Combined tonnage handled by the two ports has fallen in half since 2014, to 8.9 million tons, says Rajvis Veckagans, chairman of the Sea Ports Authority. Contributing factors are: loss of the Donetsk industrial heartland in 2014, opening this year of the Kerch bridge – lower than international standards – and, most recently, ‘inspection’ delays by Russian border guards. Ending these delays alone would increase cargo volumes by 10%, he said.
