At the Kiev River Station you can find a variety of water transports. If riding on a boat can still be distinguished from a trip on a yacht, then the difference between the ship and the ship is generally incomprehensible.
First, let’s figure out what a ship is. The modern word ship means a military ship, together with all armed accessories. Also, a ship can be called a water transport for carrying passengers, but more often this designation is commonly called liners.
The differences between the steamer and the ship lies in their engine. The first version of the vessel runs on a steam engine, is fueled by solid fuel – wood, coal and the like. Internal combustion engines operate on motor ships and are fueled with liquid fuel – fuel oil.
All tour operators of water transport in Kiev provide the service of renting a motor ship, there are practically no ships at the river station. Because, in comparison with steamboats, motor ships have a large carrying capacity, reliable engines, good range, less fuel consumption. All these advantages made the ship almost disappear from river traffic.
