Waters of Russia

 

 

The territory of Russia is famous for an abundance of natural waters. A well-

developed river network belongs to the basins of three oceans: the Arctic, the

Pacific and the Atlantic. The length of the unique Russian coast is about 60

thousand kilometers.

 

However, rich natural resources are distributed non-uniformly over the

country territory. Mostly rivers flow in the northern and upland (гористый)

regions, the least number of them flows in the southern areas.

Russia is washed by 13 seas. The total sea area that is under the jurisdiction

of the Russian Federation is 7 million square kilometers.

About 60% of all Russian rivers run into the seas of the Arctic Ocean: the

Barents Sea, the White Sea, the Kara Sea, the Laptev Sea and the Chuckotskoye

Sea. Such river giants as the Ob, the Yenisei and the Lena belong to this basin. The

Pacific Ocean basin includes the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of

Japan. The Amur is the main river of the basin.

Rivers of the western part of the Russian Federation flowing into the Black

Sea, the Sea of Asov and the Baltic Sea belong to the Atlantic Ocean basin. The

Neva, the Don and the Kuban are the main rivers of this basin. The Volga and the

Ural run into the Caspian Sea.

 

 

The Neva River

 

 

The Neva begins from the Ladoga Lake, flows into the Gulf of Finland

forming a number of arms and branches near the mouth and a wide delta. It is the

third largest rivers in Europe in terms of average discharge (after the Volga and the

Danube). The river is navigable throughout.

The Neva is only 74 kilometers in length, but it is deep (8-11m) and very

full-flowing during the whole year. The width is about 500 m. In the downstream

the floods take place in spring and in autumn. They are registered when the water

rises above 160 cm. More than 300 floods occurred after the city of St. Petersburg

was founded in 1703.

The Neva belongs to the category of “moderately polluted” rivers. The

absence of waste water treatment plants at many industrial enterprises in St.

Petersburg results in unsatisfactory water conditions in the Neva River. A special

water cleaning program has been carried out since 1974 by the government of

Russia. Because of rapid flow and cold water the diversity of fish species is small.

Most bridges over the Neva are movable many-segmented and only one

bridge is cable-stayed (Big Obukhovsky Bridge).

Rivers

 

 

Rivers originate from natural drainage or flow of water from the land to the

sea. The development of their beds and their direction depend on the character of

the soil, natural obstructions, erosion action of water, etc.

Sources of river waters are tidal water or rain water. High tides pass up the

mouth of the river and cause a flow of water up the river. This process is known as

 

flood. Deepening of the rivers by dredging or construction of embankments may

reduce the danger of flooding.

The supply of fresh or rain water is augmented by branches and rivulets and

the drainage from the banks. The rise and fall of rivers depend on the precipitation

of rain, melting of snow and ice, depth, width and slope of the river.

For efficient navigation it is necessary to monitor variations of water level of

rivers. It is very difficult to maintain a sufficient depth of water in the dry season.

The problem of shoals is very important for navigation. Shoals are resulted from

reduction of water flow velocity in the river. They must be removed by permanent

deepening the bed of the river.

 

 

Lakes of Russia

 

 

Russia possesses more than 2 million of fresh and salt water lakes with the

total water surface of over 3, 5 thousand square kilometers. More than 90% of the

lakes are the shallow reservoirs. Lakes are used for navigation, fishing and

tourism; they serve as sources of water supply for population, industry and

agriculture.

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world (the maximum depth is 1,741

m). It is situated in the south-east of Siberia 456 m above sea level. Its age is 25-30

million years. The Baikal concentrates 20% of the world reserve of fresh water.

336 rivers run into the Baikal and only the Angara flows out of it.

Lake Ladoga is the greatest fresh water lake in Europe. Its average depth is

51 meters; the area is 18 thousand square kilometers. Ladoga is connected with the

lakes Onega and Ilmen by the Svir River.

Geography of Ladoga is very specific. There are 660 islands in the northern

part of the lake. The most famous of them is the Valaam archipelago.

The Baltic Sea

 

 

The Baltic Sea is located in the Northern Europe. It is a brackish sea of about

1600 km long and 193 km wide. The depth of the sea is 55 km; the surface area is

more than 370 000 square kilometers.

The Baltic Sea is ice covered for about 45% of its surface area. The ice

reaches its maximum extent in February and March. Ice formation depends on

 

whether the winter is mild, moderate or severe. Navigation in this period is

impossible without icebreakers. The wave height is much lower than that of the

North Sea but violent and sudden storms often take place in the Baltic Sea.

About 85 mln people live on the coasts of the Baltic Sea. Russia contains

12% of the Baltic basin. The Baltic is called a sea of waste because many cities

pour their waste into this small sea and it becomes polluted very easily. All the

countries of the Baltic basin cooperate actively in solving ecological problems.

The Baltic Sea is the main trade route for the North West. Shipbuilding is

highly developed around the Baltic. Tourism is served by passenger ferry

operators, such as Silya Line, Viking Line, etc.

