About This Seaport
Shakotan, on the South Kuril island of Shikotan, has only limited commercial-cargo relevance, functioning essentially as a fishing and fish-processing port. Activity centres on the village of Malokurilskoye, where the Ostrovnoy plant produces canned fish, fish meal, fish oil and frozen products, and a ship-repair yard is being modernised; the local catch includes cod, crab, kelp and saury. The harbour mainly serves the fishing fleet and the dispatch of seafood, rather than general, container or dangerous-goods traffic. Its remote position and the disputed status of the southern Kurils further limit international freight use. Shippers with commercial cargo rely on Korsakov on Sakhalin or Yuzhno-Kurilsk on neighbouring Kunashir.
