Delayed Passenger Vessels by One Month
In the heart of the Russian Far East, passenger transportation along the Amur River between Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Nikolaevsk-on-Amur has been a long-standing tradition during the navigable season. However, this year's start of service was delayed, causing inconvenience for local travelers and logistics.
## Background The delay in the 2022 passenger service was due to technical issues with the vessels and the late delivery of safety certifications required for operating passenger services. The passenger service on this route is operated by a regional river transport company, which manages the Meteor-class hydrofoils. These hydrofoils are renowned for their speed and efficiency on river routes in the region.
## Delayed Start Details The passenger service was initially scheduled to begin in early July 2022, but the launch was postponed to mid-July due to the aforementioned technical issues and safety certification delays. The company, "Kompass," agreed to take on the responsibility of transporting passengers in the lower reaches of the Amur, making it the only company in the region with passenger hydrofoil ships.
## Sailing Schedule (Post-Delay) After the delay, the Meteor hydrofoils began regular trips from approximately mid-July 2022. Departures from Komsomolsk-on-Amur for the Meteor occur on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during the summer. The detailed schedule for the Meteor can be found on the company's website or authorized vendors. Each trip takes several hours, depending on river conditions.
## Additional Notes The delay in the start of service caused inconvenience for passengers relying on this route for business, tourism, and personal travel. Efforts were made to inform the public through local news and official announcements. Safety inspections and vessel maintenance were prioritized to ensure passenger safety.
