# Anapa (RU AAQ)

**UN/LOCODE:** RU AAQ

**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 44.8833, 37.3167

With around 551 vessel calls a year and an approach channel just 1.8 m deep, Anapa (UN/LOCODE RU AAQ) on the north-east Black Sea coast is primarily a resort town with very limited freight relevance. The shallow water effectively rules out larger cargo and container ships, so traffic is dominated by passenger and small coastal vessels. The port is run by the Administration of Black Sea Seaports. For containers, bulk and project cargo, shippers use Novorossiysk – Russia's largest seaport, about 52 km to the south-east – complemented by Tuapse.
