Yesterday, August 17th, the Photon ship started shuttle service on the route Adler - Gagra - Adler. The passenger boat took on board in its first voyage 59 passengers, the Rosmorport’s Sochi branch press service said. The passengers passed the border and customs control at the Adler terminal’s new checkpoint (Sochi Port), launched just recently. The trip will take about two hours one way.
The Photon Shipping Company is the operator of the new coastal service line. The company’s ships will be transporting passengers on the route twice a week. The Photon can carry 156 passengers; maximum speed of the vessel - 11,5 knots.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia had earlier expressed its sharp protest over the resumption of regular sea traffic between Russia and the Republic of Abkhazia.
