About This Seaport
Two passenger berths totalling 330 metres define Sochi's seafront, able to take vessels up to 220 metres at an 8.5-metre draft and, after reconstruction, cruise ships approaching 300 metres almost year-round in this ice-free harbour. The port's role on the Black Sea is overwhelmingly passenger and cruise traffic rather than freight. Scheduled passenger links run to the Georgian ports of Poti and Batumi, and a Sochi–Trabzon ferry carrying around 300 passengers and 200 vehicles opened in 2024. Cargo activity is limited to modest services toward Turkish ports such as Trabzon and Istanbul, with no significant container or bulk handling. Forwarders moving boxes, bulk or customs-cleared freight on Russia's Black Sea coast rely instead on Novorossiysk and Tuapse. In short, Sochi is a ferry and cruise terminal, not a commercial cargo port.
