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. 4 2. General information about the port of Novorossiysk Location: Novorossiysk is situated in the North of Novorossiysk Bay in the North-Eastern part of the Black Sea. General overview: The port consists of two harbors, one is for oil and the other one is for dry cargo. The port specializes in handling grain, sugar, metal, scrap, mineral fertilizers, refrigeration, timber and crude oil cargoes. Traffic figures: Approximately 10,000,000 tons of general cargo and 40,000,000 tons of crude oil handled annually. Approximately 6,000 vessels visit the port annually. 2.1. Basic characteristics of seaport Area of seaport territory 238 hectares Area of seaport water area 344 km2 Quantity of moorings 88 units Length of berthing front of seaport 15 287,72 m Carrying capacity of cargo terminals . total 152 109, 3 thousand ton per year Including: .

Container 652 thousand TEU per year; Maximal dimensions of vessels coming into seaport - on external road: . on draft 19 m; on internal water area of seaport: . on draft 13,1 m; . on length 295,2 m; . on width 45,04 m; 5 Area of covered warehouses 95, 121 thousand m2 Area of open storages 696, 53 thousand m2 2.2. Climate The climate is close to Mediterranean one. In winter-time the air masses from the northern regions are taking hold of the city while in the summer the air is of tropical origin. There are favorable natural conditions. Ice-free Tsemes Bay allows year-round operations, and the port's system of seawalls and breakwaters provides sufficient protection for port facilities, minimizing downtime due to weather conditions. But the blowy weather lasts from November to March and three-day storms with severe wind are pretty common. It makes difficulties for different port operations. 2.3. Rules and regulations of Port Authorities Pilotage and pilot service at the port area of Novorossiysk is obligatory for all Russian and foreign vessels and is carried out around the clock. At the port of Novorossiysk mooring operations for all vessels with gross registered tonnage over 200 are carried out with obligatory tow supply. In the case of south winds with the speed over 14 meters per second (or in the case of unfavorable weather forecast) vessels mooring to berths №№ 4, 9, 14, 17, 40, 41 and JSC «Novorossiysk Grain Terminal» berths №№ 1, 2, 3 is prohibited. If the speed of wind is close to 17 meters per second and a gale warning is announced all mooring operations are carried out only with special permission of Novorossiysk port harbor master. In the case of gale warning of north-eastern winds increase the vessels moored to the berths №№ 4, 5, 6, 6(a), 10, 11, 12,13, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32-5, 39 should have additional strong mooring lines in order not to be torn off the berths. In the case of gale warning of south winds increase (over 17 meters per second) the vessels moored to «Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port» berths №№ 4, 9, 14, 17, JSC «Novorossiysk Grain Terminal» berths №№ 1, 2, 3, 4, 40, 41 and «Novorossiysk Ship-Repair Yard» berth № 1 should be shifted to road immediately. If the wind speed is over 17 meters per second all port cargo handling operations are prohibited. 6 2.4.

  • Russian Oil and Gas Challenges
    Order Code RL33212 Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Updated June 20, 2007 Robert Pirog Specialist in Energy Economics and Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Summary Russia is a major player in world energy markets. It has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country, is among the top ten in proven oil reserves, is the largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil exporter, and the third largest energy consumer. Energy exports have been a major driver of Russia’s economic growth over the last five years, as Russian oil production has risen strongly and world oil prices have been very high. This type of growth has made the Russian economy dependent on oil and natural gas exports and vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. The Russian government has moved to take control of the country’s energy supplies. It broke up the previously large energy company Yukos and acquired its main oil production subsidiary. The Duma voted to give Gazprom, the state- controlled natural gas monopoly the exclusive right to export natural gas; Russia moved to limit participation by foreign companies in oil and gas production and Gazprom gained majority control of the Sakhalin energy projects. Russia has agreed with Germany to supply Germany and, eventually, the UK by building a natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. In late 2006 and early 2007, Russia cut off and/or threatened to cut off gas or oil supplies going to and/or through Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Belarus in the context of price and/or transit negotiations — actions that damaged its reputation as a reliable energy supplier.

  • Crimea: Anatomy of a Decision
    Crimea: Anatomy of a decision Daniel Treisman President Vladimir Putin’s decision to seize the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine and incorporate it into Russia was the most consequential of his first 15 years in power.1 It had profound implications for both foreign and domestic policy as well as for how Russia was viewed around the world. The intervention also took most observers—both in Russia and in the West—by surprise. For these reasons, it is a promising case from which to seek insight into the concerns and processes that drive Kremlin decision-making on high-stakes issues. One can distinguish two key questions: why Putin chose to do what he did, and how the decision was made. In fact, as will become clear, the answer to the second question helps one choose among different possible answers to the first. Why did Putin order his military intelligence commandos to take control of the peninsula? In the immediate aftermath, four explanations dominated discussion in the Western media and academic circles. A first image—call this “Putin the defender”—saw the Russian intervention as a desperate response to the perceived threat of NATO enlargement. Fearing that with President Viktor Yanukovych gone Ukraine’s new government would quickly join the Western military alliance, so the argument goes, Putin struck preemptively to prevent such a major strategic loss and to break the momentum of NATO’s eastward drive (see, e.g., Mearsheimer 2014). 1 This chapter draws heavily on “Why Putin Took Crimea,” Foreign Affairs, May/June, 2016. A second image—“Putin the imperialist”—cast Crimea as the climax of a gradually unfolding, systematic project on the part of the Kremlin to recapture the lost lands of the Soviet Union.

