Commercial Seaport Yuzhny has completed reconstruction of the sand berth for transshipment of coastal trade, export and import cargo, the port’s press center reports. The berth is fitted with up-to-date handling equipment. The berth may accept up to 120-meter long vessels. The depth at the berth is 6 meters, which makes it possible to handle Volgo-Balt and Volgo-Don vessels with capacity of 3,000-5,000 tonnes.
Yuzhny port is located at the north-western coast of the Black Sea, in ice-free Maly Adzhalyksky (Grigorievsky) estuary, 30 km from Odessa port. The port provides all-the-year-round navigation. The port’s approach channel is 2 miles long and 14.5 meters deep. As of today, Yuzhny is the second largest port in Ukraine in terms of throughput which is 20.698.6 million tonnes per year.
