RU YEY Port (Yeysk) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Grain, coal and petroleum coke, not containers, define the Port of Yeysk, a universal dry-bulk harbour on the south-eastern shore of the Sea of Azov. Some 3 to 4.5 million tonnes pass through each year across eight berths handling grain, coal, oil products, metals and other bulk; berth 5 is dedicated to coal and berth 6 to petroleum coke, each loading around 4,000 tonnes a day. The man-made basin in Krasnodar Krai sits at the tip of the Yeisk Spit and is sheltered by two moles, while shallow depths of about 3.4 m restrict calls to smaller coastal and river-sea vessels. Rail links via the Azov/Yeysk station and road connections tie the port into southern Russia. Since 2022 many Western carriers and insurers have avoided Russian port calls under tightened sanctions, so forwarders should confirm carrier acceptance and cargo insurability before booking. For deep-sea or containerised cargo, Novorossiysk on the Black Sea is the natural choice, with Rostov-on-Don and Taganrog as regional alternatives.
