FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: shallow vessel with paddle wheels is proposed, consisting of a hull, engines, power transmissions, paddle wheels fixed to propeller shafts installed perpendicular to the direction of the vessel motion, water flow channels and a steering device. The vessel stern is made in the form of two through water flow channels dividing the bottom into three displacement sections on which the supports of two propeller shafts are mounted with paddle wheels fixed to them, consisting of two parallel solid disks with curved blades mounted therebetween, arranged by several diameters unequally distant from the shaft, so that when the wheels rotate, they follow one another, pouring water on the paddles more distant from the shaft, and enter the water at a right angle in the shock-free mode.

EFFECT: improving the performance characteristics of the vessel.