 

 

The Thames River

 

 

The Thames River flows through southern England; it is one of the main

waterways in Great Britain. It runs through London, Oxford and Windsor. The

Thames has a length of 215 miles (346 km). The river is navigable even to large

ocean–going ships as far as London Bridge. There are 45 locks on the River

Thames.

About 55 miles from sea the Thames begins to exhibit tidal activity from the

North Sea. At London the water is slightly brackish with sea salt. The average

discharge of the Thames is about 66 cubic meters per second.

In ancient times the Thames River froze in severe winters but only seven-

nine weeks. Today the river has never frozen completely. The building of the

London Bridge in 1825 prevented the river from flowing slowly to freeze in cold

winters. In 1980s a Flood Control Barrier was constructed. It is closed several

times a year to prevent water damage to London’s low areas upstream.

By the 18^th century the Thames was one of the world’s busiest waterways, as

London became the centre of the vast merchantable British Empire. Today London

itself is no longer a port of any note and the Port of London has moved

downstream to Tilbery. The question of water pollution of the Tames River is very

important. All measures are taken to make the water in the river to the standard

level of ecostate.

Water Transport in Russia

 

 

Water transport plays an important role in transportation of cargoes and

passengers. Millions tons of cargo are carried by inland waterways of Russia

(rivers, lakes, water reservoirs and canals); their total length is over 400 thousand

kilometers.

In the use of rivers and other water bodies for navigation it is necessary to

maintain sufficient depths and other conditions for regular work of water transport.

But the country’s geography and climate limit the capacity of shipping. Many

Russian rivers run from south to north rather than from east to west, constraining

their use during the Russian winters.

Russia’s major ports providing access to the Baltic Sea are St. Petersburg and

Kaliningrad, and Novorossiysk and Sochi are the main Black Sea ports.

Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Magadan and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy account for the

bulk of maritime transportation on the Pacific coast. The largest Arctic port,

Murmansk, maintains an ice-free harbor despite its location on the northern shore

of the Kola Peninsula.

Navigable inland waterways extend 101,000 kilometers, of which 16,900

kilometers are man-made. Ships of the Russian River Fleet do most of the inland

shipping, which accounted for millions tons of cargo.

 

 

Water Transport Problems

 

 

Water transport is very important for the development of national economy.

It does not demand high water quality, but is one of the most significant sources of

water pollution with oil-products and suspended substances.

Timber-rafting affects negatively ecological conditions of water bodies as it

changes the natural state of beds and pollutes water bodies with sunk timber.

In some cases the interests of water transport conflict with the interests of

other water users and consumers, such as water supply, irrigation and hydropower

industry.

 

For instance, hydro construction, on the one hand, increases the depth and

the width of a water way, but, on the other hand, it hinders water transport

activities due to the compression of the navigation period duration, sharp day and

week fluctuations of water discharges and levels in the bay of the hydro power

stations.

Monitoring of water bodies is widely used nowadays. The system of control

over water areas in Russia is based on the formation of monitoring in all basins of

navigable rivers. Scientific principles of water area monitoring help to develop the

strategy of control, usability and protection of water resources and inland

waterways of Russia.

Cargo Transportation by Sea

 

 

Transport by sea is comparatively slow, but it is also comparatively cheap. A

typical ship’s speed is about 25 knots, so it can take about six days for a cargo ship

to cross the Atlantic Ocean. One of the problems associated with carriage by sea is

that the cargoes can be landed only in ports, so trains and trucks may be required

only as support transport. This adds to both the cost and the time taken.

The great advantage of sea transport is that tens and even hundreds of

thousands of tones can be carried at one time. Bulk oil tankers can deliver three or

four thousand tons in a single journey. The amount of the fuel required by the

 

vessel and the size of the crew does not increase in proportion to the capacity of

the ship.

One of the original defects of long sea voyages was that cargoes were

harmed. Perishable goods deteriorated, especially when ships had to cross the

tropics. Modern refrigeration has changed that. Containerization also reduces the

damage likely to be caused in the process of loading and unloading.

Of course, ships of all kinds have to run storms at sea. Many ships still sink

with their cargoes and insurance against loss is covered by Lloyd’s of London.

Water Transport of Siberia

 

 

The length of navigable river and lake waterways of Russia is about

146.000km, a considerable part of them being in Siberia. Most of Siberian rivers

belong to the sea basins of the Arctic Ocean. The rivers are ice-bound for 5 months

in the south and 8 months in the north.

Rivers can be used for navigation or timber-floating (rafting) for a distance

0f 100.000 km. A convenient geographical position of the rivers makes it possible

to build large trans-shipping ports in the junction of railways and waterways.

A considerable amount of oil, gas and timber is transported up the Irtish and

the Ob. Cargo-handling in this basin is concentrated in the main ports:

Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tumen, Tomsk, Nizhnevartovsk and Tobolsk. Different kinds

of cargo (timber, construction materials, grain) arrive here; coal, raw materials,

metals are dispatched.

90% of all the transportations fall on the Yenisei, the Angara and the Baikal

Lake. Sea vessels go up the Yenisei to the port of Igarka. The Yenisei river fleet

exports and imports a great amount of cargo to the Trans-Siberia railway.

