Serial building. Since 1991 till 2001 about 48 units of the type "Rhein" were built.
Distribution. Ships of the type "Rhein" are intended for work on main european seas with the possibility of visiting the river ports of Russia and european countries. Ships were delivered to german shipping companies, russian Northern Sea, Northern River, North-Western, Volga shipping companies and to Ukraine and Turkmenistan.
