About This Seaport
At the narrow Kerch Strait, where the Black Sea meets the Sea of Azov, this multipurpose Crimean port channels traffic between the two basins across ten berths totalling some 2,050 m of quay. Its working cargoes are dry bulk and breakbulk — grain, coal, scrap, ferro-alloys, iron-ore pellets, metal products and occasional ammonium nitrate — rather than containers or scheduled liner freight. For forwarders the decisive fact is political: Crimea has been under Russian control since 2014 and sits under EU and US sanctions, so Western carriers, banks and insurers avoid calls here. Grain intake by road and rail runs around 3,000 tonnes per day, but reliable hinterland rail to international networks is absent under current conditions. Legitimate Black Sea cargo is therefore routed through Odesa or Chornomorsk instead.
