About This Seaport
Crude oil, Kazakh CPC blend, wheat and a constrained flow of containers define Novorossiysk, Russia's busiest port by cargo turnover at roughly 131 million tonnes in 2024. Set on the Black Sea coast (UN/LOCODE RU NVS), it is primarily an energy and grain harbour: the Sheskharis terminal handles much of Russia's oil exports, with the port accounting for around 22 percent of the country's crude shipments, while the neighbouring CPC terminal loads crude piped from Kazakhstan. For grain it is the country's leading export outlet, served by facilities such as the Delo Group's KSK terminal, NKHP and the Novorossiysk Grain Terminal. Container traffic concentrates at the NUTEP terminal, also Delo Group, rated at about 700,000 TEU of capacity and handling roughly 624,000 TEU in 2025, plus project and ro-ro cargo. Since 2022, however, many international liner carriers have withdrawn under sanctions, leaving boxed traffic largely in the hands of Russian and regional operators. Russian railways and the road network connect the port to southern and central Russia. For forwarders the sanctions framework is decisive: oil, grain and bulk flows continue, while international container and breakbulk options are sharply limited—Constanța or Poti serve as alternative Black Sea calls outside Russia.
