Despite Okha's fame as the birthplace of oil production on Sakhalin, the town's harbour on the Sea of Okhotsk is a modest facility handling local supply and general cargo rather than large export volumes. The region's crude is shipped mainly through offshore facilities such as the FSO serving the Piltun-Astokhskoye field, not from the town quays. Severe ice typically restricts navigation from around December to May. For regular cargo and tanker traffic, Prigorodnoye (oil/LNG), Korsakov and mainland De-Kastri offer stronger alternatives.
