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.
On December 11, 2015 there was opened new ferry route with Turkey, Skadovsk – Istambul.[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 Port of Skadovsk was able to deepen the sea floor and rebuild wharfs.[1] This ferry connection cost Ukraine 3,000,000 hryvnia ($200,000).[1]