    European Scientific Journal November 2018 edition Vol.14, No.31 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Black Sea Container Market and Georgia’s Positioning Irakli Danelia, (PhD student) Tbilisi State University, Georgia Doi:10.19044/esj.2018.v14n31p100 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n31p100 Abstract Due to the strategically important geographical location, Black Sea region has a key transit function throughout between Europe and Asia. Georgia, which is a part of Black sea area, has a vital transit function for Caucasus Region, as well as for whole New Silk Road area. Nevertheless, still there is no evidence what kind of role and place Georgia has in The Black Sea container market. As the country has ambition to be transit hub for containerizes cargo flows between west and east and is actively involved in the process of formation “One Belt One Road” project, it is very important to identify Country’s current circumstances, capacities and future potential. Because of this, the purpose of the study is to investigate cargo flows and opportunities of the Black Sea container market, level of competitiveness in the area and define Georgia’s positioning in the regional Container market. Keywords: Geostrategic Location, New Silk Road, Transit Corridor, Cargo flow, Container market, Georgia, Black Sea Methodology Based on practical and theoretical significance of the research the following paper provides systemic, historical and logical generalization methods of research in the performance of the work, scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis methods are also used. Introduction Since the end of the Cold War, the Black Sea region has no longer been a static border between the West and the East.

  • Organic-Chlorides-Russian-Crude
    ANTARICA GROUP Surveyors & Claims Adjusters Shipping Agents & Correspondents Russia & Ukraine www.antarica.com To: Steamship Insurance Management Services Ltd Att.: Loss prevention department SUBJECT: SUBSTANTIAL PARCELS OF CONTAMINATED BY ORGANIC CHLORIDES RUSSIAN CRUDE AVAILABILITY OF MARKET GENERAL INFORMATION We have had a number of enquiries from Members IG Clubs regarding possibility of storage and carriage of crude oil cargo supplied by Public Joint Stock Company «Transneft» (further “Transneft”) pumped through the “Druzhba” pipeline, which is delivering the this cargo to the Western Europe via Belorussia and Poland. Members are offered to load and store (till further order of cargo interests) shipping parcels of this cargo, rejected by refineries in Belorussia, Poland and some other European Countries. The following information and recommendations must be issued clarifying this matter. ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM Rejection of the cargo transshipment and carriage by above mentioned countries is based on the fact of higher content of Organic Сhlorides. These compounds (organic chlorides containing hydrochloric acid and free chlorine) are introduced into the oil with reagents used in oil production processes. Till 2018, the Russian Law regulated the content of this compound in the application of oil production, namely, since July 2002, a new GOST R 51858 - 2002 was made in force, regulating the quality indicators of commercial oil, which set the standard for the content of organic chlorides in oil. However, further such regulations were canceled, and some small oil producers and suppliers began to use this compound without control. In this regard, there were parcels of cargo containing a substantially larger proportion of this compound being brought to the market.

  • The Changing Strategic Situation in the Black Sea Region
    DUYGU BAZOGLU SEZER The Changing Strategic Situation in the Black Sea Region Introduction The wider Black Sea region, which includes almost a dozen countries stretching from the Balkans to the Caspian Sea,1 has become one of the world’s most dynamic and fluid areas in the post-Cold War and post-Soviet era. The Black Sea region is bordered on the west by the Balkans; on the east, by the Caucasus, two of the most conflict-ridden sub-regions in the 1990s on the periphery of Europe. Spanning thus the southern belt of the easternmost periphery of Europe, the newly evolving strategic situation in the Black Sea proper has important implications for European security. This paper will address the following questions: What essentially has changed in the Black Sea region? Second, what are the main issues that are on the agenda of Black Sea politics? Clearly, these two questions are interrelated. The discussion is intended to throw light on how the Black Sea region has slowly been acquiring a new significance in and of itself, and how developments in this region relate to and impinge upon European security. What has changed? From Rivalry to Cooperation The end of the Cold War has terminated the Black Sea’s position as one of the immediate zones of global ideological and military confrontation between two power blocs. Only eight years ago the Black Sea, surrounded by three Warsaw Pact countries (the Soviet Union, Romania, and Bulgaria) and one NATO country (Turkey), was considered the microcosm of the Cold War. Today that divide of adversity is history.

However, the dynamics and port development patterns in secondary multi-port gateway regions, such as the Black Sea region, have received far less attention in academic literature. An empirical application of established spatial and functional development models to such secondary port regions might substantiate the external validity of these models as these ports operate in a different spatial, economic and institutional environment. The aim of the paper is to characterize the spatial dynamics of container ports of the Black Sea multi-port gateway regions by testing the validity of established spatial models on port system development. Furthermore, the expected future evolution path for port hierarchy in the Black Sea basin is discussed. By doing so, the paper assesses to what extent the Black Sea port region is following an ‘expected’ development path as portrayed in a number of port system development models, or alternatively, can be characterized as an atypical port system following its own development logic.
