De Kastri is best understood as a single-purpose crude oil export terminal, not a general cargo or container port. On the Tatar Strait coast of Khabarovsk Krai, it ships Sokol crude from the Sakhalin-1 project, delivered by a 230-kilometre pipeline from Sakhalin Island. The facility combines storage tanks of around 1.3 million barrels with a single point mooring some 6 kilometres offshore, and has an annual capacity of about 12 million tonnes. Loading goes straight into tankers; there is no breakbulk, container or general-cargo customs handling here. The site has effectively no commercial hinterland connection, serving energy export alone. Shippers needing container or general cargo in the Russian Far East use Vladivostok or Vostochny instead.
