June: stable as always

Oboronlogistics summed up the results of the sea transportation carried out in June 2023. The June indicators remained at the level of May, demonstrating not a decrease, but rather an increase in a number of indicators.

1. Oboronlogistics ferries Maria and Lawrentiy, involved in the line Crimea – Caucasus, made about 405 round trips, transported about 18,000 vehicles (2,000 more than last month) and about 23,000 passengers (3,000 more than last month). In early June, the ferry "Lawrence" returned to the line, after carrying out scheduled annual maintenance. Summer weather in Crimea favors ferry navigation.
