Kerch trade port operates as a branch of the State Unitary Enterprise "Crimean sea ​​ports" The port is located within the city, on the shore of the ice-free Kerch Bay, and is therefore open to ships all year round, although there is a seasonal change in ferry schedules and berth congestion levels.

The commercial port in Kerch has been operating since 1822, created by decree of Alexander I. Currently, the port complex includes seven cargo berths, one operating berth of the Marine Station, a port fleet berth, and three ferry berths.

The total length of all berths is 1484 m. Storage area open air— 140,000 sq. m, the area of ​​covered warehouses is 12,000 sq. m. m. The area of ​​the port water area is 868,000 sq. m. m.

Ferries to Kerch seaport

The Kerch port mainly serves cargo transportation. The main maritime transport hub for passenger ferries is the Kerch crossing.

Currently, depending on weather conditions The line "Caucasus - Kerch Sea Trade Port" is served by two cargo-passenger ferries: "Yeysk" and "Boris Shtokolov".

Information about flights and tariffs is updated on the website of the State Unitary Enterprise “Crimean Sea Ports”.

How to get to Kerch port

The berths of the Kerch Sea Trade Port are located near the city center, along Kirov Street, so it is not difficult to get to the port on foot from most hotels: the berths with cargo ships can be seen from afar.

Nearest stops public transport- “Eremenko Street” (near Pilots Square) and “SRZ” (“Ship Repair Yard”). Suitable transport is bus No. 5, trolleybus No. 1, minibuses No. 2, 3, 5, 6, 19, 28.

From the Kerch bus station it is enough to drive just one stop or walk along Marshal Eremenko Street - the port is about 700 meters almost in a straight line.

Probably the most common definition of Kerch is “port city”. It is Kerch that now connects Crimea and mainland Russia - so far only through ports. Well, the most common profession among Kerch residents is a sailor. Which, as in the old joke, “a girl is waiting at the port.” It turns out that the lives of most citizens are somehow connected with the ports. But are we familiar with all of them?

In addition to its venerable age, it is also famous for its size, number of berths and, of course, cargo turnover. Having once become the center of working and industrial Kerch, it still does not slow down and to this day plays a vital role in the city’s economy.

Port Kamysh-Burun

This point came as a complete surprise to some of us. It turns out that in addition to the three well-known Kerch ports, there is another one, which is officially part of the State Unitary Enterprise Kamysh-Burun Production Company.

This is where the confusion begins. Judging by regional media reports, this very company (more precisely, a concrete and cement production plant), and with it the port, should have been reconstructed as recently as last spring. The headlines of online publications were full of loud phrases that “The Port of Kamysh-Burun will connect Crimea and Russia,” the Kerch administration stated that investors had begun to invest in the port, and repairs were already in full swing... But a year has passed. Rare mentions of Kamysh-Burun have completely disappeared from the press, and city authorities no longer raise this topic. What is happening to the port and for the benefit of whom it exists today is a mystery, because there is no information about it in the public domain.

The port is located on the shore of Kerch Bay. The port is open to ships all year round.

Kerch (population about 200 thousand people) is one of ancient cities Crimea, located on the shore Kerch Strait, connecting the Black and Azov Seas. Iron ore deposits have been explored and exploited on the Kerch Peninsula (explored reserves - 1.7 billion tons). The mining industry is developed in Kerch. Kerch is also a center of fishing and fish canning industry. In addition to the sea trade port and the port of Crimea (Kerch ferry crossing), there is a fishing port here. Among the large enterprises are the metallurgical plant and the Zaliv shipyard. The date of birth of the Kerch sea trade port is considered to be October 10, 1821. The nearest port is Feodosia (distance - 100 km).

The nearest railway station is Kerch.

During periods of ice conditions, ice drift may be observed due to constant changes in currents and wind directions. In such conditions, permission for the passage of a vessel is given by the vessel traffic control center (VTC) in each individual case.

The port's capacity allows it to process 2.5 million tons of cargo per year. These are general cargo (metal products, equipment, etc.), bulk cargo (ferroalloys, cast iron, scrap metal, pellets), containers, wheeled vehicles, and bulk grain.

In recent years, the port's cargo turnover is about 1.2 million tons, about 310 vessels are handled.

The port has one industrial transshipment complex. The port has 7 berths with a total length of 1224 m. Access railway tracks allow cargo to be processed in front and at the rear of the berths.

Handling equipment: universal forklifts – “Toyota”, 27 units. capacity up to 10 tons; "Calm", 17 units. capacity up to 4 tons; "Boss", 2 units. capacity up to 8 tons; specialized forklifts; tractors, bilge and storage vehicles, 13 units.
