Grain, iron ore, coal and pig iron dominate the cargo crossing Pivdennyi — formerly Yuzhny — on Ukraine's Black Sea coast, alongside liquids such as petroleum products, oils, chemicals, liquid ammonia and methanol. Listed under UN/LOCODE UA YZE and lying about 30 km east of Odesa, it is Ukraine's largest deepwater port by turnover. Nineteen berths along roughly 5 km of quay and a draft of up to 18.5 m let it handle Capesize and Panamax vessels. In 2020 the port moved around 61.66 million tonnes, some 39% of the national seaport total. Rail and pipeline links connect it to Ukraine's agricultural and industrial heartland. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, operations have hinged on conditions in the Black Sea corridor, so shippers should check routing and insurance carefully. Chornomorsk and Odesa, and outside Ukraine the Romanian port of Constanța, serve as fallback options.
