Ukraine will soon receive self-propelled ferries from France, which can be deployed in just a few minutes.
France will hand over self-propelled EFA ferries to the CEFA company to Ukraine, said Pierre Heilbronn, France’s special envoy for aid and reconstruction of Ukraine.
He said the ferries deploy in less than 5 minutes, making them an effective means of transferring troops and equipment across rivers and other bodies of water.
The Alsatian company CEFA won the contract for the supply of 16 such ferries.
Earlier, USM reported that France handed over a vessel to Ukraine to assist in the export of grain.
The pilot boat that Ukraine will receive from France will operate on the Danube.
