We consider the five-vertex model on an M ×2N lattice with fixed boundary conditions of special type. We discuss a determinantal formula for the partition function in application to description of various enumerations of N × N × (M − N) boxed plane partitions. It is shown that at the free-fermion point of the model, this formula reproduces the MacMahon formula for the number of boxed plane partitions, while for generic weights (outside the free-fermion point), it describes enumerations with the weight depending on the cumulative number of jumps along vertical (or horizontal) rows. Various representations for the partition function which describes such enumerations are obtained.
