Spinning and a plastic bottle: the Dutch were shown a "secret" Ukrainian technology at the Dnieper gateway

The new draft law on inland waterway transport, which caused a lot of noise in Ukraine, will be considered in the Verkhovna Rada in the second reading on September 30. If accepted, it will revolutionize the country's transport industry.

This opinion was expressed by the People's Deputy from the Servant of the People party Artem Kovalev in an interview with the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN.



True, according to the deputy of the Rada, now the river transport infrastructure in Ukraine is in a deplorable state. This became noticeable after getting acquainted with the experience and achievements of European countries. This is especially true for Germany and the Netherlands, where shipping is very developed.

Kovalev believes that in order to increase the cargo turnover of Ukrainian water transport, it is necessary to more actively use the large river routes - the Dnieper, Danube, and Southern Bug. But this is hampered by two factors: "killed" infrastructure and the lack of a sufficient number of cargo river vessels.

The infrastructure issue is especially acute. For example, the deterioration of the Dnieper locks reaches 75 percent. It is necessary to urgently carry out their repair and work to deepen the bottom. It is also important to maintain the information infrastructure and navigation equipment in working order, because all this is directly related to the safety of river navigation.

The only thing that Ukraine can boast of in this industry is the resourcefulness of its employees, who have to be smart in their daily work. On this occasion, the deputy told about an incident that occurred during a study trip of Dutch specialists on water bodies in Ukraine.

When a delegation from the Netherlands inspected the dilapidated Kiev lock on the Dnieper, a funny incident happened to it. Climbing to the sixth floor of a building without an elevator, which had not been repaired for decades, foreigners noticed a strange device and asked for an explanation of its purpose. The device was a spinning rod with an empty plastic bottle tied to a line. The device turned out to be a "secret" Ukrainian development. It turned out that it was a means of communication intended for receiving and transmitting documentation. In front of the passing ship, a bottle is lowered on a fishing line from the sixth floor so that the documents necessary for registration of the passage can be placed in it, after which the container on the fishing line was raised back.

In such a simple way, the workflow was carried out.

Artyom Kovalev is sure that the deplorable state of the river transport infrastructure can and should be improved. For this, a new bill must be adopted.

      I wouldn't scoff.
      Apparently, the financing is quite deplorable, since this method is used.
      The easiest way was to repair the elevator or install the system as in banks or shopping centers for sending money in tubes through pipes, but there is no money and in order not to run from the 1st to the 6th floor and back, I would probably also use this lifting method to the fullest.

          Not in this case. Electronic document circulation in the daily operation of the vessel takes place, but for registration of the “arrival” of the vessel in the port or the passage of the vessel by the channel, “live” signatures of the captain on the corresponding forms of documents are required. Electronic signature is not accepted ... In addition, a real imprint of the ship's seal is required. This "news" is not news at all. Everywhere the problem of "live signature and printing" on the forms of documents is solved in the same way: if the document cannot be passed from hand to hand through the side of the ship, then either a line-guide with a container for documents is used, or a "fishing rod" - a rather long pole with a rope at the end , to which, again, the document container is attached. In the port, this is how various receipts are transferred to the ship on forms of strict accountability: mooring receipts, receipts for tugboat services, receipts for the delivery of garbage ashore ... In the same Rotterdam, receipts for the delivery of garbage are transferred from a garbage barge to a ship ... All this is old a maritime practice equally applied in all the world's fleets.

    You can certainly laugh. Yes, it seems that in the rest of the republics of the former USSR, things are not better, in this industry, including Russia. Dredging is also not carried out, river ports work half-way, except that things are better with document flow ... And the root cause, the collapse of the USSR. They created the CIS, what's the point? Where is this commonwealth? Then, at the end of the USSR, they squeaked, here we grab our own, and then how will we begin to make friends, in reality, without communist ideology, on the basis of honest capitalist relations, how can we not feed each other ... And ...? They are ready to kill each other, or they kill each other ... And as they say, nothing personal, just business.

Do not remember how documents were transferred to your trawler from a bunkering tanker? Or how did the third and second officers send sailors from the tank or stern to the bridge so that those receipts for mooring and tugboats would be signed by you? I have been going at sea for 20 years, everywhere, either a guide, or a "fishing rod", nothing else has been invented ...

    This requires capital investments - either state (but there is no money in the treasury), or private (but this requires a stable and constantly growing demand for river cargo transit, plus the transfer of river navigation infrastructure facilities to private hands (but I don’t think that there is a great demand in Ukraine for river cargo transportation, but they can try to sell everything to private traders)

    I, having worked all my life on the river, now do not understand, why the heck is this nonsense with a bottle.
    Our ship does not bother with documents at all. Passed and passed. The task of the shipowner is to conclude in advance either a navigation contract for the entire season, or to submit a one-time application. Upon passage, all the necessary reporting is generated and goes to the shipowner for payment.

        The ship goes along the river with an open border. All papers are issued at the entrance port (the same Rostov), ​​and then in free mode. Nothing is formalized on the gateways. And it never took shape.
