In 2015, the port's cargo turnover amounted to 12.3 million tons (an increase of 20.8%), which raised it to 15th place among the ports of the Russian Federation.^[1] After the construction of the port terminals is completed, cargo turnover should reach 70 million tons, which will make the port the second or third in Russia.
