East Siberian River Shipping Company reduces services due to fuel deficit

The East Siberian River Shipping Company has announced a reduction in its regular and excursion services operating on Lake Baikal and the Angara River. This measure is being implemented due to a reported fuel deficit and a rise in fuel costs within Russia's Irkutsk region. The company indicated it would focus its resources on maintaining subsidized transportation services and ensuring the continued operation of vital ferry crossings. These include routes to Olkhon Island and Port Baikal, aiming to mitigate the impact of the fuel situation on essential regional transport links. Sources: Радіо Свобода
