The total number of berths of the port is 54, and the length of the berth line is more than 9 thousand meters. The port receives and services vessels up to 330 meters in length and up to 40 meters in width, and its capacity is 25 million tons of dry and the same amount of liquid cargo, that is, a total of 50 million tons (export / import and transit). Today, the port has 17 terminals and 15 port operator companies. The advantage of the port is the presence of a well-developed transport infrastructure, which allows the delivery of goods by all types of transport.
Currently, several large-scale investment projects for construction and reconstruction are being implemented on the port territory. This is, for example, a project for the construction of an overpass on the highway to the port, which is designed to exclude the passage of trucks through the city. It is planned to complete the implementation of this project in March 2022.