Krasnoyarsk river port with powerful mechanized piers carries out transshipment

of cargoes: oil products, coal, cement, machinery, food-stuffs, etc.

The total length of navigable waterway of the Lena River with its tributaries

is 7000 km. The Lena is a connecting link with the remote Northern regions.

 

 

Water Transport Projects

 

 

Each form of transport has its sphere of application. Technical and economic

features determine the scale of passenger and cargo traffic. The navigation quality

of the inland waterways transport is a key technical and economic approach. The

sphere of utilization of water transport determines the problems of the navigation

regularity, transportation means, possibilities of mixed traffic, etc.

Measuring the economic benefits of transport projects is more difficult then

measuring their economic costs. There are some reasons for this. First, some

 

benefits are difficult to express in monetary terms. Then, many benefits are

indirect, such as the stimulation to the economy from improved transportation.

The most important benefits from transport projects include reduced

operating expenses to the users of the new facilities, lower maintenance cost, fewer

accidents, saving in time for passengers and vessels, increased comfort and

stimulation of economic development.

The most direct benefit from a new or improved transport facility is the

reduction of transport costs. The first step is to estimate the future use of facility.

Transport costs vary according to the transportation distance, kind of transport,

type of cargo, variations in the economic situation, etc. The shipping rates (зд.

тарифы на перевозки) are very sensitive to changes in economy.

Diesel Engine

 

 

A diesel engine is a form of internal combustion engine. The main

characteristic of a diesel engine is the method of igniting the fuel. In a diesel

engine the fuel is injected into the cylinder containing highly compressed air.

During compression of the air the temperature goes up, the fuel in the form of a

fine spray comes into contact with hot air and ignites.

Diesel engines have high thermal efficiency and use not much fuel. One of

the important advantages of the diesel engine is its adaptability to different fuels.

But there are some disadvantages, such as great weight, roughness in operation,

rather high cost.

The power put out by the diesel engine is expressed as break horse power

(bhp).Effective horsepower is the power developed by the piston in the cylinder,

but some of this is lost by friction within the engine. The power is expressed in

kilowatts.

Large diesel engines may have cylinder 9000 mm in diameter and turn at

slow speed of about 145 rpm. Most merchant vessels are powered by medium-

speed diesel engines.

 

 

A Ship

 

 

The main parts of a ship are a hull, some decks and deck superstructure. The

hull is the body of the ship. It is painted grey, white and black. There are two lines

on the sides of each ship. One line shows the draught with a full cargo. The other

line shows the draught without cargo in her holds. These lines help to control the

degree of submergence and to avoid overloading.

Inside the hull there are frames and beams that make the ship stronger and

help to withstand pressure from outside and from inside. The forward part of a ship

is called her bow, the after part – the stern or aft. The lowest part is called a

bottom. The space under the bottom is a double bottom for carrying fuel, oil, fresh

water and water ballast.

The part of the hull below water is ship’s quickwork. The part above the

water is ship’s freeboard. Many ships have three decks: the main deck, the upper

deck and the lower deck. There are some openings in the deck: ventilators, scuttles

and skylights. They are used for free passage of air and light.

Cargoes are loaded into holds through hatchways which are closed with

hatch covers. There are cargo-handling appliances and machinery on deck, such as

winches, derricks, windlasses, capstans.

Deck superstructures are accommodation for the crew.

 

Types of Cargo Ships

 

 

Modern ships deliver cargoes all over the world. They carry general cargo,

bulk and liquid cargoes. Dry cargo ships transport packed cargo in boxes, bags,

barrels, bales, container; they can carry heavy weights, timber logs. Containers are

loaded and discharged by ship’s own derricks or by shore-based cranes.

Bulkers carry unpacked cargo, such as grain, ore, coal, fertilizers, wheat etc.

The holds of bulkers are self-trimming. Tankers are specially designed to transport

liquids: crude oil, liquefied gas, petroleum. Tankers are equipped with pipes,

valves and pumps to handle cargo.

There are special vessels that do auxiliary service. Tugs assist ships when

entering or leaving the ports and take part in salvage operations. Salvage vessels

rescue ships, their cargoes and passengers, if any. Icebreakers sail in northern icy

areas. Dredgers deepen port fairways, anchorages, roadsteads.

Ro-Ro ships load and unload cargo via a ramp placed on the berth. Liners

carry cargo between fixed ports. Tramps have no fixed schedule, fixed ports of

destination and fixed ports of call.

A Port

A port is a protected place where ships can load, unload and ride at anchor.

There are commercial ports, military, industrial, fishing and ports of refuge. By

their geographical situation ports can be ocean and inland waterway ports.

Ocean ports are usually located in natural harbours, in bays, tidal estuaries

and river mouths. They also may be formed on an unprotected shore line by the

construction of breakwaters. Inland waterway ports are constructed on navigable

rivers, canals and lakes. River ports have no wave-protecting structures.

Every port should be readily accessible, provide good shelter and

accommodation. The accessibility of a port depends on the depth of water in the

approach channel. This channel is deepened by dredging. The configuration of the

coast line influences the amount of shelter
