A series of civilian large passenger boats, Project 1430, of the Alexander Green type, began to be built in Kherson, Illichivsk and Baku in 1970 (designer - ChTsPKB). The most successful series of passenger boats, combining great capacity, speed and comfort (especially after the glazing of the middle cabin), was operated in all sea basins of the USSR, rivers and lakes. In total, more than 70 boats were built under this project; several boats of this type were also used in to the Navy.

Now in service.
