Summer navigation 2008 starts at the United Deepwater System from the Rostov-on-Don – Kochetkovsky hydraulic complex. Inland waterways are being prepared for summer navigation with repair works at certain complexes.

The results of the current year will depend on a number of factors including water level and dredging at different sections of inland waterways
