In view of the increased turnover of cargoes through the South sea gates of Russian Federation, there is a development of new ports in addition to the traditional ports such as Novorossiysk and Tuapse ports as well as limited area of Azov sea and adjacent rivers.
Main area of development is Taman peninsula and adjacent anchorages. Transfers of Dry bulk and liquid cargoes make this area very busy. Mostly there is an export, however, for some cargoes such as containers – there is also an import.
