold Arctic waters proved to be a comfortable environment for the crabs: they quickly adapted and established a stable population.

A Kamchatka crab weighs between three and five kilograms. Each cut has its own distinct flavor: the claw meat is prized for its firm texture and slightly sweet flavor, the shoulder is succulent, and the phalanges are salty, tender, and soft. The smallest cut, the knuckle, is considered a gourmet snack and is prized for its delicate meat fibers.

A single crab can be used to create a whole host of dishes: bruschetta, soup, salad, pasta, or risotto. The claws are often served on their own, the shoulder is used for rolls, and the phalanges are perfect for salads.

In the "Cook on the Spot" open kitchen area, the chef will boil or steam crab at customer request. He can also simply shell it, leaving room for culinary experimentation in the home kitchen.

The health benefits of crab meat are just as good as its taste. It contains B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus. It's low in calories and high in protein, making it a favorite among those who follow healthy eating principles. Crab meat also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the heart and blood vessels.

The "Moscow on the Wave" fish markets opened in the Kosino-Ukhtomsky district in November 2023 and in Mitino in September 2024. Each covers several thousand square meters. Since their opening, they have been visited by two million people, and approximately 1,500 tons of products have been sold. In addition to stalls, the markets feature storage areas with different temperatures, food courts, and workshop studios. Most importantly, they have laboratories that test the quality of all products sold.

The markets offer over 600 types of fish and seafood from the Astrakhan, Murmansk, and Magadan regions, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Krai, Karelia, Crimea, Yakutia, and other regions of the country.
