The name of Ukraine’s busiest port has been officially switched from ‘Yuzhny’ (Russian) to ‘Pivdennyi’ (Ukrainian). Both words mean ‘Southern.’ Founded 40 years ago on a shore of the Ajalyk estuary, 40 km north of Odesa, Pivdennyi handled 43 million tons of cargo last year. It is also Ukraine’s deepest port, with average depths of 15 meters.
