UA ILK Port (Illichivsk) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Grain, containers and rail wagons define the cargo mix at Illichivsk, the Black Sea port now officially named Chornomorsk and located some 20 kilometres southwest of Odesa. Its grain complex at berths 16 and 17 stores up to 190,000 tonnes across 38 silos and moves roughly 6.2 million tonnes a year. Deep-water berths accept container vessels of up to 8,000 TEU, while a 40-year concession of the container and multipurpose terminals tendered in 2025 targets annual throughput of up to 760,000 TEU. Four rail ferries, each carrying 108 wagons or heavy trucks, link the port across the Black Sea to Georgia and Bulgaria, giving it a genuine RoRo and rail-ferry role. A multimodal complex adds capacity for general cargo, vehicles and citrus. Channel and berth depths reach 14.5 metres, suiting large bulkers and boxships. Hinterland reach runs over Ukraine's broad-gauge rail network and roads toward Odesa and the interior. Together with Odesa and Pivdennyi, it forms the Greater Odesa cluster that carries most of Ukraine's seaborne grain exports. Forwarders planning around wartime constraints should weigh Odesa and Pivdennyi (Yuzhny) as the nearest alternatives.
