Russia will heavily invest in seaport infrastructure on the Black Sea, the Russian Transport Ministry stipulated in a comprehensive plan for port infrastructure modernization on 14 September 2020. The ministry said two new berths are to be built in the Port of Novorossiysk by 2024, to boost the annual capacity of grain terminals by 11.6 million metric tons and ramp-up the capacities for containers and metal transhipment by 15.5 million metric tons. The investment cost for the construction is yet to be disclosed, but Russian authorities make no secret that with this project, they want to redirect some cargo flows toward the Black Sea. "The project's target is to return Russian cargoes from the Ukraine seaports," the ministry stressed. |
