1. Introduction
At present time, JSC Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port is the largest port in the Black Sea region. By traffic, the company takes the first place among ports of all FSU countries and ranks among the ten largest European seaports.
JSC Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP) has a dominant role in the port’s cargo handling. The company was founded in December 11, 1992. NCSP handles oil, steel and non-ferrous metals, paper and pulp, raw sugar, fertilizers and containers up to 45 million tons in total per year. Oil and oil products throughput makes up 20 % of the national oil export, other cargoes, about 60 % of all cargo handled in Russian seaports.
Non-freezing Tsemess bay and a system of piers and breakwaters allow for all-year navigation, while navigation safety is secured by the company’s Traffic Control equipped with the computerized control system.
An advanced system of rail and motor communications connects Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port with the key industrial and administrative centers of Russia, Transcaucasia, and the Central Asia, so the company maintains trade routes to the Middle East, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America. Relative proximity to largest foreign markets makes Novorossiysk seaport a very attractive shipping terminal.
