Port Kavkaz

Port Kavkaz (Russian: Порт Кавказ) is a small harbour on the Chushka Spit in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, on the eastern side of Kerch Strait.

It is adjacent to the village of Chushka, which is now largely deserted due to toxic effects of the port.

[clarification needed] In August 2014 Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a government order to enlarge the area of the port with the aim to increase cargo transportation volumes with the use of large ships.

[6][7] One source suggested a Neptune missile hit the MV Conroe Trader ferry.
