Breaking the war-related slump, Odessa Sea Port is making a comeback with 11 port calls scheduled for this summer by Black Sea cruise ships. Last year, only two Black Sea cruise ships docked. The season starts at the beginning of May with the visit of the Abatros, a Bahamian flight designed for 812 passengers. For 2021, 19 applications for port calls have already been filed. The Infrastructure Ministry wants to put the Odessa Sea Terminal and hotel up for concession. On Jan. 14, a new port director was appointed, Ruslan Ildarovich Sakhautdinov.
