The Russian Government in its decree on June 29, 2012 approved changes to the boundaries of waters at the sea port of Kavkaz. This was related to an increase of the Tamansky offshore transshipment area at the port of Kavkaz, Rosmorport press release said.
The territory of offshore anchorage where some cargoes are transshipped onto larger vessels was increased due to growing traffic volumes and the need to ensure the safety of navigation.
To ensure the smooth functioning of the offshore transshipment location Rosmorport provides round the clock navigational and pilotage support of ships in the area with the use of the Kerch Strait Regional VTS formed on the basis of these systems of the ports of Kavkaz and Temryuk.
