GENERAL REVIEW OF TAMAN PORTS & ANCHORAGES OF SOUTH BLACK SEA COAST (Russia) In view of the increased turnover of cargoes through the South sea gates of Russian Federation, there is a development of new ports in addition to the traditional ports such as Novorossiysk and Tuapse ports as well as limited area of Azov sea and adjacent rivers. Main area of development is Taman peninsula and adjacent anchorages. Transfers of dry bulk and liquid cargoes make this area very busy. The transhipments in these areas are mostly related to the export of cargoes, however, for some cargoes such as containers – there are also import transhipments. 3 main areas are active and busy with the cargo operations: Anchorage 451, OPL Kavkaz and Port of Taman: 2 Anchorage 451 of port of Kavkaz STS port Kavkaz at road no. 451.

It can also be addressed to vessels proceeding at Port Kavkaz and its approaches, and the ones in transit by Tamanskiy waterway between the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. The Kerch Strait is linking the Sea of Azov in the north to the Black Sea in the south. There is a comparatively high risk of collision with partly submerged objects which may cause damage to vessel’s propeller and shaft. On 11.06.16 a Coastal Warning was issued by the Department of the navigation safety and transport security of Russian Federation. According to Warning, in the Southern part of the Sea of Azov, on the approaches and at the entrance of the Kerch Strait there may be drifting floating objects, which present a potential danger to navigation. All vessels must observed extreme caution when passing these areas and keep away from the drifting submerged objects. If suspicious objects are notices, the vessels should notify the Vessel Traffic Service Kerch and Kavkaz. Till present time the drifting floating objects have mostly been found in the Northern part of the Azov Sea and close to Kerch Strait. In June the coast guards reportedly collected more than 50 items. Those floating objects were made of several barrels partly filled with water and self-expanding foam, with steel wires and chains attached.
