The Port of Skadovsk (Ukrainian: Порт Скадовськ) is located in Skadovsk on the northern shores of Dzharylhach Bay, which is protected from the open seas by island of Dzharylhach. The port operates all year around.
History
On 11 December 2015 a new ferry route opened with Istanbul, Turkey. The ferry connection became possible after withdrawal of a Russian monopolist from the region soon after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. With government funding, the Port of Skadovsk was able to deepen the sea floor and rebuild wharfs. This ferry connection cost Ukraine ₴3,000,000 (US$200,000).
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the port was occupied by Russian forces.
