The Merchant Marine of Mongolia
I was amazed to see in the CIA - The World Factbook
that the merchant marine of Mongolia consists of 65 ships with (another?) 38 ships foreign owned. The Khuvsgul lake must be cramped!
For those who are not aware a few other quotes from the same factbook:
- Coastline: 0 km (landlocked)
- Maritime claims: none (landlocked)
- Waterways:580 km
note: only waterway in operation is Lake Hovsgol (135 km); Selenge River (270 km) and Orhon River (175 km) are navigable but carry little traffic; lakes and rivers freeze in winter, are open from May to September (2004)

I don't think there are more than ten ships on Khuvsgul nuur. Three or four bigger and some smaller ones.
I found an interesting article here .
