History
[edit]On 11 December 2015 a new ferry route opened with Istanbul, Turkey.[1] The ferry connection became possible after withdrawal of a Russian monopolist from the region soon after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014.[1] With government funding, the Port of Skadovsk was able to deepen the sea floor and rebuild wharfs.[1] This ferry connection cost Ukraine ₴3,000,000 (US$200,000).[1]
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the port was occupied by Russian forces.
