[edit]

Business specialization - transshipment of goods for export. The port has terminals built and under construction for transshipment of the following cargoes: oil and oil products, liquefied petroleum gases, ammonia, grain, coal, fertilizers, iron ore, sulfur, steel products, and containerized cargo. In 2015, the port's cargo turnover amounted to 12.3 million tons (an increase of 20.8%), which raised it to 15th place among the ports of the Russian Federation.[1] After the construction of the port terminals is completed, cargo turnover should reach 70 million tons, which will make the port the second or third in Russia.

The port uses transport approaches common with the Crimean bridge, which allows transshipment of cargo both through the Taman Peninsula and through the Crimea.[2]
