This category brings together articles about organizations, vessels, educational institutions, events, and people connected with the water transport of Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region. The Volga and the Oka have historically shaped the region's transport and trade profile: major steamship companies operated here, including the Steamship Company Volga, and shipowner Sirotkin Dmitry Vasilyevich was one of the key figures of Nizhny Novgorod's business world.
A special place in the category is occupied by the theme of hydrofoils and ground-effect vehicles developed at the Nizhny Novgorod Central Design Bureau for Hydrofoil Ships (TsKB po SPK): the Raketa (hydrofoil)))" and the "Lun'" ground-effect vehicle became symbols of Rostislav Alekseev's design school. The category also covers the city's river infrastructure, water transport educational institutions, museums, and current events — up to the launch of new "Meteor 120R"-type vessels.
