Enisey Ship

Here's a ship that goes up the Enisey river in Siberia, in about 1730 km (1074 miles) from Krasnoyarsk. Navigation in this area starts only in June and finished in early October. Probably, this ship goes from Dudinka to Krasnoyarsk. A round trip for container vessel like this one from Krasnoyarsk to Dudinka and back to Krasnoyarsk takes 17 days (including loading and unloading in ports).
