MarineTraffic - what is it?
Marine traffic is a shareware service to track the location of a vessel online. On the world map you can find any ships that are in port or at sea. In the service options you can also track the location of the vessel by its name in real time.
When you select a vessel on the map, a window pops up with information about the vessel online:
- ship name
- type of vessel (container, tanker, passenger ship, etc.)
- ship status
- ship speed
- ship course
- ship's draft
Operating principle of Marine traffic and AIS systems
Nowadays, almost all ships are equipped with an automatic identification system, AIS, which allows you to track the ship and avoid collisions between ships. At what maximum distance can a ship be tracked on a map? It all depends on the height of the antenna located on the ship itself and at the nearest station on land. Conventional AIS stations cover a range of about 40 nautical miles (about 75 km). In some cases, the location of the ship can be tracked at a distance of 200 miles, and this is, not a little, 370 km. But this is the case if the AIS station is located high above sea level, for example on a mountain, and the ship itself is equipped with a good antenna. Thus, anyone can track a vessel online using the Marinetraffic service.
How to track a ship on the map?
If you have the name of a ship, the easiest way to find out the ship's location is to enter it in the map search and the system will immediately show the ship's position and information about it. If you know that the ship has not yet left a certain port or it could not have gone far from it, you can try to find the desired port in the same search form. And then use the familiar mouse actions to point at all the vessels and view information about them. Also, to make your search easier, you can filter ships by type. For example, select only passenger, fishing or cargo ships. The service is intuitive and if you have the skills to use a map, then finding out the location of the vessel in real time will not be difficult for you.
Volga-Baltic Canal is a large hydraulic structure, a link in the Unified Deep-Sea Transport System of the European part of Russia. The Volga-Baltic Canal connects the Rybinsk Reservoir with Lake Onega and is the main part of the Volga-Baltic Route. Through Lake Onega, the Svir River, Lake Ladoga and the Neva you can get to the Baltic Sea, and through the White Sea-Baltic Canal to the White Sea.
The length of the Volgo-Balta is 368 km, the waterway passes through the Nizhnyaya Sheksna and Sheksninskoye (Cherepovetskoye) reservoir, White Lake and the Kovzha River, the watershed canal and the Vytegra River.
Map of the Volgo-Baltic Canal (Volgo-Balta)
Volga-Baltic Canal - description
The Volga-Baltic Canal has two slopes: a steep northern (Baltic) and a gentle southern (Caspian).
Hydraulic structures were built on the northern slope, including 6 locks, through which ships rise to the watershed bluff to a height of more than 80 meters:
- The Vytegra hydroelectric complex is located 14 km from Lake Onega and consists of a dam that raises the water level in Vytegra by 13.5 meters, a hydroelectric power station and lock No. 1.
In the city of Vytegra, an old lock has been preserved - the only museumized wooden lock of the Mariinsky system. Next to it is a white obelisk - a monument in honor of the completion of the construction of the Novo-Mariinsky Canal in 1886 between the Vytegra and Kovzha rivers, moved in the early 60s from the upper reaches of the Vytegra from the village of Aleksandrovskoye
- 2 km from Vytegorsky there is the Belousovsky hydroelectric complex with lock No. 2, designed similarly to the first hydroelectric complex
- At a distance of 11 km from the second lock, the Novinkinsky hydroelectric complex was built, which includes locks No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. The Novinkovskaya staircase is interesting both from an engineering point of view and from an aesthetic one. In this place, for three kilometers, the ships seem to enter along a ladder to a height of more than 40 meters. Perhaps this is the most remarkable place on the Volga-Baltic Canal: the distance between locks No. 3 and No. 4 is small and from the upper tail of the fourth lock the entire picturesque valley and hilly forest expanses are visible below
- When approaching the Pakhomovsky hydroelectric complex, you can see the village of Devyatiny and the five-domed Assumption Church. The Pakhomovsky hydroelectric complex with lock No. 6 occupies a special place in the Volgo-Balta system. This is the highest pressure and deepest lock, its lifting height is about 20 meters. This gateway ends the northern slope and begins the watershed leading to the southern slope of the Volga-Baltic Canal.
The dimensions of the Volgo-Balt locks are 270 by 18 meters, their architecture is of the same type, which made it possible to use the same parts during construction.
Further from lock No. 6 to the Cherepovets hydroelectric complex there is a single watershed bluff with a length of about 270 km, including a watershed canal 39 km long, the Kovzha River - 70 km, White Lake - 45 km and the Sheksna River (from its source in the White Sea to the hydroelectric complex) - 121 km.
It should be noted that the section of the canal running along the Kovzha River is the most beautiful in the Volgo-Balta. The local nature is practically untouched by man - settlements They are very rare, and those that exist are mainly engaged in logging. The channel width here is very small.
