The Port of Kholmsk based on Sakhalin Island is closed for ship arrivals and departures due to unfavorable weather conditions, SASCO told Interfax news agency. The Sakhalin Shipping Company (SASCO) provides ferry service linking the ports of Kholmsk and Vanino.
"The last ferry of SASCO set out from the port of Kholmsk to Vanino on Monday evening. The storm forecast halted on Tuesday the ferry service operations. However, in the afternoon the cargo ferry "Sakhalin-9" left the port of Vanino, heading to the coast of Sakhalin," the shipping company said.