The construction of the Volga-Baltic Canal was carried out at an accelerated pace, so before the flooding of the territory they did not even have time to cut down the trees. And since wood deteriorates most quickly at the border between water and air, and under water, on the contrary, is extremely resistant to rotting, you can still see entire forests of stumps in some parts of the canal - a terrifying landscape similar to the moon. Even where there seems to be nothing in the water, high wave from the ship reveals tree trunks that are under water and are missing a few centimeters from the edge.
On the southern slope of the Volga-Balta, on the Sheksna River, there is the Cherepovets hydroelectric complex with parallel locks No. 7 and No. 8, lowering ships by 13 meters. Gateway No. 7 is old, and since 1989 a second line has been operating here - gateway No. 8 with dimensions of 310 by 21.5 meters.
From the history
At the beginning of the 18th century, after Russia's victory in Northern War and access to the Baltic Sea, the role of St. Petersburg is increasing. In this regard, new convenient routes were needed to connect the capital with other territories. For this purpose, three waterways were built:
- The very first, in 1709, was built the Vyshnevolotsk water system, connecting the Tvertsa River, a tributary of the Volga, with the Baltic Sea
- The Tikhvin water system ran from Rybinsk through the Tikhvin connecting canal to Lake Ladoga and the Neva, built in 1811
- The Mariinsk water system went from Rybinsk along Sheksna and Beloye Lake, Kovzha and the artificial Mariinsky Canal, then along Vytegra, Lake Onega, Svir, Lake Ladoga and the Neva. This waterway was of great economic importance and served for over 150 years.
At the same time, at the beginning of the 20th century, the Mariinsky system no longer satisfied the transport needs of Russia and it was decided to create a new canal. Its construction began in 1940. Construction was carried out by prisoners under the direction of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. The Vytegorsky forced labor camp was organized for workers building hydraulic structures.
Due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, construction was frozen and resumed only in 1959. The object was declared a priority construction project for the seven-year plan, and five years later the waterway was built.
On June 28, 1964, the first passenger ship “Krasnogvardeets” departed from the Ozernaya pier in Leningrad on a flight to Yaroslavl. In October, the structure was put into operation, and soon it was named after V.I. Lenin.
Volga-Baltic Canal - structures
- The peculiarity of Volgo-Balt is that all the locks of the Baltic slope, except Pakhomovsky, have the same height - 13.5 meters, which made it possible to use standard structures during construction. There are a total of 7 locks on the canal, one of them (Pakhomovsky) is double-threaded.
- 5 hydroelectric complexes – Vytegorsky, Belousovsky and Novinkinsky, Pakhomovsky and Cherepovets
- 3 hydroelectric power stations – Vytegorskaya, Belousovskaya and Sheksninskaya
- 25 earthen dams and dams
- 4 artificial reservoirs – Vytegorskoye and Belousovskoye, Novinkinskoye and Sheksninskoye
- 5 lock bridges
- 2 ferry crossings
- 11 marinas
- 4 operational villages.
Attractions
For tourists traveling around the Volga-Balt, several green parking lots have been organized, one of them is in the ancient village of Irma. This area is associated with the name of the Russian scientist-historian Nikolai Dmitrievich Chechulin. Here he is buried, and a memorial obelisk was erected on the site of the Chechulins’ burnt house.
Tourist ships also call at the village of Goritsy, located on the left bank of the Sheksna. While the ship is moored, you can take the following excursions:
- The main one is to the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. Like other monasteries of that era, the monastery served as a military fortress, a support of royal power and a refuge in case of war or internal unrest.
- The second excursion is to the Ferapontov Monastery, world famous thanks to the frescoes of Dionysius, created in 1502
- And finally, tourists can independently explore the Goritsky Monastery, located a stone's throw from the pier. This monastery was a place of imprisonment for noble women; for example, in 1608, the daughter of Tsar Boris, Ksenia Godunova, was exiled here.
During the construction of the canal, many settlements fell into the flood zone. Residents moved to new places, but stone temples remained in the villages. One of them, the half-submerged Krokhinskaya Church of the Nativity of Christ, stands at the source of the Sheksna River. The two-story church with a bell tower was built in 1788 in the Baroque style on the shore White Lake by decree of Empress Catherine II. Now the dilapidated temple serves as a “natural landmark” for ships traveling along White Lake.
In the area of the village of Topornya, the North Dvina system (North Dvina waterway) begins, connecting Sheksna and the Northern Dvina River. It was built back in 1829 and has not changed fundamentally since then. It is currently not important for shipping. Only small ships can navigate it, so cruises along the Northern Dvina system are made less and less often. From the board of a motor ship traveling along the Volgo-Balt you can see the first gateway of this outdated water system. However, in our time this series of surviving wooden locks is of interest as a monument to the science and technology of the past.
The Volga-Baltic Canal was created by several generations of designers and builders who realized the long-standing dream of a waterway connecting the ports of five seas. The Volgo-Balt was and remains the busiest waterway, allowing transportation not only between regions of Russia, but also between the seaports of the northern and south seas Europe.
